According to Vedic civilization, there are four divisions of men: brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra. And further, spiritual division: brahmacārī, gṛhastha, vānaprastha, sannyāsa. So everyone has got some duty according to his position. So Bhāgavata says that even a person executes his duty very perfectly, but if he does not awaken his Kṛṣṇa consciousness, then all that he has done is simply a waste of time. So our point is that the UNESCO, United Nations, UNO, they're simply wasting their time. From practical point of view, they're unable to do anything.

So our point is that the UNESCO, United Nations, UNO, they're simply wasting their time. From practical point of view, they're unable to do anything. Because the original idea was to stop war. But the war is going on, fighting is going on. They could not stop it. And United Nations . . . but actually they are becoming disunited more and more. Pakistan was not there. You know very well. Lahore was your country. Now it is others' country. So in this way, there cannot be any solution. There cannot be any solution. We must know the central point.

The central point is Kṛṣṇa. We get from . . . I'm not manufacturing these ideas. Bhagavad-gita is recognized book. There it is stated that:

bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ
sarva-loka-maheśvaram
suhṛdaṁ sarva bhūtānāṁ
jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati
(BG 5.29)

If, actually, anyone wants śānti, peace, he must know these three things. The Lord, Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He is the enjoyer, bhokta. What is called? Beneficiary? Yes. Because He's the owner. Sarva-loka-maheśvaram. And He's friend of everyone.
