Conversations and Morning Walks

1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

The medical man, the engineer, the archaeologist or this or that, they are all meant for the body. Similarly, there must be one expert section who are meant for the soul. But all the universities, all the universities, they have got these departments—medical department, engineering department, law department—but there is no department which is teaching perfectly well about the science of soul.

Prabhupāda: Yes, so that solution we are preaching, we are trying to preach, at least one section of people should know the science of the soul. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Just like medical necessity is there, does not mean that everyone should become medical man. Similarly, the science of soul is necessity—it does not mean that everyone will be the transcendentalist or the scientist about soul. But at least one section of people must be there who knows perfectly well about the science of soul. As much as there is medical man—he knows perfectly well what is psychology . . . what is physiology, anatomy—there is engineer—he knows how to construct—similarly, a section must be there who knows perfectly well about the science of soul. So as there is need of medical men, engineer or lawyers or other, similarly, there is need of one section of expert who knows the science of soul. The medical man, the engineer, the archaeologist or this or that, they are all meant for the body. Similarly, there must be one expert section who are meant for the soul. But all the universities, all the universities, they have got these departments—medical department, engineering department, law department—but there is no department which is teaching perfectly well about the science of soul.

Lady: (Spanish)

Hṛdayānanda: (translating) She said that she has studied . . . she, for example . . . she's not sure, because she herself has, for example, studied two years in theology when she was a student.

Prabhupāda: Theology is different. Not very much different; but the modern so-called theology, that is also different speculation. That is not science. There are different theologist. Science cannot be differently opinion. "Two plus two" is science. It is always four. Nobody can say that "In my opinion it is five," "In my opinion it is three." That is not science, that is speculation.

Lady: (Spanish)

Hṛdayānanda: (translating) She would like to know—nice question—what would be the characteristics of this brahminical class. How would they be selected, and what are their qualities and so on?

Prabhupāda: Just find out this, satyaḥ śamaḥ damaḥ, titikṣa ārjavaḥ āstikyaṁ, jñānam vijñānam, brahma-karma svabhāva.
