The first defect of the civilization is that they are taking account of these fifty or sixty years of life. Life is continuation. That they do not know.

This philosophy they do not know. Tathā dehāntara-praptiḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 2.13|BG 2.13]]). Here is the defect, that "You will have to change this body." They have become so dullheaded. "Oh, what is there? I change or die, it doesn't matter. Let me enjoy." This is the difficulty.

So mass sinful activities, state cannot. So if the legislators and the head of the state are Kṛṣṇa conscious, they will understand the importance of this. So they can stop slaughterhouse.

Prabhupāda: Yes. If the government is Kṛṣṇa conscious, they can control everything.
Rāmeśvara: That means the government will have direct controls over all different fields of business.
Prabhupāda: It has already. It has already.
Rāmeśvara: But in America the government cannot tell the publishing house, "You can only have Kṛṣṇa conscious books." They are tolerating books about sex, books about crime...
Prabhupāda: No, if you educate public that these are nasty things, in the school, colleges, where government has control, then automatically sale will be stopped.
Gurudāsa: Naturally.
Prabhupāda: If you educate people, "Don't waste your time," then they will stop. They are controlling in Russia, publication.
Rāmeśvara: Yes, and China also.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Rāmeśvara: But that's why I said... That is not possible, it seems, in a democracy. They have to have dictatorship.
Prabhupāda: No, democracy means people elected. If public wants that the election should be amongst the Kṛṣṇa conscious person, then it will be done. One man's ruling will not be possible unless there is dictatorship.
Gurudāsa: Consciousness must change.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
