Artificial intelligence 2.

 




„Prabhupāda: But they unnecessarily spending money. So they have spent unnecessarily for the moon expedition. Money, if you do not know, you’ll spend it for unnecessary purpose. That is they are doing. So give them brain, and this money can be spent for Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They have got money. Why they are trying to manufacture artificial intelligence? What is the purpose?

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They want to be able to imitate God.

Prabhupāda: Then God is there. [laughs] You have to accept. If you want to imitate God, then God is there. That is our propaganda, not this.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: If they say artificial intelligence, it means that there is a real intelligence. And if they’re trying to make artificial intelligence, someone must have made real intelligence.

Prabhupāda: Real intelligence you see in the flower, how intelligently colorful it is made. Every nature study. Study this machine, how intelligent. And just the hand, coming up, this finger, because we have to capture something, the nail is required. If it would have been all skin, you could not capture. How… And every machine is coming automatically. You study your body. And if the same machine, you produce a machine like that, automatically coming out, one thing, male machine, one female machine, and they’ll bring another machine. Where is that thing? And here God has made such a nice machine. He says, bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni yantrārūḍhāni [Bg. 18.61]. That is also not made by God. It is made by God’s agent, māyā. Now see how God is intelligent. God’s servant māyā, God says, “Give him a machine like that.” Immediately she gives, supplies. Clearly says, bhrāmayan sar… “He wants to still travel in this material world, bhrāmayan. He wants to go there. Then all right, give him a machine.” He’s so kind. He’s sitting within your heart. You want to do something. And He’s so kind, because you are son, beloved, He says, “These are not required. Better come back. Live peacefully.” You’ll not hear: “No. I…” Just like naughty child. “All right, Māyā, give him. Give him.” This is meaning.”

(Room Conversation, 18 February 1977, Māyāpur)

But how this intelligence being used?

Image
  „You have got this human form of body, the best body. That is the instruction of all Vedic literature, simply stressing. But what is this material civilization? Simply working like cats and dogs. The same eating, sleeping, sex intercourse and defending. There are so many buildings in your city, Paris. Where is the culture to make the human life perfect? You have got very nice building. There is intelligence. So many nice buildings. People come to see the building. But that is not all. Simply if you utilize your intelligence... Certainly there is intelligence. But if you use your intelligence for the simply material activities, then you are not intelligent. You are a fool.   (Lecture on SB 2.1.6 -- Paris, June 14, 1974)   „Similarly, if you keep yourself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, there is no chance of coming māyā and attack you. No. That is not possible. But if you forget Kṛṣṇa, then māyā immediately will catch you. Just like side by side there is darkness and light...

Sense gratification after death?

Image
„Human activities diseased by a tendency toward sense gratification have been regulated in the Vedas under the principles of salvation. This system employs religion, economic development, sense gratification and salvation, but at the present moment people have no interest in religion or salvation. They have only one aim in life-sense gratification-and in order to achieve this end they make plans for economic development. Misguided men think that religion should be maintained because it contributes to economic development, which is required for sense gratification. Thus in order to guarantee further sense gratification after death, in heaven, there is some system of religious observance. But this is not the purpose of religion. The path of religion is actually meant for self-realization, and economic development is required just to maintain the body in a sound, healthy condition. A man should lead a healthy life with a sound mind just to realize vidya, true knowledge,...

Material body and spiritual body 2.

Image
  „If you want actual peace, ātmā, suprasīdati, then you have to accept paro dharma. Para means supreme or superior. There are two kinds of dharmas: parā and aparā. Aparā means this material world. Bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca (BG 7.4). There are two natures: one spiritual nature and one material nature. People do not understand what is spiritual nature. But Kṛṣṇa explains very nicely, and one can understand very easily what is spiritual nature and what is material nature. In the Bhagavad-gītā, the matter, five elements—earth, water, air, fire, sky, mind, intelligence, ego—these are material nature. Prakṛti me bhinnā aṣṭadhā. Apareyam. Then Kṛṣṇa says this is aparā. Aparā means inferior. Bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ. The modern scientist or philosophers, they are engaged in studying this inferior nature. They have no information of the superior nature. But Kṛṣṇa says that these five elements . . . eight elements: five gross and three subtle. The mind is also materi...
