Prabhupāda: No, two thousand years passed, but you could&#10;not accept the instruction of Lord Jesus Christ. And you are all claiming that&#10;you are Christian. When did you accept Christianity? That is my question.&#10;Because you have disobeyed the order of Christ. So when did you accept? Two&#10;thousand years passed. Hmm? Who will answer this?
&#10;&#10;
Jayadharma: Never.
&#10;&#10;
Prabhupāda: Hmm?
&#10;&#10;
Jayadharma: They never accepted.
&#10;&#10;
Prabhupāda: Then?
&#10;&#10;
Carol Cameron: Hmm. What is the main part of your&#10;philosophy? Is it based on the Vedāntist school?
&#10;&#10;
Prabhupāda: No. This is no question of philosophy. You&#10;could not accept the simple instruction. Then where is the question of&#10;philosophy?
&#10;&#10;
Carol Cameron: The question of love.
&#10;&#10;
Prabhupāda: Yes. You cannot understand the principles of&#10;life and morality, Jesus Christ's instruction that, "Thou shall not&#10;kill." So how you become philosopher?
&#10;&#10;
Carol Cameron: How is this love to be understood? Between&#10;people, or through inner sort of communication with a higher self?
&#10;&#10;
Gaṇeśa: Śrīla Prabhupāda said that you could not&#10;understand the simple instruction, so where is the question of understanding&#10;philosophy? Not love. Philosophy.
&#10;&#10;
Prabhupāda: You have no love, because you are accustomed&#10;to kill. Philosophy begins when you know that everyone is part and parcel of God,&#10;and everyone should be given the full facilities to live without injuring&#10;anyone for one's personal benefit. Paṇḍitaḥ sama-darśinaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 5.18 (1972)|BG&#10;5.18]]). A paṇḍita, philosopher, means learned scholar. Not fools and&#10;rascals can become philosopher. Those who are learned scholar, thoughtful, they&#10;can become philosopher. But if one has no knowledge how to behave with other&#10;living entities, what is the meaning of becoming a philosopher?
&#10;&#10;
Carol Cameron: How would you go about teaching this idea&#10;of love? How does one . . .
&#10;&#10;
Prabhupāda: Love means that I want to eat something, and&#10;if I love somebody, then I will see that my beloved also eats. If you take&#10;something from your beloved . . . naturally the lovers present things. Just a&#10;boy loves a girl, he presents something to the girl. So if you accept&#10;presentation by others, we should give him also something. And if I have got&#10;some confidential things, I must disclose it to the lover, and the lover is&#10;also expected he should not keep anything confidential. He should disclose it.&#10;These are the six reciprocal exchange between the lover and the beloved. If I&#10;love you, because you are beautiful, for my sense gratification, but I keep&#10;everything secret, that is not love. That is sense gratification, lust. These&#10;are the signs of love.

&#10;&#10;
Prīti means love. These are the symptoms. Give and take;&#10;eat and give to eat; open you mind, and know the other party's mind also. This&#10;is love. The more you increase the six kinds of exchange, there is increase in&#10;the love, yes.
&#10;&#10;
Carol Cameron: Do you think a man who says he loves God&#10;should withdraw from the world, say into a community or something like that?
&#10;&#10;
Prabhupāda: First of all between two. Then you can expand&#10;it. First the love between . . . love means there are two, the lover and the&#10;beloved. So the transaction begins between the two, then it expands.
