Be Careful In This Age Of Hypocrisy - Prabhupada 0349

661204 - Lecture CC Madhya 20.124-125 - New York

Swāmījī's teaching, "Don't smoke. Don't take tea. Don't have illicit connection with women. Be upright. Be devotee," "Oh, Swāmījī's dangerous." And if somebody teaches, "My dear boys, take LSD, go to hell, and become mad. Go to the lunatic asylum," "Oh, that is . . ." What can be done? This is the situation.

So we are situated in a society of the lowest of the mankind. Always remember this, that we are situated in a civilization which is the lowest of the mankind. Not only I am speaking of your United States, all over the world. Even India, where so much culture was made for understanding God, this foolish government, they're also teaching this thing. You see? So this is the, I mean to say, age. Don't think that I am particularly criticizing some country or community. This is the age, Kali. It is called Kali. Hypocrisy, simply hypocrisy. Kali means full of hypocrisy. So we have to be very careful.
