Prabhupāda: God is not your order-supplier. You create war and pray to the church. Why you create war? Precaution is better than . . . unless you Kṛṣṇa conscious, then you will—tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā (ISO 1)—you will encroach upon others' property. That pāpa-bīja has to be killed. Now, after creating war . . . what is the use? After creating war by your own fault, if you go to the church and pray God, "Please save me," so who wanted you to create this war? They are creating their wars, and they are making God as order-supplier: "Now I have created war. Please stop it." Why? Did you do it by the sanction of God? So they must suffer.
How can you make God as your order-supplier? You create something by your own fault and you ask God to come and save you. What is your answer? That is . . . that is, means, sva-karma-phala-bhuk (CC Antya 2.163). You have created something: you must suffer for that. You have created some disease: you must suffer it. Why you violated the law of nature and created your disease? Is it not a fact that when you eat, overeat, and you have got so many troubles in the stomach, then you must suffer for some time. You have created that disease.
Guest: But . . . (indistinct) . . . women, children, they are different . . . (indistinct) . . . After all, they have not done anything wrong.
Prabhupāda: Well, when there is war, that thing happens everywhere. But the persons who create war, they are responsible for it. Yadā yadā hi dharmasya(BG 4.7). First of all we have to understand.
- yadā yadā hi dharmasya
- glanīr bhavati bhārata
- abhyutthānam adharmasya
- tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham
- (BG 4.7)
- paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ
- vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām
- (BG 4.8)
So Kṛṣṇa says, paritrāṇāya sādhunam vināśāya ca duskrtam, yuge yuge sambhavāmi. So first of all we have to know who is a sādhu. He specifically meant paritrāṇāya sādhūnām. Sādhūnām. So who is a sādhu? That sādhu is also described. Bhajate mām ananya-bhāk sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ (BG 9.30): "Those who are constantly engaged in My devotional service, they are sādhus."
So Kṛṣṇa comes to save the sādhus. But Kṛṣṇa, being Absolute, either He saves the sādhus or kills the duṣkṛtas, it is the same. It is the same. Because when Kṛṣṇa kills somebody, he is also liberated immediately. Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ. Dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya: and He comes to reestablish the principles of religion. What is that principle of religion? That is stated by Kṛṣṇa in the last paragraph of Bhagavad-gītā. Not last; in the last chapter. Sarva-dharmān parityajya. Anything which . . . dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya: "I come to reestablish the religious principles."
But again He says, sarva-dharmān parityajya, parityajya, that any religion which does not teach how to surrender to God, that is not religion. Therefore He says, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66). This is only religion. Now tell me if I am right or wrong?
