Without Krishna consciousness, modern civilization is merely dogs running in cars instead of on legs.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: If we say all these things, they will cut my head. [laughs] Therefore I don't say in the public meeting all these things. But it is actually dog's race. No value.
Actually, no value. We cannot give any value to this type of civilization, running like dog with car. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: I remember in South Africa, though, Prabhupāda, you called them, [laughs] at every meeting, dogs and cats. And afterward they were always applauding.
[claps] Hari-śauri: He did that. [laughing] You did that in South India as well. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: I think that if...
Prabhupāda: No, no, when I come in emotion, I cannot check to speak the truth. But actually it is the fact. I cannot give any credit to these rascals [laughs] who are running at high speed, big, big car. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: What did we read?
There was an article about Mars today. Hari-śauri: Oh. Nonsense. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The scientists, again...
Hari-śauri: They were speculating about... They sent this spaceship to Mars, and they were speculating that maybe now the so-called smog that covers the surface of the planet, it could be fog. It could be made of ice and water particles. So now they..., so they were speculating like that.
And then they said they were going to land the spaceship in a valley at a certain point that is four miles deep and that may..., it may have been filled with water fifty thousand years ago, and it could have fossils in it from the type of life that existed there, if it existed. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Fifty thousand years ago. [laughter] Prabhupāda: Scientist rascal. How ludicrous. Simply "maybe," "if it was" and "it will be." That's all.
