What is that atomic energy? What is the use of it? We'll die. Without atomic energy you'll die. What is this control? Death is already there, and you are utilizing atomic energy for death, that's all. So what is your credit? You use atomic energy that you'll not die. Then it is control. Death is already there. You might have atomic energy or no atomic energy—you have to die. By atomic energy you are accelerating the same problem of death, that's all.

You control nature that "Death will not be forced upon me." So where is the history that man has controlled nature?

Nitāi: They say that now we are controlling atomic energy, and now we are controlling . . .

Prabhupāda: What is that atomic energy? What is the use of it? We'll die. Without atomic energy you'll die. What is this control?

You might have atomic energy or no atomic energy—you have to die. By atomic energy you are accelerating the same problem of death, that's all.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Gradually we are learning how to become deathless.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They will argue . . .

Prabhupāda: That is foolishness.
