"Now produce life. Where is that science? Simply talking. 'Yes, we shall do. We are trying.' Nonsense, trying. What is the use of trying? It is already there. God sent egg through the chicken; it will produce life.
“So why you are wasting your time in this way? Rather, try to understand the person who has got such a brain that within this chemical composition there is life.
“You cannot do it; therefore you are inferior. Somebody has done it. Even if you say, 'Nature has done it,' nature is then powerful. You are not even to the level of nature, what to speak of God.
“Nature is only one of the energies of God. You cannot understand even the energy. How you will understand the energetic?"
"It's difficult to understand how they could possibly say that there's no intelligence," I observed.
"Therefore we say these are all rascals," Prabhupāda said with finality. "Therefore generally I say this is a very strong word, but that is the only word to be used for them—rascals, simply rascals.
“We have no business with them that we have to flatter. 'No, no, sir,' you have to be saying 'a great scientist.'
“We say, 'You are rascals.' That's all. Straight, blunt. Four annas worth!"

Dasa Tamohara
We are insignificant to Godhead, so any position we occupy involving more than minimum necessary prestige is pro-maya. Ex; Guru. We don't wish to occupy any position in which we exaltedly lord it over others; that is very dangerous. We also don't wish to be involved with any kind of material karma, good, bad, or ugly. Good association is therefore crucial, as no one is an island. Hare Krsna.
