“The Hari-bhakti-vilasa confirms that difficult things become easy to understand if one remembers Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and easy things become very difficult to understand if one forgets Him. We actually see that even those who are very great scientists in the eyes of the general public cannot understand the very simple idea that life comes from life, because they do not have the mercy of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. They defend the false understanding that life comes from matter, although they cannot prove that this is a fact. Modern civilization, therefore, progressing on the basis of this false scientific theory, is simply creating problems to be solved by the so-called scientists.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Chaitanya Charitamrita, Adi 14.1 Purport)
