- If you take advantage of this Krsna consciousness movement cooperatively, it will be very, very good for the whole human society
- If you take it otherwise - "Ah, we shall go on committing all sins, & Jesus Christ will make a contract to nullify all my sins; I'll simply go to the church & confess & come back & again do all nonsense" - do you think that shows very good intelligence
- If you think that "I am the only son of God, and the animal is . . . has no soul, and let us kill," that is not a very good philosophy. Why not? What is the symptoms of possessing soul

- In the material world, our father gives us our birth, and we are an entity separate from him. If we are suffering, do we say, "My dear father, I am suffering. Will you please once again make me one with you?" Is this a very good proposal
- In the modern materialistic civilization, we have very good arrangement for eating, for sleeping, for defending, and for sense gratification. The modern material civilization is simply based on this mundane knowledge
