<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- (World War III) -- April 4, 1975, Mayapur|Morning Walk -- (World War III) -- April 4, 1975, Mayapur]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Haṁsadūta: So Prabhupāda, is there something we should do to prepare ourselves for this disaster?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What?</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: This coming war.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You should simply prepare for chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: That's all?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That's all.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda, people sometimes argue that "God placed us in this world..."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: People argue that "God has placed us in this world, and that He's left us in darkness, so therefore He's played a trick on us." What is our argument against this?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You have come to this world of darkness, and Kṛṣṇa is trying to raise you again to the light. That is the fact. You have willingly come to this nonsense place. Kṛṣṇa is so kind that He comes Himself and tries to again get you out, deliver from this nonsense thing. This is real position.</p>
<p>Tripurāri: They say that "God has put us here, but He's given us intelligence, so we're to figure it out ourselves."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Tripurāri: That "God has put us here, and He's given us intelligence, so we're to figure it out ourselves."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So therefore, you take intelligence from God, you rascal. Why do you keep yourself in darkness?</p>
<p>Tripurāri: Well, they say that "God has given us the intelligence to figure it out on our own."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is intelligence—you surrender. You are surrendering to māyā, to your wife, to your dog, to your family, to your house, to your nation. Why not God? You rascal. You are surrendering to so many other things. Why not to God?</p>
