Bhaktadāsa: One question is, Śrīla Prabhupāda, "How do you view the spiritual change which is coming in America?"
Prabhupāda: America or any other part of the world, we are all spiritual being. We cannot be satisfied only with the bodily necessities of life. Naturally there is question, "What I am? I am simply this body, or something else?" That question naturally comes in human mind. That is very good. A dog cannot think like that. Therefore in the human life it is necessary to question, "What I am? Why I am put into miserable conditions of life? I do not want it, but it is forced upon me. If there is any remedy? What is that remedy?" These questions are very big questions. So unless you, human being, is awakened to these question, he is no better than animal.
Bhaktadāsa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, "What effects are the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement having on the Christian-Judaic culture or the traditional religious culture?"
Prabhupāda: We are speaking of religion. Religion means to know God and to love God. So does the Christian-Jewish religious system deny this? Then where is the difference? If Christian religion is meant for understanding God and try to love Him, the same thing we are preaching. The same thing, Jewish religion may be preaching. And where is that religion who denies the supremacy of God? What is that religion? Is there any religion in the world who denies the supremacy of God? We say: "Religion means the laws given by God." This is our definition. Therefore we must know what is God, what are His orders, and we must carry out the order, and what is the end of carrying out such orders. If we try to understand these three or four things, then we are religious.
