Real knowledge comes from Krishna consciousness, not from scientific bluffing and hollow material discoveries.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Mind's business is restlessness. Where is surprising? Therefore we have to fix up our mind on the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. Otherwise there is no way.
It is very restless. That is the nature. The yogīs, they try to control the mind by mechanical process—dhyāna, dhāraṇā, āsana, prāṇāyāma. [break] Cigarette is, I think, advertised, "Nobody is lower than me." That means no other cigarette is lower in poisonous effect. In a different way it is advertised.
"Nobody is lower than me." Humble. Hṛdayānanda: Who is that, Śrīla Prabhupāda? Prabhupāda: Cigarette is full of poison. It is being advertised, "Nobody is lower than me." Hṛdayānanda: Oh, yes, the tar content. Prabhupāda: That means "I am first, I am first class." Less poison. "Nobody contains lower poison than me." [break] ...city, when it was constructed? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: A lot of the buildings are from the early 1800s, 1850. Like the Museum of Natural History that we visited, that was 1869.
It was settled even earlier than that. Hṛdayānanda: It was always a very important city. For almost two or three hundred years it's been a very important city for trade, business, commerce.
Prabhupāda: When they first settled? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: In the 1600s. Ādi-keśava: It was settled by the Dutch in the 1600s. That's three hundred years ago. Hṛdayānanda: Called New Amsterdam.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Some Indians were living here on this island, and the Dutch people, they bribed them or traded it for about thirty dollars' worth of jewels and trinkets. Hṛdayānanda: The Dutch were defeated by the British, and the British took New York.
Prabhupāda: Jora yāra muluka tāra: "Might is right." [break] ...right is going on now also, but under some plea, United Nation. Where is unity? [break] Broadway? Sometimes I stayed in this house.
