SB Canto 2
Conversations and Morning Walks
1976 Conversations and Morning Walks
Prabhupāda: Just suppose here are stones, there are pearls. You cannot imagine.
Hari-śauri: Lying on the roadside. [break]
Prabhupāda: ...Western scientists, philosophers, they are all Dr. Frogs. They simply calculating three feet water, that's all. As soon as you speak to them about Atlantic Ocean, they say, "Oh, it is impossible." Froggish brain. [break] ...word has come, kūpa-māṇḍūkya-nyāya, the frog in the well.
Hari-śauri: Prabhupāda, is that example also given in the Bhāgavatam? Frog in the well? Sometimes you use all these different examples, and they are all there in the Bhāgavatam. I was just wondering if this frog in the well was also there.
Prabhupāda: No.
Hari-śauri: You use very graphic examples; they're very perfect.
Prabhupāda: No, my Guru Mahārāja used to use to place so many examples, (laughs) I do not know all of them. No, there is a book, Nyāya-śāstra, logic. You'll find all these things.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Is that the Nīti-śāstra?
Prabhupāda: Nīti-śāstra is different. This is Nyāya-śāstra.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Logic. Caitanya Mahāprabhu was a student.
Prabhupāda: Yes, logician.Page Title: | Froglike brains |
