<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Conversation, 'Rascal Editors,' and Morning Talk -- June 22, 1977, Vrndavana|Conversation, 'Rascal Editors,' and Morning Talk -- June 22, 1977, Vrndavana]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Svarūpa Dāmodara: We have to tell them that "We cannot completely negate the scientific advancement. We cannot simply say that what you are all doing is nonsense." At the same time, we can bring out that "Yes, you are doing, making an attempt to find a solution or comfortable situation. It's not possible," that "There must be something beyond. It's not enough."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And that is yato bhaktir adhokṣaje. That is the first citing. There are two kinds of occupational duty. The one is inferior, going down, and other is superior, go back to home.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: Satisfaction of the soul, Śrīla Prabhupāda just mentioned.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: So the Adhokṣaje.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Adhokṣaje. Yato bhaktiḥ. When you become a devotee, then you'll go.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: That is required.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is the aim of life. So everything is explained in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. And then these unfortunate rascals, they are distorting. What can I do? How to stop it?</p>
<p>Devotee (3): But they will argue, "Why should we accept that there will be a next life?"</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Rascal, why you are accepting old age? You are young man. You have to accept, become. Why you are accepting, rascal? Answer this.</p>
<p>Devotee (3): I don't know.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So then why do you talk nonsense? "Why shall I accept?" You have to accept, nonsense. That is the law of nature. Do you think you'll not become an old man like me? "I'll not accept." You have to accept. So what is the use of saying like that, foolish rascals?</p>
<p>Devotee (3): So they must accept that...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They must accept. They have to accept.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: Oh, yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You are all young men. Who wants to become an invalid man like me? With three men I have to walk. Nobody wants. But you have to accept. I did not like. But you have to accept, compulsory. What is the use of saying, "Why shall I accept?" You... "Why?" There is no question of "Why?" You have to. That is the control.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They might argue that...</p>
