Today's Thought:

Wet Cow Dung Laughs While Dry Dung Burns
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram, Austin, Texas USA

The proud, successful materialist laughs to see how much better off he is than those who are suffering in destitute impoverished conditions. But he does not realize that his successful position is only temporary. He is briefly enjoying the result of his previous pious activities while engaging in all sinful nonsense. He does not realize that as soon as his pious karma is exhausted he will be dragged down by the stringent laws of nature into a pitiable condition. In this connection there a Bengali proverb as follows:

ghute pore gobar hase

"When the dry cow dung is burning in the fire, the wet cow dung laughs."

The materialistic person is laughing like wet cow dung. He does not realize that soon he will be dry and he will be tossed into the fire.

Question: Are there Five or 118 Basic Elements?


Could you please highlight the relationship between the five material elements described in the Bhagavad-gita and the 118 elements listed in the chemistry periodic table?

Answer: 118 Elements  Composed of the 5 Elements


The 118 elements mentioned in the periodic table of modern day chemistry can be further sub-divided into the five basic elements described in the Bhagavad-gita: earth, water, air, fire, and ether. Material science has not yet discovered this, but those who are followers of Vedic science already know this.
