So that highest position we are giving by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We are not training them to be first-class fool, second-class fool, third-class . . . no. First-class intelligent. Kṛṣṇa yei bhaje sei baḍa catura. Without being first-class intelligent man, nobody can take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Haṁsadūta: . . . there, on the sun.

Prabhupāda: So suppose if your heat increases, what happens to you?

Haṁsadūta: I get sick.

Prabhupāda: That's all. (break) . . . samudvigna, always full of anxiety. Sadā samudvigna-dhiyām. Intelligence is always concerned, "Enemy may not come. Let me discover this, discover this atom bomb. This will save me. This will save me." This is their position. Sadā samudvigna-dhiyām asad-grahāt (SB 7.5.5). Why this anxiety? Because they have accepted something false as truth. Asad-grahāt. They have accepted sense gratification is the truth. Indriyāṇi parāṇy āhuḥ. Indriyāṇi means senses; parā, supreme. This is supreme. And then, if somebody is little advanced, indriyebhyaḥ paraṁ manaḥ. Then the mental speculators, psychologists, philosophers, another, better class of rascals . . . (laughter) This is the third-class rascal, and they are second-class rascal. Indriyāṇi parāṇy āhur indriyebhyaḥ paraṁ manaḥ, manasas tu parā buddhiḥ (BG 3.42). Then the intelligent class. They consider, "What is this nonsense? They are all suffering here." In this way, one who becomes actually intelligent, wise, then he understands, "Kṛṣṇa is everything." Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante jñānavān māṁ prapadyate (BG 7.19).

So that highest position we are giving by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We are not training them to be first-class fool, second-class fool, third-class . . . no. First-class intelligent. Kṛṣṇa yei bhaje sei baḍa catura. Without being first-class intelligent man, nobody can take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness (break) . . . drink everything. And why they fight? What is the cause? Suppose father gives all necessities of life to the children. Why they should fight? Simply ignorance and foolishness. That's all. Where is the cause of fighting? Just like Pāṇḍavas, to settle up their misunderstanding, Kṛṣṇa said: "All right, they are kṣatriyas. They cannot take up the occupation of vaiśya or śūdra. Give them five villages so that they'll be happy. They'll rule over, each one, on the village." "No, Sir. Not a piece of land holding the tip of the needle can be spared without fighting." This is the world. Huh? The German, German war, First World War, what is the cause? The cause was that the Britishers will not allow the Germans to trade all over the world. They captured everything. And they'll purchase from Germany goods and cheat people . . .

Haṁsadūta: And sell . . .

Prabhupāda: . . ."Made in London," and sell it fifteen times higher than the German. This was their business. And that was the cause of . . . is it not? Those who have studied history, this is the cause. So all this nonsense thing can be solved if we take it, "This is Kṛṣṇa's property." And if you know something, you are manufac . . . that's all right; you do it. I do something else. Or even if I do it, where is the cause of fighting? Because they do not know what is Kṛṣṇa?
