<div class="heading">When you come to the form of human being, you should have discrimination. If you have no discrimination, simply you live like animal, then where is the difference? If the human being does not discriminate what is pious activities and what is sinful activity, that means lack of brain. He has no brain. He is no better than the animals.

Hennis of the International Labor Organization of the U.N. -- May 31, 1974, Geneva]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Yogeśvara: It is the natural order, that all animals... There are many species of animals that eat flesh, and that man is simply following the natural order.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Natural means, that means he should become animal. Like, he should imitate like the animal. That is man's progress, do you mean to say?</p>
<p>C. Hennis: Well, that's no doubt the rationale that they use.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I understand your point. That we also say, that any living entity has to live by eating another living entity. That is natural. Jīvo jīvasya jīvanam. It is said in the Vedic literature that one living entity is the food for another living entity.</p>
<p>C. Hennis: That's true.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Just hear me. But when you come to the form of human being, you should have discrimination. If you have no discrimination, simply you live like animal, then where is the difference? My only point is the lack of brain. Human being, he has been given by nature... They are also life, the fruits, the vegetables, the food grains, the milk, the sugar, they have got enough food value, and the human being should be satisfied within this group. Why they should maintain slaughterhouse, and do not think that they are not sinful, and still they want to be happy without caring for God? That is lack of brain.</p>
<p>C. Hennis: My organization is not directly concerned with giving people brains.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, your organization may not be directly concerned, but the human society, if it is brainless, however organization you may make, it will never become happy. That is my point.</p>
<p>C. Hennis: It is concerned with taking away the obstacles which prevent people from attaining brain.</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: This is the obstacle.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No.</p>
<p>C. Hennis: One of the obstacles is just plain poverty. One of the obstacles is overwork.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. A human being should be considerate. Everyone has got religion. Either he is Hindu or Muslim or Christian, it doesn't matter. There must be discrimination between sinful activities and pious activities. Human being should be engaged for pious activities, not for sinful activities. That is human society. If the human being does not discriminate what is pious activities and what is sinful activity, that means lack of brain. He has no brain. He is no better than the animals.q</p>
