Disciple: Srila Prabhupada, the
universities nowadays don’t teach any courses in the
nature of the soul.
Srila Prabhupada: Therefore, the young
person says, “What is the wrong if I become a
dog?” Because there is no education. He does not know
the difference between the dog and the human being. Therefore,
he says, “What is the wrong if I become a dog? I will
get more facility for sex without any criminal charges.”
This is the advancement of education.
Dr. Mize: How does the mind, then, come to
know that there is a soul?
Srila Prabhupada: You have to be educated.
How are these people, my students, convinced about the soul?
They have been educated by knowledge and by practice.
Everything has to be learned by being properly educated. And
therefore, the Vedic injunction is tad-
vijnanartham—”In order to know that
science”—sa gurum
evabhigacchet—”you must go to a guru, a
teacher.” So the answer is that you must go to the
teacher who can teach you how the soul is there.
