Somebody must work as brain, somebody works as hand, somebody works as belly, and somebody must work as legs. That is complete body. So other things are taken care of, but the government, the . . . (indistinct) . . . they are neglectful about this brain, brāhmaṇa. That is the defect of modern civilization. Therefore the human society is in more or less chaotic condition.

Prabhupāda: Somebody must work as brain, somebody works as hand, somebody works as belly, and somebody must work as legs. That is complete body. So other things are taken care of, but the government, the . . . (indistinct) . . . they are neglectful about this brain, brāhmaṇa. That is the defect of modern civilization. Therefore the human society is in more or less chaotic condition. There are so many educated leaders, so many universities, but still the society is not working. They are trying to adjust things in the United Nations. That is also not doing, because there is no brain, no brāhmaṇa. That is a fact. They do not know how to act. Everybody is whimsically saying something: "I think," "I believe." "You believe," "I believe," "He believes." Everyone believes. Who we should accept? What is the standard? From the present civilization everyone is coming forward: "I believe." You believe; I also believe. You don't accept my belief; I don't accept your belief. Finished. Whole adjustment is wrong. So there must be standard belief. If everyone puts forward his own belief, then which one will be the standard? So we are taking the Kṛṣṇa's instructions as standard. And that is the fact. There must be something standard. In the society, in such condition that "I believe," "You believe," "He believes," what is the standard?

Devotee: Chaos.

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is the present condition. They are manufacturing their own ideas. They cannot accept the standard idea. If the whole human society in the United Nations passes a resolution that "The standard ideas advocated by the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we shall accept," immediately all problems solved. That is a fact.
