750518mw.per Conversations Prabhupada: Na te viduh svartha-gatim. Their aim of life is God realization, but they do not know that. And why they do not know that? Bahir-artha-maninah: "They are thinking by these external features of the material nature they will be happy." That is very quite visible in the western countries. They are thinking that by constructing big, big, high skyscraper building their civilization is advancing, or machine, or technology. But they do not know this is not the aim of life. Real aim of life--to understand God. And na te viduh svartha-gatim hi visnum durasaya. Durasaya means something, utopian hope, which will be never fulfilled. Durasaya ye bahir-artha-maninah.Piling up simply bricks and stone, they are thinking, "In this way we shall be happy." That is durasaya. That is never to be fulfilled. And then how this society is being led? Andha. The leader is a blind man. The so-called scientists, technologists, philosophers, others, they do not know what is the aim of life. He is a blind man, and he is trying to lead other blind men. This is the position. So if a blind man tries to lead other blind men, what benefit they will get?
