U
- Unfortunately, because people in Kali-yuga are mandah, all bad, and sumanda-matayah, misled by false conceptions of life, they are killing cows in the thousands

- We are thinking that the energy is hot or cold, good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant, but in fact the energy is the same

- When there is a bad bargain, so intelligent man makes the best use, "All right, how it can be used for the best purpose?" That is wanted

- Who is good? (laughs) Everyone is good; I am bad
- Why government is maintaining the police force, the military force? It is required for keeping law and order. So violence is bad, that's all right; but sometimes it is required
