This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, or the Bhāgavata-dharma, there is ideal communism. You will find in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, in the Seventh Canto, Nārada Muni is giving . . . instructing to Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira about this communism that, "A gṛhastha, before taking lunch, he must see that every insect, every lizard, every cat, every rat . . . (break) . . . even a snake in that house must have been fed, must have taken their food." This is so hospitable that the householder, the owner of the house, not only see that his wife, children, servants are well-fed, but even the rats, cats or the insect or the lizard, or even the snake has got his food. This is the ideal of communism.

One has to become learned. And the process of learning is not very difficult. It is very easy, especially for the men of this age. That is this chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. If you chant this Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, is it very difficult for you? God has given you tongue. We are talking so many things, whole day and night. But if we utilize this tongue for chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, what is the loss there? That is the injunction of the śāstras. Kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā. Harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Adi 17.21]]). Caitanya Mahāprabhu preached this cult.

<div class="quote_verse">
:ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ
:. . . vitaraṇaṁ vidyā-vadhū-jīvanam
:ānandāmbudhi-vardhanaṁ prati-padaṁ pūrṇāmṛtāsvādanaṁ
:sarvātma-snapanaṁ paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam 
:([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.12|CC Antya 20.12]])
</div>

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is spreading this cult of Kṛṣṇa understanding . . .

(break) . . . and we have got very good scheme of communism, as I have stated here in this . . .

(reads) "The ideals of spiritual communism, according to Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, are based more or less on the oneness of the entire human society, nay, on the entire energy of the living beings." This is spiritual communism. The Communist cult is concentrating on the state. That is also limited. Not only on the state; there are so many limitations. Actual communism is this:

<div class="quote_verse">
:vidyā-vinaye-sampanne
:brāhmaṇe gavi hastini
:śuni caiva śva-pāke ca
:paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 5.18 (1972)|BG 5.18]])
</div>

Paṇḍitāḥ sama, when we see equally, not only the learned brahmin . . . the learned brahmin or the elephant or the cow or the dog or the caṇḍāla. No matter. Whatever the bodily condition is there, the spiritual condition is the same. Paṇḍitāḥ sama . . . this samatā, this communism, equality, is perfect. Their modern theory of communism, that "I am good, my brother is good, and all bad," this is not communism. When we are . . . we can see that, "I am good, my brother good, the dog is good, the cat is good, the Englishman is good, the every living entity is good," that is communism. That is perfect communism.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, or the Bhāgavata-dharma, there is ideal communism. You will find in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, in the Seventh Canto, Nārada Muni is giving . . . instructing to Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira about this communism that, "A gṛhastha, before taking lunch, he must see that every insect, every lizard, every cat, every rat . . . (break) . . . even a snake in that house must have been fed, must have taken their food." This is so hospitable that the householder, the owner of the house, not only see that his wife, children, servants are well-fed, but even the rats, cats or the insect or the lizard, or even the snake has got his food. This is the ideal of communism.

Because when you are paṇḍita, learned, you cannot distinguish that "This is animal and this is human being." You can treat them differently because their consciousness is . . . but on the basic principle the living entity—any living entity—it doesn't matter whether it is animal or man, he is part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa.
