General Lectures

Naturally, the brahmin class of men, they are not very rich. (baby starts crying) Oh. What happened? (break) . . . are always, because they do not endeavor for material opulence, apparently they look very poor. But actually, they are rich in knowledge. But people do not care for knowledge, at the present moment at least. They care for material opulence. They think that this life is meant for highest grade of sense gratification. That is the general thinking. In this city, any city you go, they are struggling very hard.

If you divide all people, they will . . . you will find one class of men, they are not interested with this opulence of material happiness. They are seeking—philosophers, learned scholars, scientists, religionists, reformers. Their business is different.

So naturally, the brahmin class of men, they are not very rich.

(baby starts crying) Oh. What happened?

(break) . . . are always, because they do not endeavor for material opulence, apparently they look very poor. But actually, they are rich in knowledge. But people do not care for knowledge, at the present moment at least. They care for material opulence. They think that this life is meant for highest grade of sense gratification. That is the general thinking. In this city, any city you go, they are struggling very hard.

Everyone is trying to get very rich, to get monetary power, so that they can satisfy their senses. Just like I hear from my students that this island, Hawaii, is meant for tourists. Tourists means they are all rich class of men. They come here to spend money for sense gratification. That is the way of civilization, the modern civilization: "Earn money at any cost. At the risk of all advancement of life, enjoy."
