Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

We don't say unreal. It is temporary. But "good and bad," that is our creation. There is nothing good here. Because there is death, then where is good? If, after all your attempts, you die, then where is the good? So "good and bad," that is imagination. There is nothing good; everything is bad here.
Lecture on BG 2.17 -- (with Spanish translator) -- Mexico, February 17, 1975:

Hanumān: How is that, that this world is unreal? Why do we say that there is good thing and bad thing in the world?

Prabhupāda: We don't say unreal. It is temporary. But "good and bad," that is our creation. There is nothing good here. Because there is death, then where is good? If, after all your attempts, you die, then where is the good? So "good and bad," that is imagination. There is nothing good; everything is bad here. (end)
