Prabhupāda: Yes. Andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]). All rascals, mūḍhāḥ. Our simple formula is: Anyone who is not Kṛṣṇa conscious, he's a rascal, thats all. Never mind what he is. We immediately reject him, a rascal. Our simple formula. And actually they're rascal. They're talking like rascals, childish, the life came from matter. Prove it. That future, what is this? I am very rich man, and as soon as I ask you, "Give me some money," "Oh, yes. I'll give you in future." What is this?

Devotee: Bluff.

Brahmānanda: Sometimes when we ask someone to become a Life Member, they say: "Yes, sometime in future." We become very disappointed.

Prabhupāda: We shall make vigorous propaganda against all this rascalism. That is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Mūḍhāḥ. Challenge them.

Brahmānanda: Saying "In future," that is a bluff.

Prabhupāda: Bluff. That is a bluff. When that future will come? That they do not know. That is another bluff. And still, they're proud of advancement of knowledge. Still they're talking of future. And what is your advancement?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: So long as the future is there, they have a voice to say . . .

Prabhupāda: Future we cannot trust. "Trust no future, however pleasant." This is our philosophy. Everyone says that. "Trust no future, however pleasant." You may talk that future is very bright, but we don't believe in that. Why future? If you are advanced—immediately.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: That's . . . (indistinct)?

Prabhupāda: In the past, you say, in the past the life came out of matter. Why you again say in the future? What is this theory? You have already committed that the life began from matter. That is past, "began." Then why you say now again "future"? Then where is the beginning? Eh? Why this contradiction? If life began from matter, that is past. That is in the past. Then why do you say again future? What is the answer? Is it not contradiction?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yeah. That misses the whole point.

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is whole, wholesale nonsense. Wholesale nonsense. You are expecting the fact in the future, still you say it began in the past. Just see the contradiction.

Devotee: Yes.
