So, this is a very old text, so, I'm 1900 texts behind on the varnashrama
conference, but

This logic is childish. I can very truthfully say that , no, I do not agree
to killing cows in slaughter houses, so I will not help you in this regard

Sometimes the dichotomy between truthfulness and Krsna consciousness is
solved with the help of a little common sense..
