Especially in India, this ideal life of human society should be inaugurated. We should not imitate the Western people, who are now dwindling. Their material civilization is no longer giving them happiness. That is a fact. They are seeking after athātho brahma-jijñāsā. They are now seeking after inquiring about Brahman. Therefore you find so many Europeans and Americans, they have taken to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement because they are now inquisitive—inquisitive: "What is next?" Why . . . why we are following them, how to make machine and skyscraper building? They are coming to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

In the human society there must be four divisions—the brāhmaṇa, the kṣatriya, the vaiśya and the śūdra—according to the quality. The most intelligent class of men, they should become brāhmaṇas. Satya, śamaḥ, damaḥ, titikṣā, ārjavam, jñānaṁ vijñānam āstikyaṁ brahma-karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.42). So the next-intelligent class of men should become the administrators, and the next-intelligent class men should be the productive class, vaiśyas.

(BG 18.44)

Everything is there. And especially in India, this ideal life of human society should be inaugurated. We should not imitate the Western people, who are now dwindling. Their material civilization is no longer giving them happiness. That is a fact. They are seeking after athātho brahma-jijñāsā. They are now seeking after inquiring about Brahman. Therefore you find so many Europeans and Americans, they have taken to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement because they are now inquisitive—inquisitive: "What is next?" Why . . . why we are following them, how to make machine and skyscraper building? They are coming to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So long, long before, Ṛṣabhadeva advised, "My dear sons, this body should not be misused working whole day and night for sense gratification, because that is the business of the hogs and dogs." Here it is clearly said, kaṣṭān kāmān arhate viḍ-bhujāṁ ye. Viḍ-bhujāṁ. You have seen. In our India we see viḍ-bhujāṁ. Viḍ-bhujāṁ means stool-eater, the pigs. They are seeking after stool, whole day and night, and they are eating. And after eating stool . . . the stool is very substantial food. According to chemical examination, it contains all the hypophosphites, because the essence of the foodstuff we have taken, that is stool. So anyone, if one can eat; but we can see that the hogs, they become very fatty, because it contains fat. Sometimes in the wartime, I learned that the German people are taking, extracting, fat from stool. So there is enough fat. The result is they become very much sexually inclined. And they have no distinction how to enjoy sex life. Never mind it is mother or sister or daughter, it doesn't matter. That is hog's life.
