Lectures

Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

One of the thieves was speaking, "Please divide the property morally." Now, the property's stolen property, and they are speaking of "morally." Devil cites scripture. Similarly, you Americans, you have come from Europe, you have stolen this property. Now you are speaking of morality. So not you; everyone. Nothing belongs to us. There is no question of morality unless one surrenders to Kṛṣṇa. Everything immoral for a person who is not Kṛṣṇa conscious. Everything immoral.

People are going on under two impressions. Somebody, the karmīs, they are thinking, "I am enjoyer. I am the lord of all I survey. This America is mine. You cannot enter." So this is the karmīs' position. Falsely they are claiming proprietorship, which does not belong to them. Thieves, rather; they are thieves, rogues. There is a story that a, a group of thieves, they plundered some booty, some property, somewhere, and then, out of the town, they were dividing. So one of the thieves was speaking, "Please divide the property morally." Now, the property's stolen property, and they are speaking of "morally." Devil cites scripture. Similarly, you Americans, you have come from Europe, you have stolen this property. Now you are speaking of morality.

So not you; everyone. Nothing belongs to us. There is no question of morality unless one surrenders to Kṛṣṇa. Everything immoral for a person who is not Kṛṣṇa conscious. Everything immoral. Therefore Caitanya-caritāmṛta says:

'dvaite' bhadrābhadra-sakale samana
'ei bhāla, ei manda' saba mana dharma
(CC Antya 4.176)

In this material world, which is called duality, these, our listing, "These things are good. These things are bad," bhadra abhadra—bhadra means good; abhadra means bad—these are all the same. It is simply mental concoction.
