They are not sorry that "Why so much big hospital? Why so much big prison house?" The number of prisoners are increased. So rascals are there in . . . engaged in welfare activities. You see? And they are in charge of welfare activities. I do not wish to criticize, but there are so many things, simply rascaldom—without Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Prabhupāda: Yes. It is simply want of consciousness. Just like a boy is not educated. He is given education just to give a consciousness, "This is this. This is this." That's all. So therefore the whole movement should be to change the consciousness. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Yes.

Revatīnandana: "Therefore to act to revive this consciousness within the entire human society is the highest welfare work."

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Revatīnandana: "One cannot be engaged in first-class welfare work without being liberated in the Supreme. A Kṛṣṇa conscious person has no doubt about the supremacy of Kṛṣṇa. He has no doubt because he is completely freed from all sins. This is the state of divine love."

"A person engaged only in administering to the physical welfare of human society cannot factually help anyone. Temporary relief of the external body and the mind of the living entity is not satisfactory. The real cause of his difficulties . . ."

Prabhupāda: Just like in New York I have seen there is mental hospital, big mental hospital. What is that?

Devotee: Bellevue.

Prabhupāda: Bellevue. Simply building is increasing. Every year the building is increasing. What is that? The number of lunatic persons are increasing. You see? But they are under welfare activities. But they do not see that, "How much welfare I am doing? Why the patients are increasing?" You see? "Oh, we have increased the hospital." That means you increase the disease. They are very much proud of having a big hospital. (laughter) (laughs) Just see the ignorance. They are not sorry that "Why so much big hospital? Why so much big prison house?" The number of prisoners are increased.

So rascals are there in . . . engaged in welfare activities. You see? And they are in charge of welfare activities. I do not wish to criticize, but there are so many things, simply rascaldom—without Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Simply rascaldom . . . (indistinct) . . . yes.

Go on.

Revatīnandana: "The real cause of his difficulties in the hard struggle for life may be found in his forgetfulness of his relationship with the Supreme Lord."

Prabhupāda: Yes. Just change the consciousness and everything will be clear. Just change the consciousness. Real treatment is to get him Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is real treatment. Yes.

Revatīnandana: "When a man is fully conscious of his relationship with Kṛṣṇa, he is actually a liberated soul, although he may be in the material tabernacle."

Prabhupāda: That's all right. So please try to push on this movement as far as possible. That is our duty. (devotees pay obeisances) (pause)

Devotee (1): Bīrabhadra has a question.

Bīrabhadra: You said that, um . . . you said that there are many living entities in the temple and that they can hear, that everything can hear, has ears. But . . .

Prabhupāda: They can eat also. Your Kṛṣṇa prasādam left, they come and eat.

Bīrabhadra: But a snake, he doesn't have ears. A snake, he doesn't have ears.

Prabhupāda: Who says?

Bīrabhadra: A snake.
