We still see some devotees not taking very seriously the precautions to avoid infection, as if they were offering "a challenge to the physical laws." Let's all remember what the Founder-Acarya told Bob Cohen in Mayapur, on 28 Feb 1972, within the talks that became the book Perfect Questions, Perfect Answers: "So long you are in the material world, what is physical law, you cannot neglect that. Just like if you go to a jungle, there is tiger. It is known that it will attack you. Why should you voluntarily go and be attacked? It is not that a devotee should take physical risk so long he has got some physical body. It is not a challenge to the physical laws: 'Oh, I have become a devotee. I challenge everything.' That is foolishness."
