Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

We have cultivated a nice human society that there are all, I mean to say, what is called, dogs. The immigration department: " Ohhh . . . why you have come here? Gow!" (laughter) "Yes, sir, I have come here not to harm you. I have to speak something, nice thing." "How long you shall stay?" (laughter) "Oh, not more than one month." "All right. I give you . . ." (laughter) So immediately watchdog. In every house, "Beware of dog." "Don't enter. Beware of dog." This is human civilization. You see? You cannot enter anyone's house, you cannot enter anyone's country. And if you do . . . this means this want of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But the Vedic culture says, gṛham śatrum api prāptaṁ viśvastam akuto bhayam. Even if your enemy comes to your home, you should receive him in such a way that he'll forget that you are his enemy.

It is the duty of the human being to give protection to the cow. Just like we offer Kṛṣṇa our obeisances, namo brahmaṇya-devāya go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca: "Kṛṣṇa, You are worshipable by the brahminical culture, brahmaṇya-devāya," not by others, "because You are go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca, You are well-wisher of the cows and the Brāhmiṇs." Why Kṛṣṇa is not said tiger? Why this prayer is devoid of tiger? Hitāya ca. Kṛṣṇa is always, I mean to say, thinking how to protect the cows and the Brāhmiṇs. When Kṛṣṇa appeared on this planet He became a cowherd boy to give protection to the cows. He was tending cows by His personal example. You will read in the Kṛṣṇa Book how He was taking care of the cows. Therefore go-brāhmaṇa-hitāya ca.

The first prayer is that, "You are protector of the cows and the Brāhmiṇs." Jagad-dhitāya: "You are well-wisher of the whole universe, but Your special interest is to give protection to the cows and the Brāhmiṇs." Why that special interest? Because if the human society does not give protection to the cows and does not cultivate the brahminical culture, then it is cats' and dogs' society. Therefore it is given. And as soon as the whole society becomes full of cats and dogs, how can you expect peace and prosperity? The dog's business is "Gow gow gow gow! Why you have come here? Why you have entered in our neighborhood? Please get out. Please get out." Not "Please"; "Get out. Gow." (laughter)

So we are . . . we have cultivated a nice human society that there are all, I mean to say, what is called, dogs. The immigration department: " Ohhh . . . why you have come here? Gow!" (laughter) "Yes, sir, I have come here not to harm you. I have to speak something, nice thing." "How long you shall stay?" (laughter) "Oh, not more than one month." "All right. I give you . . ." (laughter) So immediately watchdog. In every house, "Beware of dog." "Don't enter. Beware of dog." This is human civilization. You see?

You cannot enter anyone's house, you cannot enter anyone's country. And if you do . . . this means this want of this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. But the Vedic culture says, gṛham śatrum api prāptaṁ viśvastam akuto bhayam. Even if your enemy comes to your home, you should receive him in such a way that he'll forget that you are his enemy.
