Prabhupāda: What you can do when a man dies? Can you save? So similarly, everyone is being handled by the laws of nature. Nobody can do anything, just puffed up, "We can do this plan." All these political leaders, they are simply wasting time.

They cannot do anything. Indira promised, garibi hatāo. But now he is, she is daridra, poverty-stricken. Daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā duratyayā [Bg 7.14].

These rascals, they challenging the material laws? Such a rascal? You are scientists, they are challenging. Are they not challenging? Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes, we challenge. Prabhupāda: What kind of rascals they are, just imagine.

Just like "I shall move the mountain with my head." Such rascal. And they are going on as scientist. You have to challenge them like that, that "You are all rascals for challenging the laws of nature." But from the very beginning I called them rascals. Girirāja: You were right. Prabhupāda: Little ABCD, and they are trying to challenge the laws of nature. Little learning dangerous.

Alpa-vidyā bhayaṅkarī. Just like in our Society. Some of them have got little Sanskrit—they have become scholar, Sanskrit scholar. They're reading only Sanskrit.

Rascal cannot read anything, and they are wasting money, four hundred, five hundred, like that, "Sanskrit Department," dozen men. You were speaking. So I have stopped it. Unnecessary.

I have talked with so many foreign Sanskrit scholars. They do not know anything. Still, they are passing as Sanskrit scholar.
