The mysterious midnight burglar...

There is a story of a village in Bengal which was harassed by a mysterious midnight burglar. Security measure were taken and and after a few nights, guard saw the thief sneaking into the window of a house. The alarm was raised, and the whole village assembled to outside to arrest the rascal. "Catch the thief! Catch the thief! Catch the thief," they cried.

But the clever thief rushed out frantically pointing to something behind the crowd. "There he goes!" he shouted. "He's getting away!" The villagers let the real thief lead on a chase after an imaginary thief. While they wandered in the darkness shouting, "Catch the thief!" the real thief gave them the slip.

Analogously, scientists have stolen the credit from Krishna's home, Krishna's creation - and they are leading us on a wild goose chase with so-called science, a science that never goes beyond the realms of this material world.
