1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

Kṛṣṇa arranged, "All right, you come together and finish yourselves." So this arrangement will be done, that all atomic bomb will come in warfield—one, next, third war. Finished. All these, all these demons will be finished. That is not kṣatriya. This is demonic. Kṣatriyas' business is to see that the four orders of life are maintained properly, not increasing military strength only, overburdened. Everyone is spending 75% of the revenue for military. Huh? Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām (BG 4.8). So they are demons. Why so much money should be spent for military? They are not kṣatriyas.

Hari-śauri: Proletariat.

Prabhupāda: What is that proletariat?

Satsvarūpa: The laborers, who actually work.

Prabhupāda: That's all. These rascals are giving stress on the legs. And the capitalists, they are giving stress on production.

Hari-śauri: Trade. Production.

Prabhupāda: And where is the kṣatriya and brāhmaṇa?

Prabhupāda: That is not kṣatriya's business. That is . . . that is . . . no, that is described. Kṛṣṇa said He arranged the battlefield because the kṣatriyas, they became very powerful by individual military strength, as it is now . . .

Hari-śauri: Accumulation.

Prabhupāda: Hah. So Kṛṣṇa arranged, "All right, you come together and finish yourselves." So this arrangement will be done, that all atomic bomb will come in warfield—one, next, third war. Finished. All these, all these demons will be finished. That is not kṣatriya. This is demonic. Kṣatriyas' business is to see that the four orders of life are maintained properly, not increasing military strength only, overburdened. Everyone is spending 75% of the revenue for military. Huh? Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām (BG 4.8). So they are demons. Why so much money should be spent for military? They are not kṣatriyas. They are not kṣatriyas; they are demons. So demons . . . as soon as there will be number of demons increased, there will be war and finish, all.
