Prabhupāda: The mother also says: "Yes, he's your father." "No, I don't believe." What is the evidence? The father is saying: "I am father." The mother is saying: "Yes, he's your father." And the rascal is saying, "No, I don't believe it." Then?

Hari-śauri: You can't do anything for them.

Prabhupāda: Just see his unfortunate position.

Hari-śauri: It's very surprising to people how we have such a wide scope of knowledge.

Prabhupāda: Immediately catch up, "Here is the rascal." Sarvam idaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavati. If you simply know Kṛṣṇa, you know everything. That is religion.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: People sometimes can't understand why we are not satisfied that someone has some religious sentiment, even though their knowledge of God may be wrong.

Prabhupāda: Sentiment, there is . . . even your relationship with your friends and father and mother is sentiment. That is another thing. But you must know, "He's my father," "He's my mother," "He's my son." Sentiment there is, even your ordinary relationship. Just see. You cannot avoid sentiment. Just like we're dancing. That is also sentiment, "Oh, here is Kṛṣṇa." That is sentiment. But that does not mean because he's dancing in sentiment, he does not know what is Kṛṣṇa. Sentiment must be there. That is ecstasy, enjoyment. But not blind sentiment. (break) . . . you do not know, know from Kṛṣṇa. Anybody can say, "I do not know who is my father." And if the real father says, "I'm your father, my son," then how he can prove? How he does not know? If he says: "No, I don't believe you that you are my father," then what is the . . . where is evidence?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: He's lost.

Prabhupāda: The mother also says: "Yes, he's your father." "No, I don't believe." What is the evidence? The father is saying: "I am father." The mother is saying: "Yes, he's your father." And the rascal is saying, "No, I don't believe it." Then?

Hari-śauri: You can't do anything for them.

Prabhupāda: Just see his unfortunate position. Where is his . . . (indistinct)?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They will want to know, though, how this will stop two countries from blowing each other up.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They will want to know how this knowledge that God is the father of everyone will stop these modern-day nations from blowing each other up.

Prabhupāda: That you do, and suffer. (in car) God is the father, and father's property is this whole world. We are all sons, beginning from Brahmā down to the ant, and father's property lets us enjoy equally. That's all. All questions are solved.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: What to do with the greedy people in the world, though?

Prabhupāda: Greedy because you are meant to . . . because you don't recognize father and father's property, you have created the situation.

Hari-śauri: Because they don't know who the proprietor is, they're thinking, "I can take this for myself."

Prabhupāda: Therefore America has so much over-production. Let the hungry men come here. Greediness is not allowed. Whatever . . . tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā. Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam ([[Vanisource:ISO 1|ISO 1]]). This is śāstra. Everything belongs to God. Whatever He allots to you, you take it. In the family the father says: "My dear boy, take of this." That's all. Why should he claim more? The father knows how much he'll eat, and he'll give him. He's supplying the elephant his food, the ant his food. Elephant is not dying, starvation. Why you are bothering? You want to eat forty kilos: "All right. Take it." The father is able to supply that. Eko yo bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). He's supplying everyone.
