"So, it requires a devotee who can explain God from any Godly literature"? ( Morning Walk, June 6, 1974, Geneva)

 

Mahak is one of the best devotees at doing this I have read on the internet.

 

Prabhupāda, Morning Walk, June 6, 1974, Geneva: [...]Yes. So it requires the devotee who can explain from any godly literature about God. How rascal they are! “Jesus Christ ate fish. Therefore we shall maintain big, big slaughterhouse.” Just see the argument. Then, in the Bengali, mosa makta kanan (?). There was a mosquito, and one is asking, “Bring a cannon.” “Bring a cannon.” Mosa makta kanan. Jesus Christ ate somewhere. There was no food available to eat, might have. Accepting he ate, but that, does it mean that you have to maintain slaughterhouse? Just see. And besides that, he might have done anything. He’s powerful. He can eat. Therefore the other day I said, “He can eat the whole world.” But you cannot imitate. You have to follow his instruction. That is Christianity.

 

Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: Many of the young people now, they look to the Bible for instruction, but they don’t like to go to church at all. They feel that the church is hypocritical.

 

Prabhupāda: Hypocritical, simply hypocritical. All these priests and cardinals and popes, they’re all hypocritical. Getting high, highly salaried, high salaries, and drinking wine. And in America there is a hospital, five thousand drunkard priests are admitted there to cure

their drinking habit. That was published in a paper. And they’re sanctioning man to man marriage. That was published in that, what is that? Watch?

 

Satsvarūpa: Watchtower?

 

Prabhupāda: Watchtower. Yes.

 

Guru Gaurāṅga: They did a survey among the Catholic priests…

 

Prabhupāda: What is this? They do not fight. Why there is soldier? (laughter) What nonsense. Why there are soldiers? The neutral? 1939. This is Second World War. And First World War, 19…

 

Yogeśvara: (reading) “Dedicated to the soldiers of Geneva who died in the service of their country.”

 

Prabhupāda: So that means it was attacked?

 

Guru Gaurāṅga: Probably defending banks or things like that. Civil.

 

Prabhupāda: Two wars, 1914 to 1918.

 

Swiss Devotee: They have big military poems. Yes.

 

Prabhupāda: Eh?

 

Swiss Devotee: Many, many.

 

Guru Gaurāṅga: We read in the papers, Śrīla Prabhupāda, that they did a survey among the Capucine priests and fifty percent felt that their spiritual life was hampered by the fact that they could not have intimate relations with women. And forty percent felt that they were not allowed enough freedom and that obedience was not good.

 

Prabhupāda: Not allowed in…?

 

Guru Gaurāṅga: Enough freedom.

 

Prabhupāda: What is that freedom?

 

Yogeśvara: Illicit principles. Sinful principles.

 

Prabhupāda: Oh. [break] …fig, there are thousands of seeds. And each seed contains a tree like that. And there are thousands of fruits, figs. Where is that chemist who can prepare such figs? One, in Delhi, when our festival was going on, we invited a big chemist. He admitted that “Our chemical advance, scientific advancement is like

this.” He explained very nicely. You were present?

 

Yogeśvara: Where?

 

Prabhupāda: In Delhi? He said that a man who has learned the art to, what is called, barking like dog, and people will go to see, purchasing ticket, ten rupees, twenty rupees, how the man is barking like a dog. And there are so many dogs barking. They won’t see. This is our advancement. If a man has artificially learned how to bark, they’ll go to see by paying fees. And the natural barking, they don’t care. So these rascals are like that. They’re trying to manufacture life. And so many life is coming by nature’s process, millions and millions, that is no credit. And he’s trying, utopian, he’ll create life by chemical combination, he’s given all credit, Nobel Prize: “Oh, here is a man.” This is rascaldom. So what credit you’ll get. Suppose if you can manufacture a man or an animal in the laboratory, where is your credit? There are many millions and millions are coming automatically. We are trying to give credit to Kṛṣṇa who is making all this creation.

 

Yogeśvara: There is one Englishman named Aldous Huxley…

 

Prabhupāda: Yes.

 

Yogeśvara: …who wrote a book called “Brave New Worlds”, and in that book, he predicted something that’s coming true now, that there would be a process of biologically screening babies so that men could be breeded like animals, like they breed animals. So they would take one strain of chromosomes and breed a class of men who would make perfect administrators, and then they would breed another class of men that would be perfect śūdras, and they would breed another class of men who would be perfect scientists.

 

Prabhupāda: And that is already there. Guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ. The, the, in Vedic astrology, jāta-karma, they will say that “This child is a śūdra, this child is a brāhmaṇa, this child is a kṣatriya.” By the birth, by the constellation of the stars, it will be done. It is

already being done. And in the medical laboratory, the blood has been tested, brāhmaṇa, śūdra, vaiśya, there is different blood. Yes. The blood infusion. So if the, a different blood is infused, it does not act. So one doctor, in India, he was permanently keeping different

bloods for different persons. So there is some meaning in the caste system. But that is not… In a brāhmaṇa family, a śūdra may also take birth. Śūdra blood. So to keep the blood brahminical, therefore the reformatory system is there, garbhādhāna-saṁskāra and all the

saṁskāras. Before birth, they keep, to keep the blood brahminical, there is ceremony.

 

Satsvarūpa: Yesterday you said when one becomes initiated by a bona fide spiritual master, his body changes.

 

Prabhupāda: Yes.

 

Satsvarūpa: Even if he was mleccha, he can become brāhmaṇa.

 

Yogeśvara: Actually, the chemists also say that there are four types of blood, A, AB, O, and something like that. They give it four names.

 

Prabhupāda: And according to Hindu system, the marriage was taking place finding, examining the girl’s constitution and the boy’s constitution so that there may not be disruption. Everything was

there.

 

Yogeśvara: The Vedic system is so scientific.

 

Prabhupāda: Oh yes. That is human civilization. That is Āryan civilization. Vedic civilization means Āryan.

 

Yogeśvara: Hitler also wanted to produce a pure breed of Āryans, but artificially. He just said anyone who is German-born, they are the pure Āryans.

 

Prabhupāda: But so much freedom in sex, how the blood can be pure? [break]

 

Yogeśvara: …but Kṛṣṇa-prasādam?

 

Prabhupāda: Then he’s neutral always. He’s not affected by all these qualities.

 

Yogeśvara: I guess the blood becomes purified like that. [break]

 

Prabhupāda: I said that “You scientists, you are simply wasting time.” Did I not say that, last night?[...]
