Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

Then the hog would have been the first-class devotee. (laughter) Because he has enjoyed sense gratification without any restriction, without caring for mother, sister, or daughter. Then the hog would have gotten the first-class certificate to become a devotee.
Lecture on SB 1.2.19 -- Vrndavana, October 30, 1972:

Acyutānanda: "...have already enjoyed sense gratification. So you can take to it."

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Acyutānanda: Most people say to us that "Because in America you have already enjoyed sense gratification, so now you are taking to this."

Prabhupāda: Then the hog would have been the first-class devotee. (laughter) Because he has enjoyed sense gratification without any restriction, without caring for mother, sister, or daughter. Then the hog would have gotten the first-class certificate to become a devotee. That is not... Of course, they think like that, rascaldom, that "Let us finish our sense gratificatory process. Then we shall think of our Kṛṣṇa consciousness." That is rascaldom. You have to give up. Not that... What is that? Haviṣa kṛtam(?)... Or what is that verse?
