<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on BG 7.1 -- Nairobi, October 27, 1975|Lecture on BG 7.1 -- Nairobi, October 27, 1975]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Devotee (3): Śrīla Prabhupāda, when we are preaching to Christian people or to Muslim people, is there advantage in being familiar with their scriptures or simply Bhagavad-gītā, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam?</p>
Devotee (4): Śrīla Prabhupāda, when we are preaching to Christian people or to Muslim people, is there advantage in being familiar with their scriptures, or simply ''Bhagavad-gītā'', ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam''?

Prabhupāda: We are not preaching to Christian or Hindu or Muslim. We are preaching to human being. We do not see, "Here is a Christian. Here is a Muslim. Here is a Hindu. Here is a white man. Here is a black man." No. Every living being, his duty is to understand God. This is our preaching. This is our preaching that, "You are living being. You are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. This designation that, 'You are Hindu,' 'You are Muslim,' 'You are Christian,' 'You are this'—these are all designations. Actually you are living being, part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore your main duty is to understand Kṛṣṇa." This is our preaching. We are not going to convert Hindu into Muslim, Muslim into Christian. No, that is not our . . . that is not our business. He may think that he is Christian, he is Hindu, he is Muslim, but we think that he is a spirit soul, part and parcel of God. That is stated in the ''Bha ''. . .

If one is learned ''paṇḍita'', he does not see Hindu, Muslim, Christian. I went to America. I did not go there to turn the Christian to become Hindu. No, I never said that. Did I say, any, anyone that, "You are Christian. You become a Hindu"? No, never I said. That is not my business.
