Just like you are being incarnated from baby's body to child's body, child's body to boy's body, boy's body to youthhood body—this is reincarnation. There is no question of believing; it is a fact. If you do not know it, it is ignorance. But it is a fact.

Prabhupāda: . . . just like you are being incarnated from baby's body to child's body, child's body to boy's body, boy's body to youthhood body—this is reincarnation. There is no question of believing; it is a fact. If you do not know it, it is ignorance. But it is a fact.

English boy: I'm Christian, and lots of what you just said is completely disputed in the Bible. I'd like you to tell me, please, and tell the other people here about how the word "God," as defined in the Holy Bible, of which I, as a personal Christian, hold very sacred.

I have witnessed here today more or less blasphemy against God, and you claim to come from God and . . . or your disciples claim you come from God. And I'd like you to sort of classify your distinction of God and my distinction of God, please.

Revatīnandana:

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāmin iti nāmine

So my spiritual master has requested that I answer this question. We are functioning in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement on the basis of the Vedic literature, Vedic scriptures. Amongst these Vedic scriptures, we consider the Bible to be one. Lord Jesus Christ is teaching in the Bible that, "You love first God with your whole heart and soul, and then you love your neighbor as yourself."

My spiritual master is teaching that we are all part and parcel of God, and as part and parcel of God, our business is to render loving service to the Supreme Lord. You say that you are living love of God. But God says then you will love your neighbor as yourself.

English boy: I do that.

Revatīnandana: If you love your neighbor as yourself, then why this civilization, which claims to be Christian, is slaughtering so many animals, and why they are constantly slaughtering each other in wars, in the streets, killing, killing, killing? Jesus says you will not kill: "Thou shalt not kill," and you are killing: killing the animals, killing each other. This civilization is of dogs and cats fighting and killing, and my spiritual master is giving love of God, he is giving love of God to the world.

And you can develop so simply. You just hallow the name of the Lord. Jesus says: "Hallowed be thy name, my Father." And we are hallowing the name of the Lord. We don't even demand you say: "Kṛṣṇa." You can say "Jehovah." You can say: "Yahweh." You can chant the names of God. You can purify your heart and develop love of God, and then you will stop killing and slaughtering each other.
