He notes that eating, sleeping, sex life, and defense are the four bodily necessities shared with animals, while the special feature of a human being is the intelligence to consider what kind of body one will receive next. Prabhupada argues that nature is a machine, and since no machine works without an operator, there must be a supreme operator, God. He cites Krsna's own evidence in the Bhagavad-gita, including the story of the seven-year-old Lord lifting a mountain on His finger against gravity, and urges taking perfect knowledge from the supreme authority as a child accepts a warning not to touch fire. He invites the audience to fully utilize 'our Melbourne center,' reading books and arguing with full knowledge, or simply chanting Hare Krsna; both ways are allowed. The session includes questions and answers: on whether Brahma's swan is literal or symbolic, Prabhupada says it is real, and that one should not calculate Vedic facts by teeny human experience, illustrating with the Bhagavad-gita's statement that one day of Brahma equals four million three hundred thousand years multiplied by a thousand. Asked whether lifetimes of sinful reactions can be counteracted in one lifetime, he quotes Krsna's assurance that full surrender, thinking of Him, becoming His devotee, worshipping Him, and offering respect, gives immediate relief from all sins. He concludes with Rishabhadeva's instruction that life should not be wasted like dogs and hogs but utilized for tapasya, the purification of our existence.
