Conversations and Morning Walks

1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

That is not difficult. In the same tree, the same semen.
Morning Walk -- August 28, 1975, Vrndavana:

Dhanañjaya: Our temple is behind the trees. (break) Two trees in one. One tree is growing out of the other tree.

Prabhupāda: Oh. Why they have become two? Not from sentiment, but scientific?

Dhanañjaya: The seed must have been deposited in the bark and then taken root.

Prabhupāda: Because they are different seed, different tree.

Brahmānanda: Individual.

Prabhupāda: Huh? Individual. And the specific individuality is there in the seed. Even if you grow together they will come differently.

Brahmānanda: Same earth is there, same water, everything same. But the seed is different.

Prabhupāda: But they will say "by chance." Chance. (aside:) Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Harikeśa: There is also that phenomenon, they say, "identical twins." When two brothers are born together they say "identical twins."

Dhanañjaya: Why does that happen, if there are two brothers who are identically looking the same in features?

Prabhupāda: That is not difficult. In the same tree, the same semen.

Dhanañjaya: Because the living entity had the same desire? Two living entities having the same desire for the same body?

Prabhupāda: Hm. (Hindi) They are going to take water from Yamunā or some from well?

Dhanañjaya: From a well. There's just a well around the corner.

Prabhupāda: Oh. They are all going to Yamunā. (break)

Dhanañjaya: That lady was from Manipur.

Harikeśa: Viśvambhara lives here. (break)

Prabhupāda: ...can... Very nice blackboard.

Brahmānanda: Hut! Hut!

Prabhupāda: No, just... Why it is thrown away?

Viśāla: Jaya Prabhupāda.

Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa. (end)
