Prabhupāda: God exists, we have given so many proofs. If the rascal cannot understand, what can be done? There is mother, there is children; where is the father? This is our argument. Mother, the earth is mother, and everything, these trees, we are all coming out of mother, mother nature. And who is the father? What is the answer? Now, what the atheist will say that there is no God? How they will say?
Rāmeśvara: They say the earth is the mother and the father.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Rāmeśvara: They say the earth is the mother and the father.
Prabhupāda: No. That is another nonsense. Because you cannot see, practically, the mother and father is the same person. That is not . . . father is different.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Why doesn't life come from the concrete then?
Prabhupāda: No, apart from that, mother and father cannot be one; they must be two, from our practical experience. So how can I accept a rascal like you that father and mother the same?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: But we see that Lord Brahmā is born from the same father and mother.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Lord Brahmā, he has no mother.
Prabhupāda: But he has a father, and the mother is that lotus flower.
Rāmeśvara: Material energy.
Devotees: Oh.
Rādhā-vallabha: There's a whole classification of animals called autotroph. An autotroph is . . .
Prabhupāda: First of all, you study you animal, whether your father and mother is the same. Then go to other animals. First of all you animal, you study first.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They can say, though, that the material nature is mother and father in this way: that both the mother and father are products of the material energy.
Rāmeśvara: They want this impersonalism. They don't like the philosophy of personalism.
Prabhupāda: Whole thing is personalism. You are talking because you are a person. You are talking all nonsense because you are person. Neither the air is talking, neither sky is talking. Because you are a person you are talking so many nonsense things.
