Sadaputa, July 3, 1976, Washington, D.C.: When they look at it under a microscope, they can see that this bacterium has a reversible motor built into it, and this motor spins a spiral flagellum, and by spinning it it propels the bacteria through the water, just like a submarine. So this very sophisticated motor is built into the wall of the bacterium.
Prabhupada: Dictaphone, so many complicated parts, then it is working.
Pusta Krishna: And if one slight thing is off..
Prabhupada: Immediately, work stopped.
Hari-sauri: Yes, he made that point, in that he said that in the development of a motor, he said the whole thing has to be there, the whole idea has to be there to start with, to make the motor and to make it work, then it works.
