Just like suppose in this room there is one note, hundred dollars. Somebody finds, "Here is a hundred dollar note." Now, it belongs to somebody. It has fallen some way. Somebody has lost. So how to utilize this hundred dollar found by me? If I take it in my pocket, then I am thief. And if I neglect it, somebody may take it away; it is misused. The best use is to find out the man, the owner, and hand it over to him. That is the best use. Similarly, if these everything belongs to God, if I want to occupy it by force, I am thief. Stena eva sa ucyate (BG 3.12).
Every one of us who is trying to occupy some portion of land, country, on the name of, "It is my country," and fighting, both of them, they are thieves, because that land does not belong to anyone. No nation. It belongs to God. If we can understand, if the United Nation passed resolution that, "The whole planet belongs to God; we are sons of God, so let us live peacefully as sons of God," oh, there is no quarrel. But that they will never understand. They'll simply try to divide.
Just like some gangs of thieves, they have stolen some property. Now they have come out, and they're dividing, and one of them is asking, "My dear brothers, let us divide piously. Let us divide piously." (laughs) Nonsense. The whole property is impious. So what is the meaning of your piously divided?
Just like in India, nonvegetarian diet, according to Vedic system, it is condemned. Nobody can eat any meat. But now they have learned how to eat meat, they are doing that. So somebody is saying: "Yes, today I have cooked meat, but in the Ganges water." Ganges water is considered to be pious. So he thinks by cooking meat in the Ganges water, it has become purified. You see? This is our mentality.
