<div class="heading">This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to educate people how to live in spiritual atmosphere, and then there will be peace and prosperity. Unless one is in spiritual life... Because factually we are spiritual entities. Mamaivāṁśaḥ. We are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is the whole spirit, and we are His part and parcel.

So you are not interfering with the right of the living entity. A tiger has got the right to eat another animal. So we are not going to preach amongst the tigers that, "You become vegetarian" or "You become Kṛṣṇa conscious." That is not our business. Our business is that we are inducing, we are entreating, we are requesting people that, "You take Kṛṣṇa ''prasāda''." That is our business. To become vegetarian or nonvegetarian is not very big business. We do not admit that vegetarians are very much pious and nonvegetarians are not pious. No. Not like that. We say that everyone is impious who is not taking foodstuff offered to Kṛṣṇa. That is our view. Anyone.

That is stated by Kṛṣṇa. ''Yajña-śiṣṭāśinaḥ santo mucyante sarva-kilbiṣaiḥ'': "Anyone who is eating foodstuff offered to Yajña, to Viṣṇu or Kṛṣṇa, he is diminishing his volumes of sinful life." ''Bhuñjate te tv aghaṁ pāpā ye pacanty ātma-kāraṇāt'' ([[Vanisource:BG 3.13 (1972)|BG 3.13]]): "And anyone who is cooking for himself, not for Kṛṣṇa, then he is simply eating a lump of sinful life." It doesn't matter whether he is vegetarian or nonvegetarian. This is the philosophy of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We have to eat what is offered to Kṛṣṇa. ''Yajña-śiṣṭāśinaḥ santo mucyante sarva''.

''Yajñārthe karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ'' ([[Vanisource:BG 3.9 (1972)|BG 3.9]]). If you simply work for Kṛṣṇa . . . that is called ''karma-yoga''. One who is working simply for Kṛṣṇa, he is ''karma-yogī''. You have got tendency to work. You have got tendency to flourish yourself by advancing industrialism. That's nice. You go on, do it. We don't forbid it. But do it for Kṛṣṇa. Make Kṛṣṇa center. That is the whole teachings of ''Bhagavad-gītā''. ''Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru'' ([[Vanisource:BG 18.65 (1972)|BG 18.65]]). You offer . . . ''kuruṣva tad mad-arpaṇam''. ''Yat karoṣi''. "Whatever you do, it doesn't matter. Whatever you eat," ''yat karoṣi yaj juhoṣi'', "whatever you sacrifice, whatever you give in charity, give unto Me." ''Kuruṣva tat mad-arpaṇam''. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to educate people how to live in spiritual atmosphere, and then there will be peace and prosperity. Unless one is in spiritual life . . . because factually, we are spiritual entities. ''Mamaivāṁśaḥ''. We are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is the whole spirit, and we are His part and parcel. Just like a machine, and there is small screw, a part of the machine. The screw, although it has no value, but because it is a part of the machine, big machine, if that screw is missing, you will have to purchase at any price. It has got value. The same screw, when it is without the machine, it has no value, because it is only a small particle of the machine.
