Try to preach this cult. But not that everyone will accept, but even a few percent, one percent of the whole population accept. Just like in the sky, there is one moon only and there are millions of stars. They're useless. What is the value of the millions of stars? But one moon, oh, dissipate the whole darkness of night.


Lecture on SB 1.15.1 -- New York, November 29, 1973:

Everyone is falsely thinking independent, but he is dependent. But he is depending on false platform. That is the mistake of this material civilization. They are thinking of protection from a tiltering platform, material world. So we have to take shelter of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is very friendly to all of us. Therefore He comes down from Vaikuṇṭha to inform this. That is Bhagavad-gītā. And that is elaborately explained in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. This is the only thing. So the crisis, people are faced with so many crisis, problems. That I told in the airport. The reporter asked me, "What is the solution of this crisis coming?" The solution is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. It is already there. But you rascal, you will not take it. Solution is already there. If the Arabians think that this oil is Kṛṣṇa's property, and the others, purchasers, they also think Kṛṣṇa's property, then they must agree also.

America also must agree that this land of America is also Kṛṣṇa's property. If you think that the Arabian oil is Kṛṣṇa's property, God's property, "We shall take it by force," then why the Arabians should not be allowed to come from the desert and live in America? But they foolish, they will not come. They have got United Nation. But United Nation means simply committing mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake. That's all. That is their business. Why don't you united? Yes, this Arabian oil is Kṛṣṇa's property. Similarly the Australian land, or the African land, or this American land, so vast tract of land. But "No. You can not come here. Yow-yow." They say, the immigration department. You see. Yow-yow department.

So this nonsense, these rascals, all these politician, they're spoiling the situation, but they are so big rascal, they'll not accept the solution. Take Kṛṣṇa consciousness and everything will be solved. That's a fact. Mūḍhā. But they're so rascal, duṣkṛtina, and full of sinful activities, na māṁ duṣkṛtina mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ (BG 7.15), and lowest of the mankind. So always remember that our preaching work is dealing with these kind of men. Duṣkṛtina means full of sinful activities. Mūḍhā, rascals; narādhamāḥ, lowest of the mankind; and māyayāpahṛta-jñānā, and they're thinking very much advanced in education, but fool number one, māyā has taken their real knowledge, māyayāpahṛta-jñānā. Āsuri bhāvam āśritāḥ. Why all these things? Because they are godless. Only fault is godless. Āsuri bhāvam āśritāḥ. Because they have taken the position there is no God. These big, big scientists, they are trying to prove there is no God, "This creation is due from matter, from chemical. The water has come from chemical combination, hydrogen, oxygen. These are the . . ." All foolish theories, and they are getting Nobel Prize. They are getting Nobel Prize. This is the position.

Therefore, from this verse you should know, evaṁ kṛṣṇa-sakhaḥ kṛṣṇo bhrātrā rājñā vikalpitaḥ, nānā-śaṅkā . . . these rascals, our . . . say our elder brother, advance, they're suggesting, "This the cause of," "This is the cause of," "This is the cause of," "This is the cause of." But the only cause is Kṛṣṇa, forgetfulness of Kṛṣṇa. That they do not know. The only cause.

kṛṣṇa bhuliya jīva bhoga vāñchā kare
pāśate māyā tāre jāpaṭiyā . . .
(Prema-vivarta 6.2)

This is the cause.

So try to preach this cult. But not that everyone will accept, but even a few percent, one percent of the whole population accept . . . just like in the sky there is one moon only, and there are millions of stars. They're useless. What is the value of the millions of stars? But one moon, oh, dissipate the whole darkness of the night. Similarly, at least those who have taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, you become, each of you become a moon and enlighten the world. These so-called glowworms, they'll not be able to do anything. That's a fact. Don't remain a glowworm. Just become a sun and moon. Then you will . . . people will be happy, you will be happy.
