<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walks -- January 22-23, 1976, Mayapura|Morning Walks -- January 22-23, 1976, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Harikeśa: They will get very angry.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Angry... With shoes. We beat them with shoes that "You have created a civilization to work like ass, and ideal is to become a pig. What is this civilization? Śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puru... ([[Vanisource:SB 2.3.19|SB 2.3.19]]). And for their votes you become a president. What you are better than a pig? A pig votes for another pig, big pig. That's all. How people will be happy?"</p>
<p>Harikeśa: You told them that in South Africa.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Did I say?</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But they clapped.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Yes. (laughter)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. They appreciated. Although they do not take Indians very seriously...</p>
<p>Harikeśa: "Third-class citizens."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Third class. But they attended my lecture, they purchased my books and they clapped.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh. South Africa...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, South Africa. That I... Very much I was astonished that how these...</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Many of them?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, many of them.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh. I thought only Indians attended.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: Oh, no.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. White men. Yes. And in Melbourne the priests also appreciated. So any sane man will appreciate our, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. These are very strong words, that "You have created a civilization of pig, and for making perfect that civilization you are working like ass." So what is the advancement? A ass is trying to become a pig. What is that civilization? The ideal is to become a pig, and for that, fulfillment of that idea, they are working like ass. Is it not? Just see. Think over.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: If we speak like that in the classrooms, whew!</p>
<p>Bhavānanda: They like it.</p>
<p>Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Very strong.</p>
