"Not only that, in that seed there will be millions of fruits, and each fruit there will be millions of seeds, and each seed contains again millions of trees. Where is your science?"
Prabhupada, December 2, 1973, Los Angeles: […] Just like they see the tree, but what do they understand about the seed? What do they understand? The tree is coming from the seed, but what do they understand about the seed? They see the tree, that’s all. Like a child sees the tree and “Oh, it is a big tree.” But intelligent man sees the seed.
Svarupa Damodara: They also see that the original seed the embryo is, remains dormant.
Prabhupada: That’s all right. How it is made? That they do not know, how subtle things are being done. That is their ignorance. They do not know subtle things. Simply gross manifestation attracts their attention. That’s all. Jada-drsti. It is called jada-drsti, material vision. No sukha-drsti. Every, every field, they have no finer introspection. Simply gross.
They deal with gross things. Just like the same example: Here is a tree, but it is a fact, this tree has grown from a small seed. So what do they know about the seed, how it is manufactured, how it has got the potency of bringing out such a big tree? Not only that, in that seed there will be millions of fruits, and each fruit there will be millions of seeds, and each seed contains again millions of trees. Where is your science? Where is that potency? Full Conversation
