I may disagree with my father in so many points of view, but if somebody asks you, "Who is your father?"
Oh, I will have to say the same enemy, who I have taken as my enemy. Similarly, as the father and the son the relationship cannot be cut off, similarly, our relationship with the Supreme Lord cannot be cut off. It is not possible. If we want to cut off our relationship with the Supreme Lord, or God, by artificial means, then the result will be that we shall be more and more unhappy.
Therefore the principal business of the human civilization is to establish, reestablish, the lost relationship. The world is suffering by this lost relationship, godless civilization. That should not be tolerated. People should be taught, they should revive their God consciousness, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, by all means, and then they will be happy. That is the whole principle. Lord Kṛṣṇa says that:
- utsīdeyur ime lokā
- na kuryāṁ karma ced aham
- saṅkarasya ca kartā syām
- upahanyām imāḥ prajāḥ
- (BG 3.24)
"If I do not set examples in this way, then the whole population of the world will be contaminated, and there will be unwanted population and there will be . . . the whole world will appear just like hell. It is not . . . it will be inhabitable for good men." Therefore, He says, saktāḥ karmaṇy avidvāṁso yathā kurvanti bhārata.
