Polytela Gloriosae Moth
When the evening’s multitude of varieties of insects gathered around Prabhupāda’s light, he would sometimes comment on how they were such wonderful creations of God. “This little insect,” he said one evening, “is both pilot and flying machine in one. Here there are hundreds of insects flying together, and yet there are no collisions. That is God’s arrangement. They never crash, because the Supersoul is present – one in every heart. Let the material scientists manufacture such a wonderful machine with a built-in pilot that will not crash. When one man flies and then there are two planes, they have to be very careful.”

“But these insects,” Prabhupāda continued, “are not perfect. They are flying to the light. That also means they are attracted to death. So they are just like the materialists. The materialists are building skyscrapers, yet they don’t know what will happen at death. Henry Ford and other big capitalists had to die. But so many others are trying to become just like them. They do not know it means their death also. They are like these small insects. In the morning we simply find heaps of them, all dead.”
