<div class="heading">We want to, what is called, reject that society. We cannot become sympathetic with everyone. That is not our policy. Asat-saṅga-tyāga vaiṣṇava ācāra. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, when He was asked what is the general behavior of a Vaiṣṇava, He said that the first thing is that you should give up bad company. So these are bad company. We cannot have any sympathy. We cannot make any compromise with everyone. That is not possible.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- June 18, 1976, Toronto|Morning Walk -- June 18, 1976, Toronto]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Satsvarūpa: ...professor who's going to see you tonight, Professor O'Connell, he wrote a book review of Dr. Judah's book about our movement. And he said it was a very sympathetic book, Dr. Judah's, he said, and a little bit too sympathetic on one point. He made his statement. He thinks that our movement, the way we deny the flesh, he said, he called, "denying the flesh," it tends to make us a little cold in our relations to each other, and people in the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement are denying the natural affection that is somehow connected with the flesh.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, we want to, what is called, reject that society. We cannot become sympathetic with everyone. That is not our policy. Asat-saṅga-tyāga vaiṣṇava ācāra. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, when He was asked what is the general behavior of a Vaiṣṇava, He said that the first thing is that you should give up bad company. So these are bad company. We cannot have any sympathy. We cannot make any compromise with everyone. That is not possible. The modern scientists, they have made quarantine? Quarantine? What is that?</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Separation.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hah.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: If someone has a disease, they separate.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Those who are infected, they should be separated. You cannot make any compromise.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: His point was that even amongst ourselves, even amongst the devotees, he says, there is not enough expression of love, because we don't allow...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Well, then.... Trying to be perfect.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Flesh, skin disease.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Perfect does not mean that they should eat meat and drink wine. That does not mean. What is his objection?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: I think what it comes down to is that he objects that we are against illicit sex.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh. (laughter) That means he is accustomed.</p>
<p>Jagadīśa: These professors sit around, discuss topics of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and drink wine.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Just see.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: And their discussion is very blasphemous. This Dr. Dimmock, he's made much investigation on the Six Gosvāmīs, and he's read all manuscripts, and he's always going to India and studying Rūpa Gosvāmī and Lord Caitanya, but everything is extremely blasphemous that he writes. So in both ways, in their habits and whatever they write. The Library Party men, they become friendly to these professors, but only to use them more or less, that they'll accept our books, despite themselves.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that we must do. (break) ...policy is when we go to a, what is called, a bad character, we don't go to associate with him, but to give him our association. Therefore we must be strong and very pure, so that your association, they will be benefited. For the preachers, īśvare tad-adhīneṣu bāliśeṣu dviṣatsu, the four behavior. Īśvara, tad-adhīneṣu, devotees, bāliśeṣu, innocent, and dviṣatsu, those who are envious. So a devotee, those who are preachers, they, prema, loving God, making friendship with devotee, and those who are innocent, to deliver. And those who are envious, reject.</p>
