Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

You must have religion to have proper life.
Lecture on BG 4.13 -- Johannesburg, October 19, 1975:

Guest (1): Could you ask Prabhupāda to explain... Prabhupāda, could you explain why... I didn't quite understand why it was necessary that we have religion. You said that so that we can be different to cats and dogs.

Prabhupāda: Why it is necessary that you should know the laws of the state?

Devotee (1): To know?

Prabhupāda: Know the laws of the state. You are living in some state, under some government. So why it is necessary that you should know the government's laws?

Devotee (1): So you can live best under them.

Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: So we can live best under them.

Prabhupāda: So you must have religion to have proper life.

Devotee (1): In other words, religion means...

Prabhupāda: I have already explained. Religion means the law given by God. As you are... You must abide by the laws of the government. Similarly, the supreme government, God's, you must know what is His purpose. Otherwise you'll be misguided and you'll be punished. Just like if you violate the government laws, you are liable to be punished, similarly, if you violate the supreme government's law, then you will be punished.
