Just see how foolish.

Laksmi Nrsimhadev : Another time we were walking in Central Park with Srila Prabhupada and we came up to an art museum where there was an abstract sculpture. The devotees liked to engage Prabhupada in conversation so one of the devotees said to Srila Prabhupada, "See Srila Prabhupada, abstract art. This is their attempt at formlessness." Prabhupada said, "But they are using form to get formlessness. Just see how foolish." They were using steel girders that they twisted up to make something undecipherable in the name of art. Prabhupada made that astute observation; "They want formlessness, they want abstract, but they are using form to make formlessness. Just see how foolish."
