<div class="heading">No, no, that is one kind of killing. But directly killing. They, through some instrument, through the vagina, they kill, cut into pieces and get out. Living children. He is a scientist. That surgeon, he is a scientist, and doing this business.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- May 9, 1973, Los Angeles|Morning Walk -- May 9, 1973, Los Angeles]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: No. Pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate (Iso Invocation). He is so complete that one minus one equal to one. That is Absolute. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is expanding Himself by so many energies, but Kṛṣṇa is the same. There is no loss in His energy. Even in a human being or animal, he produces so many children. Just like hog—he produces at least one dozen children every year, but the hog is the same. If a hog can have so much power... And formerly one man used to produce hundreds of children. Wherefrom the potency comes? If a man is giving birth to hundreds of children, but still, he is the same man, wherefrom the potency comes? Why man? Even the fish, thousands of eggs they produce, and thousands of fishes are again produced. Wherefrom the potency comes?</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: From the supreme controller.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not supreme... He has got. From the supreme control..., yes, but directly we see that He has got so much potency. Everything is coming from Supreme; that's a fact. But you can see hundreds and thousands of children produced by one single living entity. The snakes, they produce hundreds and thousands of children at a time. Fortunately, they eat their own children. Otherwise, the whole world would have been full of snakes only.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: They eat?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. All animals, they eat their children.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: I have seen the eggs of snakes. They are small, this big, the eggs.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Kṛṣṇa-Kāntī: As the Kali-yuga advances, the human beings will eat their children too. Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. Just like in the last war, they ate stool, their own stool, out of hunger. So when there will be no foodstuff, they will kill their own children. Already they are killing, abortion. Not only abortion, children grows... By surgical instrument, they kill and they take out the child... They are already killing.</p>
<p>Kṛṣṇa-Kāntī: When they take the pill, the birth control pill, are they killing their children too?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Killing means killing, what is that? What he is asking? I do not...</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: He is asking that they take the pill, birth control pill.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, that is one kind of killing. But directly killing. They, through some instrument, through the vagina, they kill, cut into pieces and get out. Living children. He is a scientist. That surgeon, he is a scientist, and doing this business.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes, medical scientist.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Just see. He is paid for that killing.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: They lost the mercifulness, the quality...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What merciful? Animal has mercifulness. They are animals only. This modern civilization is producing animals. That's it. Who was speaking that slaughterhouse they are giving some injection that the animal may not feel pain? Rascal, he is killing him, and he is humanitarian work, he may not feel killed. If I say, "I shall kill you, but you will not feel any pain. Come on." This is their philosophy. They are killing, and they are saying, "Oh, may not be feeling any pain." Such rascaldom is going on. I therefore do not talk with any rascal except my disciples. I know they are all rascals. Waste of time. All this rascaldom is coming out of that wrong notion that life is from matter, that wrong notion.</p>
<p>Svarūpa Dāmodara: That is why they say, "So long as I am alive, enjoy as much as you can."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that is their philosophy. Hedonism.</p>
