A goat will eat anything and a madman will say anything!

Satsvarupa Dasa Goswami: On his morning walk, Srila Prabhupada said the comet which is in the sky now is a bad sign. He was asked if it is a symptom of catastrophe or whether it was bringing disaster. He said it was bringing catastrophe, just as if a policeman were to come among us searching for someone. He said it is a sign of great catastrophe. He said in 1914 when he saw a small comet, World War I followed. He said it is a planet like others, with living entities on it. When told it had a tail emitting gas, he asked, Who is supplying the gas? When told that the scientists are excited about the comet because they think it is made of primordial substance and will give us a clue to the origin of the universe, he said there is an Indian saying, 'A goat will eat anything and a madman will say anything.'
