At least, make a show of, to attack. That means offending. If... Suppose you are passing on the road, and if I come with a stick, "Why you have come here?" Is it not offense? All right, if I trespass in your house, you can attack with me a stick. Or no, in your country one can kill. You see. Such a nice mentality. But men are also like that. They deserve to be killed. This is going on. So the animal society. You cannot believe a man, just like animal cannot believe another animal. This is... So it is very rightly written, śva-viḍ-varāha uṣṭra khara. Śva-viḍ-varāha uṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ. The general mass of people is no better than these animals, and they are voting to select their leader.</p> | | |
| <p>So whom they will vote? Another paśu, another animal. Because they have no choice. They are animals and how they can select a man? A man means karṇa-pathopetaḥ, one who is hearing about Kṛṣṇa. He is man. Otherwise all animals. Now, you say, how this charge can be refuted by you. Bhāgavata says, "He is not man." Na yat-karṇa-pathopeto jātu nāma gadāgrajaḥ. He may be in the if form of a man, but if he has not heard about Kṛṣṇa, if he has not given aural reception to kṛṣṇa-kathā, then he is paśu, animal. And what kind of animal? Dogs, hogs, camels, asses. Why these nice animals have been selected? That is described. Now you can read the purport.</p>

Modern university education practically prepares one to acquire a doggish mentality to accept the service of a greater master.</p>

| | So it is very rightly written, ''śva-viḍ-varāha uṣṭra khara. Śva-viḍ-varāha uṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ''. The general mass of people is no better than these animals, and they are voting to select their leader. So whom they will vote? Another ''paśu'', another animal. Because they have no choice. They are animals, and how they can select a man? A man means ''karṇa-pathopetaḥ'', one who is hearing about Kṛṣṇa. He is man. Otherwise, all animals. Now, you say, how this charge can be refuted by you? ''Bhāgavata'' says: "He is not a man." ''Na yat-karṇa-pathopeta jātu nāma gadāgrajaḥ''. He may be in the form of a man, but if he has not heard about Kṛṣṇa, if he has not given aural reception to ''kṛṣṇa-kathā'', then he is ''paśu'', animal. And what kind of animal? Dog, hog, camel, asses. Why these nice animals have been selected? That is described. |
