Krsna, the All-Attractive 5
SYAMASUNDARA: Taste, pleasure.

BOB: OK.

SRILA PRABHUPADA: Pleasing taste. So the Vedas say, raso
vai sah. The exact translation of mellow is rasa. [Malati,
Syadmasundara’s wife, enters with a tray of food] What is that?
MALATI: Eggplant, fried.

SRILA PRABHUPADA: Oh! All-attractive! All-attractive!
[Laughter.]

SYAMASUNDARA: How is Krsna the greatest scientist?
SRILA PRABHUPADA: Because He knows everything. A
scientist is one who knows a subject matter thoroughly. He
is a scientist. Krsna—He knows everything.

BOB: I am presently a science teacher.

SRILA PRABHUPADA: Yes, teaching. But, unless you have
perfect knowledge, how can you teach? That is our ques-
tion.

BOB: Without perfect knowledge, though, you can teach —
SRILA PRABHUPADA: That is cheating; that is not teach-
ing. That is cheating. Just like the scientists say, ““There was
a chunk... and the creation took place. Perhaps.
Maybe . . 2” What is this? Simply cheating! It is not
teaching; it is cheating.

BOB: Let me repeat what you said this morning —that was
interesting. I asked about miracles, and you said that only a
fool would believe in miracles because —let us say you are a
child and an adult lifts this table. That’s a miracle. Or
you’re a chemist and you combine acid and base and you
make smoke, an explosion or whatever. To somebody ig-
norant, that’s a miracle. But for everything there is a pro-
cess, and so when you see a miracle, it’s just ignorance of
the process. So that only a fool would believe in miracles,
and—you correct me if I say wrong . . .
