Prabhupāda: . . . Nobel Prize. He came to California University. So he was lecturing on his theory that life has begun by combination of certain chemicals. He has mentioned those chemicals. But in that meeting, there was a member, he's my student, my disciple. He's doctor in chemistry. He has learned something about our philosophy. So he challenged that gentleman that, "If I give you all these chemicals, whether you can produce life?"

The answer was, "That I cannot say." The answer was not very distinct. Actually, that is not the fact. If the scientist says that life begins from chemicals, wherefrom the chemicals came, the next question will be. You cannot get chemicals without being supplied by somebody else. So we are presenting this theory. People are being misled. It is a great question at the present moment, that the scientist says that from matter life begins. We are challenging, "No. From life, matter comes." Just the opposite.

So we are confident, because we have got our Kṛṣṇa's statement in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', ''mayādhyakṣeṇa'' ([[vanisource:BG9.10 (1972)|BG 9.10]]): "Under My superintendence." ''Mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ. Prakṛti'' is matter. ''Jaḍa-prakṛti.'' We have got many confirmation from the Vedic literature. ''Yato vā imāni bhūtāni jāyante. Imāni bhūtāni yataḥ jāyante'' (''Taittirīya Upaniṣad'' 3.1). In the ''Vedānta''-''sūtra'' the same thing is confirmed: ''janmādy asya yataḥ, anvayāt.'' The ''Bhāgavata'' explains, begins from this ''Vedānta''-''sūtra'': ''janmādy asya yataḥ anvayāt itarataś ca artheṣu abhijñaḥ svarāṭ'' ([[vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). So we have got our sufficient background to challenge this theory that life comes from matter. No.

When Kṛṣṇa says . . . in another place, Kṛṣṇa also says:

:''ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo''
:''mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate''
:''iti matvā bhajante māṁ''
:''budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ''
:([[vanisource:BG10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]])

''Budhāḥ''. Not the rascals and nonsense, but those who are intelligence, ''budhāḥ. Bodha''. ''Bodha'' means knowledge, and ''budha'' means one who possesses knowledge. So those who are devotees of Kṛṣṇa, they are not rascals. They are not rascals. They are ''budhāḥ''. Not only ''budhāḥ'', but also ''bhāva-samanvitāḥ. Bhāva-samanvita'' means a person who has understood Kṛṣṇa or who is in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he feels the presence of Kṛṣṇa everywhere. ''Bhāva-samanvitāḥ. Budhā bhāva-samanvitāḥ.''
