Conversations and Morning Walks

1974 Conversations and Morning Walks

Prabhupāda: When there is full knowledge, one can be satisfied on knowledge, not by this artificial means. That is not possible. So actually the whole world is suffering for want of knowledge. So we are giving that knowledge. We are satisfying everyone. We are giving the knowledge. Haihaya: And we are feeding, too. Prabhupāda: Yes. Well, that is secondary. That is secondary. Dhanañjaya: But their philosophy is first you feed them, then give them knowledge. Prabhupāda: But why . . .? You cannot feed even. Just like I wanted rice, I wanted fruit. You could not give me. So why do you claim that you can feed everyone? That you cannot. You are falsely claiming. If you think that simply supplying meat, everyone will be satisfied, that is your nonsense.

Dhanañjaya: If they are not satisfied, then they must do things underground, under cover.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is going on. There are some philosopher, he has written book—he has got Nobel Prize—that, "This Russian government, simply terrorism." He has written a book. He is a famous man. He got Nobel Prize. He has said that, "This is simply terrorism. A set-up, a group of men, simply under terrorism they are governing."

Dhanañjaya: Solzhenitsyn?

Prabhupāda: I think so. Yes. So where is the satisfaction? He wants something. That is . . . that is not possible. When there is full knowledge, one can be satisfied on knowledge, not by this artificial means. That is not possible. So actually the whole world is suffering for want of knowledge. So we are giving that knowledge. We are satisfying everyone. We are giving the knowledge.

Haihaya: And we are feeding, too.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Well, that is secondary. That is secondary.

Dhanañjaya: But their philosophy is first you feed them, then give them knowledge.

Prabhupāda: But why . . .? You cannot feed even. Just like I wanted rice, I wanted fruit. You could not give me. So why do you claim that you can feed everyone? That you cannot. You are falsely claiming. If you think that simply supplying meat, everyone will be satisfied, that is your nonsense.

Haihaya: Yes, they give. But they say you must prostitute for it. You must prostitute for this food which we give you.

Prabhupāda: So is that very good proposal?

Haihaya: It's the worst thing that one can propose. It's just to push man to degenerate himself because of this food, little food.
