Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

In the Western countries, the younger generation are becoming too much addicted to this intoxication, LSD habit, and it has become a problem to the government, and they have established so many institutions to stop this habit, but they have failed. But they are seeing wonderful result amongst our camp, that simply coming to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they have given all intoxication. It is practical.

Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇāḥ (SB 5.8.12). Mahad-guṇāḥ, good qualities, good characteristics, good behavior, moral qualities, cannot be developed if one is not Kṛṣṇa conscious. That is not possible. If people are simply paid to be Kṛṣṇa conscious, then the state will save so much expense. Because they have to maintain huge establishment to stop criminal activities. But if people become devotees, there will be no more criminal activities. That's a fact.

Therefore it is the duty of everyone to train everyone. Just like the parents: they should train their children to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. The state should encourage how people can become Kṛṣṇa conscious. Then automatically all the good qualities will come. Now, actually, in the United States the government is realizing the importance of our Movement, because the government has failed to stop this intoxication habit, LSD.

In the Western countries, the younger generation are becoming too much addicted to this intoxication, LSD habit, and it has become a problem to the government, and they have established so many institutions to stop this habit, but they have failed. But they are seeing wonderful result amongst our camp, that simply coming to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, they have given all intoxication. It is practical. They have given up.

So some of the institutions, government, they are inviting us, that "How you can help?" So we say that "Our process is simple. We cannot take any other process. Our process is that if anyone wants to be cured from this bad habit, then let him come, live with us. That's all. Sit down here. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. See the ārati and take prasādam." And there is no . . . we don't supply any tea or coffee. No. We cannot supply. And nobody grudges also, that "you are not supplying us tea or coffee or cigarettes." No.
