<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation with Banker -- September 21, 1973, Bombay|Room Conversation with Banker -- September 21, 1973, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Brahmānanda: At MIT. At other colleges I was present.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So that very time so I first of all asked the students, "Where is your technological department to find out the thing when a man is dead, and you replace it?" These were my subject matter. I talked. A man is working. (Aside:) come on. A man is working. All of a sudden he stops to work. So a motor car is working. All of a sudden it stops. So there are technologists who can repair the car and it will again start. That is technology. Now the man is working, stopped. So where is that technology to make it move again. That was... I spoke on this. So they very much appreciated. After my lecture they gathered round me. You remember that? No.</p>
<p>Gargamuni: I wasn't there.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So actually, in this, at the present moment, they have invented so many technology, but this technology is missing. Janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi ([[Vanisource:BG 13.9|BG 13.9]]). Nobody wants to die. And where is that technology, to stop death? What so you think? You are financing many technological institutions, businesses. Why don't you finance an institution which is giving instruction how to stop death?</p>
<p>Banker: But as I understood it, you were encouraging death as a form of liberation. Isn't that my understanding? That that was the ideal?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. Therefore you are not financing. Because you misunderstand. Actually, we are giving the technological knowledge by which one stops death. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Find out that verse.</p>
<p>Acyutānanda: Janma karma ca me divyam evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 4.9|BG 4.9]])?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. You can stop your death. That technology we are teaching. (break)</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: ...tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna ([[Vanisource:BG 4.9|BG 4.9]]).</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Read it.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Janma is birth, karma is work ca, also, me, of mine, divyam, transcendental, evam. (break)</p>
