Prabhupada's 1 and 0 logic

krishnadasa · September 11, 2005

Srila prabhupada in one of his lectures gave a very beutiful 1 and 0 loigc for the the Presence of God and spiritual consicousness.

he says

America is advancing very rapidly on the material platform, day by day news companies , new technologies are coming up, every thing is on the rise but materially , everything is just like addition of another Zero to the already existing zero, eg: first you have Car one zero , 0 then comes aeroplane two zeros 00 but the value still remains Zero , then comes the space exploration another zero 000 but still the value is zero.

what needs to be brought with all these is God consciousnes or Krishna consciousness, i.e a just number 1 before the zero and now if evyrtime we increase one zero eg. 10 and then 100 and 10000 and so on eveytime the value become 10 fold , so he says the material advancement with the god consciousness is required then the advance ment will be a nice one and USA can become a world leader and can lead the world very nicely. whats needed is just 1 (Krihsna) infront of all zeros (material advancement)

To add on to this this beutiful philosophy can even be applied to our body.

eg: if we just take one by one our body parts , like hands , legs , head, ears and for that matter till the intelligence all are just addition of one more zeros to the already existing zeros , which dont yieled any value. But now if add an element of spirituality to it i.e Soul the real dweller the whole equation becomes a valuable with a 1 infront of all , and thus become a completely functional body ofcourse with a driver supersoul within who is different of the soul
