This is foolishness, that without knowledge of the root, you want to love the branches. Your body. You love your body. Why do you supply your food in the stomach? Why not to the eyes, to the ears, to the nose? Why not individually, every finger, every hand, every part, every hair? No. As soon as you put the foodstuff to the stomach, the energy is at once distributed everywhere. Similarly, universal love means to love God.
They do not know the technique. Just this man, this hunter, he loved God, he became lover of the ant automatically. There was no need of separate education that, "You love this ant, you love this cow, you love this tree, love this country, love this man, love white man, black man, this man . . ." No. As soon as you love God, and you understanding what is God, then you love everything. In the Bhagavad-gītā it is said that:
- sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya
- sambhavanti mūrtayaḥ yāḥ
- tāsāṁ mahad yonir brahma
- ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā
- (BG 14.4)
People are accepting Bhagavad-gītā as something Indian or Hindu, but actually it is not. It is universal. Kṛṣṇa says that there are so many forms of living entities. There are 8,400,000's of different types of bodies. "And all of them are My sons." So if you love Kṛṣṇa, then you love white man, you love American, you love European, you love Indian, you love cow, you love dog, you love serpent—everything.
So we have to know the techniques. Simply by theoretical knowledge you cannot make any improvement. These are practical example. Because there is no love for God at the present moment, all this nonsense universal love, fraternity, are going to hell. Therefore we are interested in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. You have to change your consciousness, make it full with Kṛṣṇa, or God. Then everything will be all right.
All right. Thank you. And if you kindly come and inquire in this way, we shall be very glad to answer as far as possible. Now let us have little kīrtana. It is quarter to nine. Please join with this kīrtana, Hare Kṛṣṇa.
