Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: It might be necessary to edit the books, because in these countries when they start reading about God and how we say this government is rascal, rascal this and that, that . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Do you think it is necessary?
Prabhupāda: It will be necessary when there will be criticism.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Later on. But at the present moment they have shown interest in our books, so we'll give it the way it is.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That we can correct. There is no . . . (break) . . . is very good boy.
Madhudviṣa: Jaya.
Prabhupāda: I met you in Mexico? No.
Dhṛṣṭadyumna: No, Śrīla Prabhupāda, in Bombay last.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Dhṛṣṭadyumna: Two years ago in India I was here.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: There is one good point. His father is the president of the biggest liquor company in the world, and he has his offices, I think, in China also. He goes to China.
Dhṛṣṭadyumna: Hong Kong. He has been to trade fairs in Peking.
Prabhupāda: Yes. So we are going for trade.
Devotee: That's big.
Hṛdayānanda: Jaya! Kṛṣṇa's arrangement.
Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa captured him, (laughs) that "You come to China. You'll be successful." And when you will ask me, I shall go.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: When?
Prabhupāda: Among the higher . . . to speak among the higher circle, philosophical, I'll go immediately.
Hṛdayānanda: Jagad-guru.
Prabhupāda: (aside) Jaya. (break) . . . to change your dress like gentleman.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That's not difficult.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That doesn't matter.
Prabhupāda: Both of you become as gentlemen, American gentlemen. Kibā vipra kibā śūdra nyāsī kene naya. Everyone. Yei kṛṣṇa-tattva-vettā sei guru haya (CC Madhya 8.128). (break) We shall talk on the philosophy, or distribution of equal wealth.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam (ISO 1).
Prabhupāda: No, don't quote. Then they will drive you away.
Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: No. (laughter)
Prabhupāda: You talk on reasonable ground, that "You are in favor of giving everyone the same facility. So what do you mean by 'everyone'? Why you are selecting only your countrymen? Why? 'Everyone' means every living being." So what is their answer?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes, we agree to spread communism all over the world, and we'll give everyone equal rights.
Prabhupāda: That's all right. So equal rights, why not to the animals?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, they're not as important, they'll argue. They'll say that they're not as important. They're not so intelligent. They're just animals.
Prabhupāda: Animals, but . . . (indistinct) . . . day that there are many men like animals, so why you are giving facility to them?
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Because they can be elevated to the point of being men again.
Prabhupāda: So elevate them to the right point. Elevate them. You are elevating them only on the platform of eating, sleeping, mating. That is there in the animals. So you have to talk this philosophy. Our philosophy is that expanded—not only human being but animals also. Our philosophy is, if there is one lizard in your room, I should see that he is not starving. This is our philosophy. Not only human being but animals, even an insect. We supply little sugar in the holes of the ant. That is our philosophy. We take any living being is the . . . has the same propensity for eating, sleeping. So your economic problem is that "Supply sufficient eating, sleeping." So why not these animals? We have to speak on that platform, that our philosophy is so perfect that we do not neglect even an ant. Make this philosophy. "Why you are limiting within a country or within the human society? Expand it."
