1. The benefit of modern education

    Prabhupada: Gurukrpa Maharaja, what is the benefit of this modern education?

    Gurukrpa: No benefit. It makes them an ass.

    Prabhupada: Making them demons, that's all.

    Gurukrpa: They become puffed-up, thinking they know something. They don't know anything.

    Prabhupada: Not only that, modern educated youths, they are not inclined to come to the farm. So they're giving up their own father's property, farm. They do not come back from city. The farmers' children go to cities for education, and after so-called education the rascals do not come. Here also and in your country also, America and… They want city life and enjoy restaurant and prostitute.
