Conversations and Morning Walks

1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

There are many good men. It is not that simply brāhmaṇas have gone to hell, but everyone has gone.
Morning Walk -- December 25, 1976, Bombay:

Guest (1): I think you are absolutely right. (laughing) Psychologically, somehow or other, anything that is...

Guest (2): British did it.

Guest (1): They made their servants quite all right.

Prabhupāda: They wanted for graft, to manipulate their empire. They wanted some subordinate hands. They never wanted to give real education.

Guest (2): That's true.

Prabhupāda: They wanted that the... That is cooperation. That is one of the Gandhi's understanding, that "These people are ruling over us by our cooperation. Therefore let us noncooperate and they'll fail. They'll not be able to rule."
