<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- May 16, 1975, Perth|Morning Walk -- May 16, 1975, Perth]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: A very good bus.</p>
<p>Paramahaṁsa: Practically every one of these cars only has one person in it.</p>
<p>Devotee (1): So actually, they have not advanced technologically from the civilizations of Rāvaṇa's time?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is not civilization. Technological advancement is not civilization. It is the advancement of ugra knowledge. Real civilization is to advance in Brahman knowledge. If there are brāhmaṇas, that is advancement. This is not advancement because they do not know what is advancement. They have no knowledge that "I have to die, and I have to accept another body after death." They do not know it. So long this body is there, they are trying to have very comfortable position. But they do not know that after this body, he has to accept another body. So how this technology will help him? If, in this life, by technological advancement you live very comfortably, and next life you become a dog, then where is the advancement? That they do not know.</p>
