The Yamadūtas, they very politely submitted. They could&#10;understand immediately that these persons so nicely decorated, four hands,&#10;looking very youthful, all the good qualities. . . So with due submission, they&#10;said that "You look so nice, gentle. Why you are interfering with our&#10;duties?" Kim arthaṁ dharma-pālasya kiṅkarān no niṣedhatha ([[Vanisource:SB 6.1.34-36|SB 6.1.36]]).&#10;So they accepted the submission. Very humbly they submitted, with great&#10;respect. Therefore they were smiling. And the word is used here, tān&#10;pratyūcuḥ prahasya idam. When there is argument, dealing, if the words are&#10;exchanged very politely, so things go on nicely. So prahasya. Prahasya,&#10;now they are challenging, the Viṣṇudūta, that "You are claiming to become&#10;the servants of Yamarāja, and he is Dharmarāja, he is authority, and how is&#10;that you do not know whom to arrest and whom not to arrest? This man is now&#10;free from all sinful reaction. How is that you are claiming to be servant of&#10;Yamarāja, Dharmarāja, and do not know?" Therefore they were smiling.
&#10;&#10;
So their challenge was that "You are claiming to be&#10;servants of Yamarāja, but we are doubting whether you are bona fide servants of&#10;Yamarāja. Otherwise why you are committing this mistake?" So this&#10;indicates the servant should be as good as the master. That is servant. Because&#10;sometimes servants may be challenged. So that is the qualification of Kṛṣṇa's&#10;servant. Kṛṣṇa's servant must be always equipped, because they have to meet so&#10;many opposing elements, Kṛṣṇa's the. . . Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya&#10;ca duṣkṛtām ([[Vanisource:BG 4.8 (1972)|BG 4.8]]). There are so many. . . Practically the whole&#10;material world is full of duṣkṛtām. They want to create God. They&#10;don't want to become servant of God. That is their challenge. Therefore, anyone&#10;who is claiming to become servant of God, Kṛṣṇa, he must be well equipped to&#10;meet the challenging spirit of others. Prahasya idaṁ megha-nirhrādayā&#10;girā. Very gravely enquired from them. What is that enquiry? They&#10;said, śrī-viṣṇudūtā ūcuḥ. The Viṣṇudūta replied. Their submission&#10;was, "Sir, you are so nice gentlemen. You appear to be coming from the&#10;very elevated planets, and why you are interfering?"
&#10;&#10;
So they, with very grave voice and smiling, challenging&#10;them. What is that?
&#10;&#10;
yūyaṁ vai dharma-rājasya
&#10;&#10;
yadi nirdeśa-kāriṇaḥ
&#10;&#10;
brūta dharmasya nas tattvaṁ
&#10;&#10;
yac cādharmasya lakṣaṇam
&#10;&#10;
([[Vanisource:SB 6.1.38|SB 6.1.38]])
&#10;&#10;
"So if you are actually servant of Dharmarāja, then you&#10;must know what is dharma and what is adharma."&#10;Yūyaṁ vai dharma-rājasya yadi nirdeśa-kāriṇaḥ. "That will be your bona&#10;fide representation. You cannot do any mistake if you are servant of&#10;Dharmarāja." Dharmarāja means. . . Here there are so many living entities,&#10;of course, in the human society. I have explained many times, dharma,&#10;religious system, is in the human society, not in the animal society. The&#10;animals does not. . . They have no knowledge; neither they have capacity to&#10;distinguish what is dharma, what is adharma. Their&#10;business is simply eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That's all. It is&#10;the human society, another extra, not only simply eating, sleeping, mating.&#10;That is required, because we have got this body. But we have got extra&#10;intelligence. Why this extra intelligence? That is for understanding dharma,&#10;religion.
&#10;&#10;
But unfortunately, the modern rascal society, they utilizing&#10;that extra intelligence than the cats and dog for the same purpose:&#10;eating, sleeping, mating and defending. That is the defect of the modern&#10;civilization. In spite of advancement of education, scientific knowledge,&#10;technical knowledge, this knowledge, that knowledge, they remain the same cats&#10;and dogs. This is the defect. Therefore people are dissatisfied, disappointed.&#10;God has given him extra intelligence for understanding God, but they&#10;are being misled: "There is no God. You utilize it for your sense&#10;gratification." This is education. Extra. . . Therefore they are thinking,&#10;"The dog is eating on the street. We are eating in a very good hotel, nice&#10;table, nice dishes. This is advancement of life." But they do not think&#10;that after all, the dog is eating, you are also eating. You may be a better&#10;dog, that's all. So what is your extra business? So a dog is eating only flesh,&#10;or meat, because God has ordained. But you are ordained to eat fruits, flowers,&#10;nice grain, milk preparation, but you, because you are dog, you are eating&#10;meat. The extra intelligence that. . . Because you have got extra&#10;intelligence, you should utilize the food for you. Tena tyaktena&#10;bhuñjīthā mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam ([[Vanisource:ISO 1 (1974)|ISO 1]]).&#10;The Upaniṣad, Vedas, says, "What you are ordained&#10;to take or accept. . . Everything belongs to God, but He has given allotment:&#10;'You use like this. You use like this.' " So if you imitate dog instead of&#10;human being. . . You are advanced human being. Why should you eat like dog or&#10;the uncivilized man? The uncivilized man in the jungle, he does not know how to&#10;produce grain, how to prepare many nice preparation. He does not know. But you&#10;are civilized man. Why you should eat like dogs and tigers? This is misuse of&#10;intelligence.
&#10;&#10;
So therefore, as they are challenging, that first of all,&#10;"You are claiming to be servant of Dharmarāja, so let us know what do you&#10;know about dharma." So similarly, we should also challenge,&#10;"If you are human being, you must know how to live like human being.&#10;Otherwise you are animal. If you eat like animal, sleep like animal and have&#10;sex like animal and defend like animal, then you are animal." They say&#10;that "It is very good to become dog because there is no restriction of sex&#10;life. We can have it on the street." They think like that. "This is&#10;advancement." The animals wander naked, so man is also trying to become&#10;naked, nudyism. This is life. So their extra intelligence is being&#10;used like that—very, very abominable condition of the human society. You are&#10;the only hope to save them. Otherwise it is doomed.
