Devotee (2): You said there must be an ideal class of men.

Prabhupāda: There is no ideal class of men. All fourth class, fifth class, tenth class.

Śrutakīrti: He accepted it also.

Prabhupāda: Oh, you were present.

Śrutakīrti: Yes. At the finish he said: "Now I'm going back to my fourth-class friends.".

Hari-śauri: Many of the big parks in the big cities, they are full of thieves and all kinds of other people.

Prabhupāda: That means they cannot improve the condition of the people. Just like at the airport, everyone is checked. There is no gentleman. Why everyone is checked? That means the whole mass of people, they're all rogues and thieves. Therefore it is necessary to keep an ideal, an ideal class of men, brāhmaṇas. Then people will follow. But there is no such . . . everyone is coolie. That's all. Everyone is. They are making everyone coolie. Coolie civilization. One officer came to see me in Perth, Australia. So I told him, "This is a civilization of fourth-class men." You remember?

Devotee (2): We heard the tape.

Prabhupāda: Yes. (laughs)

Devotee (2): You said there must be an ideal class of men.

Prabhupāda: There is no ideal class of men. All fourth class, fifth class, tenth class.

Śrutakīrti: He accepted it also.

Prabhupāda: Oh, you were present.

Śrutakīrti: Yes. At the finish he said: "Now I'm going back to my fourth-class friends."

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Devotee (2): This man last night also, he admitted.

Prabhupāda: There is no first-class men. All fourth-class. They do not know what is first-class men. If one has got money, then he's all right. That is Kali-yuga. No qualification. If you have got money, then it is all right; you are big man. Money's everything at the present moment. People, they are trying to accumulate money by all means. Doesn't mind first class, second class, third class—bring money, any way. Rather, if one does not drink, he's a third-class man. And if one drinks, he's first-class man, civilized. In India, formerly, any gentleman comes, a glass of water or two sandeśa was given. Now that is rejected. If a gentleman is not offered a peg of wine and some chicken, then it is not proper reception. (break) . . . building?

Devotee (2): It's an office building, a big one in Renaissance Center . . . (indistinct) . . . those ones to your left they are under construction.
