Conversations and Morning Walks

1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

Girirāja: He just said that "I will not follow religion in the traditional sense." Prabhupāda: That means another condition. (laughs) From frying pan to the fire. (laughter) Dharmeṇa hīna paśubhiḥ samāna. As soon as you give up religious principles, you are no better than animal. That means he will manufacture—the same disease. "I'll not follow the traditional." This is their death block, that they always think that, "I am independent. I can manufacture my way. I can become happy in that way." They're always thinking.

Girirāja: He just said that "I will not follow religion in the traditional sense."

Prabhupāda: That means another condition. (laughs) From frying pan to the fire. (laughter) Dharmeṇa hīna paśubhiḥ samāna. As soon as you give up religious principles, you are no better than animal. That means he will manufacture—the same disease. "I'll not follow the traditional." This is their death block, that they always think that, "I am independent. I can manufacture my way. I can become happy in that way." They're always thinking. And if in a meeting if hundreds of men claps, that is his liberated: "Now it is approved." Who is approving? That is criticized by Bhāgavatam: śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ (SB 2.3.19). This approval . . . they are animals, and they are applauding another animal, that's all. Big animal, that's all. Śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ. These ordinary persons, they are paśu, and they are applauding. So the man who is applauded, he's another big paśu. That's all.

Girirāja: Camels, asses . . .

Prabhupāda: Hmm? Śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ.

Dr. Patel: Just like camel and ass. Ahorūpa mahad-guṇaiḥ(?). One man is preaching . . .

Prabhupāda: They . . . it is very difficult. Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇāḥ (SB 5.18.12). They may speak all these big, big words, but they have no qualification. Only disqualification is that they do not accept God as Supreme and His instruction is . . .

Dr. Patel: They may be accepting God as Supreme, but of their own imagination.

Prabhupāda: That is their imagination. God is canvassing, "Yes, I am here." Mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat (BG 7.7). "Why don't you think that I am the Supreme?" But these rascals will never believe it. And still they'll write Gītā-pravacana. Very dangerous. Gītā is spoken by God.
