If you take sword and kill the pāpīs, then everybody will be finished. Of course, that will be done at the last stage of Kali-yuga. But here the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is killing the pāpa-bīja.


Room Conversation -- April 6, 1971, Bombay:

Prabhupāda: Process of killing is different, because in this age if you simply kill all the pāpīs, then there will be no more existence, because everybody is pāpī. If you take sword and kill the pāpīs, then everyone will be finished. Of course, that will be done at the last stage of Kali-yuga.

But here, the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is killing the pāpa-bīja. Pāpa-bīja means just like a man is a thief. He knows that "If I steal, I, according to śāstra, I'll be punished by God. Or there is no God, then I'll be punished by the state, by the police." He knows that. And he sees also that one man who has committed theft, he is arrested and he is taken by the police. He has seen also. But still he does stealing. He knows either from the state point of view or śāstra point of view, and he sees practically. Still he does it. Why? That pāpa-bīja. In the heart the seed of committing sinful activities is there.

So simply by seeing or knowing, it will not be killed. It has to be killed by this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. He should be purified from the heart; he'll give up everything. So this killing process is paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām (BG 4.8). So this pāpa-bīja, the seed of sinful activities, is being killed. Otherwise, how people give up all the sinful activities? Because the pāpa-bīja, the original seed, is being killed. You see practically.
