The aim of our education should be, whatever education we might have got, we must satisfy the Lord by such education. That is the perfection of life. I have therefore asked our chemist friend, Dr. Swarupa Damodara das Brahmacari to refute the theory that life comes out of matter. This is not the fact, rather, matter comes out of life. We have discussed this point very broadly and Swarupa Damodara is convinced that everything comes from life, Krishna—’aham sarvasya prabhavo/ mattah sarvam pravartate’. [Bg. 10.8]. So, I’ve asked Swarupa Damodara to invite Ramananda Rao to come and join him to present this revolutionary theory to the learned advanced scientists. We know it certainly that matter comes out of life. Simply we have to present this thesis in chemical, technological words. Svarupa Damodara has already written one small booklet, “Krsna Consciousness, Purely on a Scientific Basis.” So this is the business of big, big, chemists and physicists to present the real facts in Krsna Consciousness. Then such education is valid.
