This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the only humanitarian work who can save the human society. All are helping them to go to hell. This is a fact. All are helping simply... So many innocent human beings are being slaughtered by education, by culture, by so-called society, friendship... It is very vicious cycle.


Lecture on SB 1.15.30 -- Los Angeles, December 8, 1973:

So those who are not attained to this stage, first stage is how to become free from sinful ac . . . anartha. Anartha you don't require, but you are habituated. And māyā is so strong. You don't require to smoke, but the māyā is advertising, "Here is one cool cigarette," or "this hot cigarette," or this . . . you see? This is called māyā. You don't require it. It has no existence. There is no pleasure, but still you are attached to it. That is called māyā, illusion. That is called illusion. So we have got so friend, so nice friends all over the world, that we . . . what you do not require, that is . . . they are simply allurimous: "Here is whisky, here is this wine, here is that wine, here is this woman, here is this illicit sex, here is this cigarette, here is meat-eating, here is . . ." This is going on.

So therefore this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the only humanitarian work who can save the human society. All are helping them to go to hell. This is a fact. All are helping simply . . . so many innocent human beings are being slaughtered, you see, by education, by culture, by so-called society, friendship . . . it is very vicious cycle. Therefore here it is said, Kṛṣṇa sai . . . Arjuna says, yathā . . . saṅgrāma-mūrdhani, kāla-karma-tamo-ruddham: this nice instruction of Bhagavad-gītā becomes choked up by the time, kāla. The time, you know, everyone, time's business is to destroy. You construct very nice house—ten years or, say, five years after, you have to again repair it, because the time has destroyed it, so many things. So time . . . time destroys. This is the business of time, kāla.

And karma. Our karma, because we are always engaged in sinful activities, karma . . . kāla, karma, and tama, ignorance. Ignorance. Tama means darkness, and the symptom of tamo-guṇa is laziness and sleep. Those who are lazy and sleeping, you must know he's under the influence of tamo-guṇa. And rajo-guṇa: always acting foolishly. Just like these people are running. They're rajo-guṇa. But actually in this world there are two guṇas—raja and tama, ignorance and foolishly active. Foolish active is very dangerous. There are four classes: lazy intelligent, busy intelligent, and lazy foolish and active foolish. (laughter) The active foolish is the fourth-class man. So at the present moment they're very active, but they're all foolish. Therefore the world is in danger. Active foolishness. Foolish, if he stops, he does not work, it is better. But as soon as he becomes active he becomes more dangerous.
