Prabhupāda: So janmādy asya yataḥ, the atheist class, the so-called scientists, asuras, they say it is a chemical combination, by accident. We don't say like that. We say the janmādy asya, the original source of everything, is a person. Janmādy asya yataḥ anvayād itara artheṣu, ca artheṣu abhijñaḥ. Just like this microphone, if I say accidentally all the material things, electronics parts, mixed together and became a micro . . . no, we don't say that. We say, "This is manufactured by somebody who is very expert in dealing with these parts." That is our knowledge. Janmādy asya yataḥ anvayād itarataś cārtheṣu abhijñaḥ. The person who has mixed together these different parts is very expert, abhijñaḥ. That is right conclusion. And if you, as a rascal, if you say that, "All of a sudden the material parts—there are many parts—they become assembled, just like one lusty man becomes accidentally lusty desire and the woman also becomes, they unite," it is not like that. It is not accident. There is brain. So every creation has got a brain behind it. Therefore it is said, abhijñaḥ. Janmādy asya yataḥ anvayād itarataś cārtheṣu abhijñaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.1|SB 1.1.1]]). That abhijñaḥ is God, Kṛṣṇa, one who knows things, how to do it.

So in this way, if we study that the asuras, their symptoms are described . . . so asuras are condemned. They cannot have any happiness. They'll simply go on theorizing. There is no solution. So one has to become deva. Viṣṇu-bhakto bhaved devaḥ. If we remain asuras, rascals, then our life is spoiled.

Thank you very much. (break)

Devotee (1): These qualities that you were talking about, śaucam, do they develop naturally?

Prabhupāda: If you practice as they are described in the śāstra, then gradually you become released from the asura stage and come to the deva stage. Then you understand everything rightly. And if you keep yourself as asuras, then you will never be happy.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The statement here is that the material world is founded on lust. This is the asuric conception. So everything . . .

Prabhupāda: The Sāṅkhya philosophy is also like that.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Yes. So this lust . . . the godly qualities come from Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The godly qualities, they come from Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Everything comes from Kṛṣṇa.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Even the demoniac qualities?

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everything. Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 10.8 (1972)|BG 10.8]]). When Kṛṣṇa says: "I am the origin of everything," so the demonic quality is also coming from Kṛṣṇa. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante ([[Vanisource:BG 4.11 (1972)|BG 4.11]]). If you want to become a demon, Kṛṣṇa will supply the quality. You become first-class demon. Without Kṛṣṇa's help you cannot become even demon. It is said, sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 15.15 (1972)|BG 15.15]]): "I am situated in everyone's heart." Sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ. (aside) What did you get by, while I speaking, taking photograph? I repeatedly ask you. You are obstinate.
