If you take sword and kill the papis, then everybody will be finished. Of course, that will be done at the last stage of Kali-yuga. But here the process of Krsna consciousness movement is killing the papa-bija.

Room Conversation -- April 6, 1971, Bombay:

Prabhupāda: Process of killing is different because in this age if you simply kill all the papis, then there will be no more existence because everybody is papi. If you take sword and kill the papis, then everybody will be finished. Of course, that will be done at the last stage of Kali-yuga. But here the process of Krsna consciousness movement is killing the papa-bija. Papa-bija means just like a man is a thief. He knows that "If I steal, according to sastra, I'll be punished by God. Or there is no god. Then I'll be punished by the state, by the police." He knows that. And he sees also that one man who has committed theft, he is arrested and he is taken by the police. He has seen also. But still he does stealing. He knows either from the state point of view or sastra point of view, and he sees practically. Still he does it. Why? Papa-bija. In the heart the seed of committing sinful activities is there. So simply by seeing or knowing, it will not be killed. It has to be killed by this Krsna consciousness movement. He should be purified from the heart he'll give up everything. So this killing process is paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam (BG 4.8). So this papa-bija, the seed of sinful activities, is being killed. Otherwise, how people give up all the sinful activities? Because the papa-bija, the original seed, is being killed away. You see practically.
