Unless you come to the platform of brahma bhūta consciousness, you cannot treat everyone on the same level. It is not possible. The so-called universal brotherhood is not possible on this material condition of life. Therefore you can see that materially there are so many attempts to find out a platform of universal brotherhood. But there is no universal brotherhood. There is simply platform of enemity. The United Nation is trying to come to the platform of universal brotherhood.
When I go to New York, I see the great institution. There are hundreds and thousands of flags. Instead of being united, the flags are increasing, because this universal brotherhood, this equality, fraternity, cannot be established on this material platform. That is not possible. You have to come to the point, to the platform of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or brahma bhūta stage, then it is possible.
- brahma bhūtaḥ prasannātmā
- na śocati na kāṅkṣati
- samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu
- mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām
- (BG 18.54)
So everything is scientifically described in the Vedic literature. You haven't got to make any research. It is already there. You have to simply accept it and take it. Then your life will be sublime, your life will be successful. Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission is that, to make everyone's life successful. Sarve sukhino bhavantu: everyone become happy. That is the mission of everyone. "Everyone" means those who are devotees.
How people will be happy? That is their mission. It is not that we start a mission just to make some money and to fill up our belly, hungry belly. No. It is a mission to see that everyone is happy in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is the mission. Our ācāryas, just like Rūpa Goswāmī, about him Śrinivāsācarya writes:
- nana-śāstra-vicaraṇaika-nipunau sad-dharma-pravarthakau
- lokanam hita-karinau tri-bhuvane manyau saranyakarau
- radha-kṛṣṇa . . . bhajananandena-mattalikau
- vande rupa-sanātana raghu-yugau śrī-jīva-gopālakau
- (Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka)
They engaged themselves. They were ministers. Rūpa Goswāmī and Sanātana Goswāmī, they were two great ministers in the government of Pathan kingdom in Bengal. And they resigned the post just for the benefit of the mass of people. They became mendicant, tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ.
