<div class="heading">That I do not know. Well, they do not believe in astrology. Therefore they cannot take any step. They do not believe in next life, so they cannot take any step. And whether it is a fact or not, because they do not believe in next life, so what is the use of taking step? Is it as good as to say that Jawaharlal Nehru has become Indra. If somebody says like that, so they'll have to discard this thing also, and they have to discard that thing also. Because they do not believe in the next life.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- September 2, 1973, London|Room Conversation -- September 2, 1973, London]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Give me little water. When they come to logic, when they give logic. (laughter)</p>
<p>Guest (1): Prabhupāda, they don't want any.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That is the dog's obstinacy. That is the mentality.</p>
<p>Guest (1): They lost their intelligence, by this civilization or by this culture.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Adānta-gobhir, by losing that intelligence they are going to the hell. They do not know it. Adānta-gobhir viśatāṁ tamisram ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.30|SB 7.5.30]]). By uncontrolled senses... Because as soon as they come to spiritual life, they have to control senses. So that they do not like. That is very difficult.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Like he said: "I'm not prepared for that."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Actually they are not prepared. Then you suffer.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Then you try to be prepared.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They are not prepared because as soon as they understand that they are going to be one these varieties of life, they shudder. Therefore they do not like to understand this. If by logic I prove that you are going to be a dog next life, that is very difficult. Just like one astrologer has said that Jawaharlal Nehru has become a dog in Sweden. You know that?</p>
<p>Guest (1): No, I don't.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. In Delhi, one astrologer.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Delhi, some astrologer said?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Guest (1): What does the government of India say about that, any comment?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That I do not know.</p>
<p>Guest (1): Are they going to worship there? (laughter)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, they do not believe in astrology. Therefore they cannot take any step. They do not believe in next life, so they cannot take any step. And whether it is a fact or not, because they do not believe in next life, so what is the use of taking step? Is it as good as to say that Jawaharlal Nehru has become Indra. If somebody says like that, so they'll have to discard this thing also, and they have to discard that thing also. Because they do not believe in the next life. Simply by presenting Bhagavad-gītā as it is, we can defy all these rascals. Everything is there. Bhagavad-gītā was not presented as it is. That is the defect. The first thing is: tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 2.13|BG 2.13]]). Nobody understands. And they are students of Bhagavad-gītā. Even Gandhi, he did not understand, dehāntara-prāptiḥ. All these political leaders, they do not understand what is dehāntara-prāptiḥ. What do you think, Bhadra Kṛṣṇa? The dehāntara-prāptiḥ, do they understand?</p>
<p>Bhadra Kṛṣṇa: It's not something known.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. They do not understand.</p>
