Hamsaduta: Then, she says, why do the philosophers not study in India?
Prabhupada: Hmm? Then again, the same question. Because they are rascals.
Hamsaduta: (German)
Prabhupada: Because they are rascals, they are speculating. They do not understand how knowledge is gathered. This is our charge. You refute it.
Hamsaduta: (German)
Guest (Indian man): Also, just one sentence, Prabhupada. A lot of Indians, they know they are taking body again and again. They are taking the body again and again after birth. Why they are committing again and again sins, and which mode of nature...?
Prabhupada: Because they do not know how to stop this process. That is mentioned in the Bhagavad-gita. You can stop this. But these... Again rascals. They'll not take the method. Krsna said that "If you simply try to understand Me," janma, "why I appear and why I come here and work," karma..., "they are divine." The divine nature of Krsna's appearance, disappearance and activities, if one can understand, then immediately he becomes free from this process. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti (BG 4.9). But the rascals will not do that. They'll misunderstand Krsna. They'll misdescribe Krsna. They'll think, "Krsna is ordinary man." Gandhi will say that "I don't think there was any person living as Krsna." And he is mahatma. These things are going on. Mahatma is proving himself as the greatest rascal. This is your mahatma, and what to speak of the duratma. So you are being guided by these...
