Try to convince these rascal like that, that "You are seeing the extra chemicals. They are not cause, they are effect." Sometimes when a rascal cannot understand two things, which is cause and which is effect, they misunderstand effect as cause or cause and effect. That is imperfect knowledge, illusion, taking the effect as cause. That is their mistake. Whole basic principle of their knowledge is mistake, illusion, on account of imperfect senses, and they are cheating. On account of imperfect senses, they cannot understand what is cause and what is effect. And without knowledge, they have become teacher. Therefore they are not teacher but cheater. This is the conclusion.

Prabhupāda: . . . is contamination. Just like when a person is diseased, you find so many extra chemicals in his body. So a diseased person produces such chemicals, not that chemicals are the agents for his life. Try to understand. When a living entity is pure, when he becomes impure, these chemicals are produced out of him. Exactly the same thing: just like when a man becomes contaminated, infected with some disease, you will find so many extra things, germs and chemicals, in his body. So these extra chemicals, germs, are not responsible for his living condition. Because he is living and because in a awkward condition, therefore these things have been produced by him.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: But how about the normal chemicals, which are . . .

Prabhupāda: Normal chemicals must be. They're of the whole world . . . the material world is made of chemicals. So wherever you go and see, the chemicals in different, what is called, element, they are present. You cannot see, but chemicals . . . because you have no eyes to see the soul, so you simply see the chemicals which is produced by the soul.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: But sometimes these chemicals . . .

Prabhupāda: Just like anything you keep for some time, when it is decomposed, you find so many chemicals, extra. So now they are mistaking. The chemicals are not . . . they are effects; they are not cause. When a thing is decomposed, you'll find so many extra chemicals. Our point is that because a thing is decomposed, so many chemicals come out, not that on account of these chemicals it has given . . . a dead body. A dead body—not that because the chemicals have come, therefore he is dead. No. Because the body is dead, therefore so many chemicals have been produced.

Try to convince these rascal like that, that "You are seeing the extra chemicals. They are not cause, they are effect." Sometimes when a rascal cannot understand two things, which is cause and which is effect, they misunderstand effect as cause or cause and effect. That is imperfect knowledge, illusion, taking the effect as cause. That is their mistake. Whole basic principle of their knowledge is mistake, illusion, on account of imperfect senses, and they are cheating. On account of imperfect senses, they cannot understand what is cause and what is effect. And without knowledge, they have become teacher. Therefore they are not teacher but cheater. This is the conclusion.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Even if these chemicals are made, Śrīla Prabhupāda, if the environment is not favorable to enter the soul, then the chemicals . . .

Prabhupāda: Therefore I say on account of the environment, these chemicals are produced. Therefore I say. When a man is diseased—the environment has changed—other, extra chemicals comes out. It is the environment. I am also pointing out that. The environment is the cause. Chemical produced in the body of a dead body, you cannot produce in the laboratory, because the environment is different. Unless you find out a dead body, that chemicals you cannot manufacture. How can you find out the chemicals of dead body in a living body? Get up. Yes. (laughing) So pay; then the chemical is produced. Without payment, then there is no chemical. Cause is the payment. These rascals, they do not understand this.
