Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

So unless there is development of God consciousness, this universal idea, oh, these are nonsense. There cannot be. It is all false, jugglery of words. So first business is to understand your identity, identity of God, your relationship, and your action reformed in that way. Then there is question of universal brotherhood, universal . . . otherwise it is simply jugglery of words.

So he was initiated, and he was seated in a sacred place. So the villagers understood that a vyādha, a hunter, has become a great saint. So everyone was coming and offering some rice, some flowers, some fruits. So he was executing his devotional service according to instruction of Nārada. Then, after some time, Nārada wanted to show that devotee to his friend, Pārvata Muni, and he was coming to that devotee, hunter devotee. At that time the devotee was going to receive Nārada, and while going, he was very careful that a ant may not be killed on the path. So he was jumping. Whenever there was an ant, he was jumping.

So Nārada inquired that, "While you were coming here, why you are jumping?" So he said: "Sir, there are so many ants. So how can I kill ant?" Just see. The same man who was without any kindness, killing so many animals, he has become kind to the ant even.

This is universal. As soon as you become Kṛṣṇa conscious, as soon as you become God conscious, then your real universal, ideal universal consciousness develops. Otherwise it is all simply jugglery. There are so many doctrines of universal love, universal friendship, fraternity, but they are fighting, and they are killing simply, because there is no God consciousness. If you are universal, if you are after universal love, then how you can maintain regular slaughterhouse? How you can think that an American gentleman or lady is your countryman, and not a cow, and not a goat, not a serpent? Where is your universal idea?

So unless there is development of God consciousness, this universal idea, oh, these are nonsense. There cannot be. It is all false, jugglery of words. So first business is to understand your identity, identity of God, your relationship, and your action reformed in that way. Then there is question of universal brotherhood, universal . . . otherwise it is simply jugglery of words.

If you are thinking of universal way, how you can give protection to a human being born in America, and send a cow to the slaughterhouse? What is your reason?
