1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

Religion nowadays has degenerated so that people more or less accept it just as some moral code now, because there's no knowledge of God.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: That was by a Muslim who became Vaiṣṇava? Once you quoted that, I think that verse, in London.

Prabhupāda: (Prabhupāda is being massaged) That is another, similar verse. Yes, you quoted me. And there is another verse by Bilvamaṅgala, Bilvamaṅgala's Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta. The Muslim, he said, "I was searching after the Param Brahman, and now I see here He is playing with the gopīs." What they will speculate? Everything is there in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Where this picture is given?

Pradyumna: Which book is it in?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: It was on the cover of one Back to Godhead magazine.

Hari-śauri: But it's in one of the books.

Pradyumna: Lord Caitanya did the same thing. Maybe in... Because He did the same thing, and then it was compared Kṛṣṇa also had done.

(long pause)

Prabhupāda: If there is no such acceptance, where is religion?

Hari-śauri: It just becomes a show. Religion nowadays has degenerated so that people more or less accept it just as some moral code now, because there's no knowledge of God.

Prabhupāda: So where is that morality?

Hari-śauri: (laughs) There's no morality either.

Prabhupāda: Woman-hunting, drinking, meat-eating, is that morality?

Hari-śauri: No. (end)
