Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Sometimes we see from the heaps of rice the scorpion is coming out. So foolish people will think that the rice is the cause of the life of the scorpion. But that is not the fact. Real fact is the scorpion, they lay eggs within the heaps of the rice, and by fermentation of the rice the eggs become fructified, and life come out. Not that rice, a dead matter, is the cause of the life. So now big, big scientists, they are trying to prove that life come from matter. But here we understand from Kṛṣṇa, the supreme authority, that He is the origin of all life.


Prabhupāda:

bījaṁ māṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
viddhi pārtha sanātanam
buddhir buddhimatām asmi
tejas tejasvinām aham
(BG 7.10)

So bījaṁ, the original seed of life: sarva-bhūtānāṁ. The modern scientists, they are trying to prove that life comes from matter, chemical evolution. But we don’t accept that. We accept from Bhagavad-gītā that Kṛṣṇa is the original life. Kṛṣṇa is not a dead stone. As it is said in the Vedānta-sūtra, janmādy asya yataḥ (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.2): the Absolute Truth is that from which everything emanates. So that Absolute Truth, what kind of . . . absolute Truth, is it dead matter or living force? It cannot be dead matter, because there are so many living entities; and the Absolute Truth is a dead matter, it cannot produce living entities, because we have no such experience that from dead matter living entities are coming out. That is not possible.

Sometimes we see that from cow dung some life is coming out. Sometimes we see from the heaps of rice the scorpion is coming out. So foolish people will think that the rice is the cause of the life of the scorpion. But that is not the fact. Real fact is the scorpion, they lay eggs within the heaps of the rice, and by fermentation of the rice the eggs become fructified, and life come out. Not that rice, a dead matter, is the cause of the life. So now big, big scientists, they are trying to prove that life come from matter. But here we understand from Kṛṣṇa, the supreme authority, that He is the origin of all life: bījaṁ māṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ. Sarva-bhūtānāṁ.
