1. In spite of all our material comforts and scientific advancements

    The atheists say that if we want to be happy we should get money so that we can have more food and material pleasures. However, in spite of all our material comforts and scientific advancements, we have not been able to stop the miseries of birth, death, old age, and disease.

    Srila Prabhupada, Quoted in Back to Godhead Magazine #02, November 12, 1966
