Conversations and Morning Walks

1973 Conversations and Morning Walks

There is no necessity. Unnecessarily they are killing animals, and becoming sinful. So they have created their own field of activities just to become bereft of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Formerly in the human society, there was no slaughterhouse. If they wanted to kill one animal, they went to the forest or anywhere, kill one animal and eat it. But here it is now regular business. Somebody's supplying cows regularly by increasing livestock. That has become his business. And somebody's killing.

Prabhupāda: So you get enough food by working three months. But they'll not work in the field. They'll work in the factory. The . . . now the world situation is there that they have invented so many artificial work. So people are embarrassed with this kind of work. He doesn't find any time.

Anna Conan Doyle: He's not trained.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Anna Conan Doyle: He's not trained.

That is not possible. We simply request that wherever you are, simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. There is no difficulty. Then everything will be clear. And we are not charging anything for that, that "You give me so many pounds, I'll give you a mantra." Not like that.

So we have invented so many things like that, simply for sinful activities. How we can become happy? It is not possible. So many big, big factories for producing beer and liquor. But they have become accustomed to this. And the net result is now we increasing the hippie population. This irresponsible life is producing children most irresponsible, brainless. Yes. But they have no eyes to see that, "How we are degrading. This is our children." I have been to Amsterdam. One park, there is . . .

Bhagavān: Vondelpark.

Prabhupāda: Bondelpark?

Bhagavān: Vondel.

Prabhupāda: Vondel. So hippies are there. Oh, how wretchedly, voluntarily, they are living. They don't require to live in that way, but they are living. Lying down on the ground. No regulative principles. They do not know where to eat, where to sleep. Unnecessarily. Thousands of them. But they are thinking they're happy.
