<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Interview with Mike Darby -- June 30, 1976, Wheeling, W. Virginia|Interview with Mike Darby -- June 30, 1976, Wheeling, W. Virginia]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Darby: These scientists think about making life with chemicals, yet none of them have even been able to begin their experiments.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I have therefore said, "Make a small egg, then talk of big, big things."</p>
<p>Darby: They can make one chemical which leaves the life.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not only that: if you are a sane man, you analyze your body. Now find out where is life. Beginning analysis is the breathing. You take... Now a man is dead. Somebody says, "Now, because his breathing is stopped, therefore he is dead." So what is this breathing? It is simply a little air. So put some machine, and the air may come and go and give him life. Take anything, breathing, then you take blood, then you take skin, then you take muscle, then you take bone, then take your stool, urine, find out life. Is it possible? Then why do you say that life is combination of chemicals? You take this blood, urine and stool, what is called, bone and muscle and air, what is combination, and produce another man. So they are talking this nonsense, and nonsense people are accepting. And they are being paid for, high salary, for talking this nonsense at the cost of the taxpayer.</p>
<p>Darby: They get big profit, and no one else does.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And they are going to the moon planet, Mars planet, and bring some dust.</p>
<p>Darby: They try to keep the people busy by showing them other planets.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Busy means they can show all these bluff busy programs to the rascals, not to the sane man.</p>
<p>Darby: Could you tell us a little about your spiritual master's life? I've never heard anything.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This is spiritual master, one who is representative of God. And one who speaks what God has said, then he's spiritual master.</p>
<p>Darby: But I have never heard anything of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta, and I wondered if you would tell me a little bit about him, if you would.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What shall I say? He was my spiritual master, and whatever he taught, we are speaking, that's all. We don't talk any nonsense.</p>
<p>Darby: Yes. That's all I have to ask you. Thank you for allowing me your time.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Darby: I've waited very long to see you.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Thank you for your kindness. (end)</p>
