1975 Conversations and Morning Walks

It is very strong word—that Western people, they are claiming very civilized, but I have got objection. Therefore I have come to the West. Because, for example, the animal-killing. The Western people are mostly Christians. Now Lord Jesus Christ said that, "Thou shall not kill." But the result was that two thousand years passed, but the people of the Western country, they are still killing. So when they have accepted Christianity? What is your answer?.

Carol Cameron: I would like to know in the beginning why you felt the need to come to the West. I know a little bit about your background, but not very much. Why you so felt the need to come?

Prabhupāda: That I was speaking—of course, it is very strong word—that Western people, they are claiming very civilized, but I have got objection. Therefore I have come to the West. Because, for example, the animal-killing. The Western people are mostly Christians. Now Lord Jesus Christ said that, "Thou shall not kill." But the result was that two thousand years passed, but the people of the Western country, they are still killing. So when they have accepted Christianity? What is your answer?

Carol Cameron: But the actual original scriptures aren't enacted in Western life.

Prabhupāda: I mean to say that Lord Jesus Christ said: "Thou shall not kill." So what kind of men were there that Lord Christ had to request them not to kill? That means they were killers. Suppose if somebody is thief, and if I give him some good instruction, I say: "You should not commit theft." That means you are thief. You are already. Otherwise, why I say that, "Thou shall not commit theft"? A naughty child is disturbing. I say: "My dear child, don't do this." Similarly, when Christ said: "Thou shall not kill," that means he said amongst people who were in habit of killing. Is it not?

Carol Cameron: Hmm.
