Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

So they do not know the peace formula. They are creating atheistic population and they want peace. How it is possible? Just like I remember in a . . . I read in a paper that Archbishop of Canterbury, he said in a lecture that, "You want kingdom of God without God." So similarly, the world is after peace. There are so many associations, societies, United Nation. They are after peace, but they are all groups of atheistic people.

So he says that these demigods . . . as I explained the other day, there are two classes of men everywhere: one godly and the other atheist. The atheistic are always disturbing, and godly persons, they're peaceful; they're not disturbing. Whenever we'll find disturbance, you must know there is atheistic population. And peaceful country or a godly persons, they are never disturbing.

So Prahlāda Mahārāja takes the side of the atheistic population because he was born of atheistic father, and he recommends that "These brahmādayo, these demigods headed by Brahmā," he īśa, "my dear Lord," vayam iva, "just like us," na ca udvijantaḥ, "they are not disturbing. They are very peaceful."

So they do not know the peace formula. They are creating atheistic population and they want peace. How it is possible? Just like I remember in a . . . I read in a paper that Archbishop of Canterbury, he said in a lecture that, "You want kingdom of God without God." So similarly, the world is after peace. There are so many associations, societies, United Nation. They are after peace, but they are all groups of atheistic people.

Therefore the members of the United Nation, they are themselves fighting some way or other. How there can be peace, because they are themselves disturbing? How they can be in peace? You cannot expect any peace in atheistic society or animalistic society. So they must be made godly, God conscious, Kṛṣṇa conscious. Then there will be peace.

God conscious and atheistic people, what is the difference? The difference is that atheistic person thinks "my," everything "my." "I am the lord of all I survey. I am the king. I am the leader. I am everything, and everything belongs to me." This is atheistic temperament. And godly persons? They think everything God's. That is the difference. The thing is there. Take anything—your country, your home, your wealth, anything—as soon as you say "It is mine," then it is atheistic. And as soon as you say: "It is God's," then you are godly. You are there; the things are there. Simply change of consciousness. That's all. Simply change of consciousness.

Just like in India, twenty years ago, say, in 1947, we are under the British rule. Now, what is the independence? Independence means they thinking that, "I'm not in British rule." That's all. The government is the same: the clerk, the minister, the secretary, the government house, the administrator, I mean to say, process—everything is there. Simply a change of consciousness. A change of rubber stamp. That's all. Formerly the rubber stamp was "His Majesty's Government," and now the rubber stamp is "Indian Government." That's all.
