Jealousy of God corrupts the heart, manifesting as envy of all beings and false pride masquerading as knowledge.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Hṛdāyānanda: ...puffed up with knowledge.
Prabhupāda: What is their knowledge, nonsense? He has knowl...? Have they knowledge? Bhagavān: They're trying to prove that sense gratification is bona fide.
Prabhupāda: And where is sense gratification? As soon as nature kicks you out, where is your sense gratification? Hṛdāyānanda: It's a relative thing. Actually, compared to the ordinary man, he's much more intelligent.
Prabhupāda: What is intelligence? Hṛdāyānanda: He's thinking that "I know so many things, and these other people, they don't know these things. Therefore I'm better than them." Prabhupāda: So the birds and beasts, they know better than you many things. There are many birds and beasts.
Guru-kṛpā: "They can't... They can't explain it." Prabhupāda: Eh? Guru-kṛpā: "They can't explain it." Prabhupāda: You also cannot explain. What is explaining?
All nonsense. Guru-kṛpā: "Well, I can explain." Prabhupāda: "Perhaps." "Might be." "It was like this and that..." What is that explanation? Guru-kṛpā: Well, the common man doesn't challenge that.
Prabhupāda: Mean common men are fool. But why we should accept? Bhagavān: If they could really explain it, so many things would not be going wrong.
