Prabhupāda: Vedānta-sūtra, that is all axiom. Axiomatic truth. Svarūpa Dāmodara: So the way that science works, also they depend on axioms. But actually, when one analyzes this a little thoughtfully, one should come to the conclusion that actually these axioms are coming from the Absolute. So our first proposition, that in order to understand life and matter one must have this, er, some knowledge of the Absolute Truth, is scientifically sound. Prabhupāda: I think I explained something in the beginning of Īśopaniṣad, my lecture in the Conway Hall, what is that Absolute Truth. Svarūpa Dāmodara: Is it from Poona? Prabhupāda: Yes . . . no. "Introduction." I have given the example that the Vedas say cow dung is pure. This is axiomatic truth. Now if you analyze cow dung you'll find all the antiseptic properties are there. This is axiomatic.

Prabhupāda: Vedānta-sūtra means all axiom.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Vedānta?

Prabhupāda: Vedānta-sūtra, that is all axiom. Axiomatic truth.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: So the way that science works, also they depend on axioms.

Prabhupāda: I think I explained something in the beginning of Īśopaniṣad, my lecture in the Conway Hall, what is that Absolute Truth.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Is it from Poona?

Prabhupāda: Yes . . . no. "Introduction." I have given the example that the Vedas say cow dung is pure. This is axiomatic truth. Now if you analyze cow dung you'll find all the antiseptic properties are there. This is axiomatic.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Now in the next slide we establish the difference between the life and matter. These are some of the basic differences between the . . .

Prabhupāda: We can read it?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Can everybody see this?

Prabhupāda: I cannot read.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: One side it says "matter," the other side it says "life."

Svarūpa Dāmodara: On the left side, it is matter; on the right side, it is life. Now it is little different from the way that this different set-up by biologists. This is quite unique in a sense, because we all take this from the sources of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Bhagavad-gītā. So the first point says that matter is the inferior energy of the Absolute Truth, and on the right column, it is the superior energy of the Absolute Truth. Now in the . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā.
