Prabhupāda: Now, happy attitude. Now the cow are going to be killed. They know it, that "We are going to be killed." They're also intelligent living entity. So how they can be happy? If some human being concentrated in a camp, and they know that "We are going to be killed," can they be happy? So if one is not happy, if the cow is not happy, can she supply sufficient milk? No. No. Therefore just they were happy.
Therefore milk was supplied so much that the grazing ground became wet with milk. Muddy. With milk, not with water. So we, we have no intelligence how to live. We . . . our Bhagavad-gītā says, kṛṣi-go-rakṣya vaiśya. Means kṛṣi-go-rakṣya, to protect cows. Nowadays not to protect cows—to kill cows. Just see, business. Vaiśya means businessman. So vaiśya's business is kṛṣi-go-rakṣya-vāṇijyaṁ vaiśya-karma svabhāva-jam (BG 18.44). But no go-rakṣya. Cutting the throat of go. This kind of sinful activities are going on, and they want to be happy. Instead of giving protection to the cows . . . in the Bible also it is said that the animals are given under the protection of the human being.
Devotee: Man, yes.
Prabhupāda: Man. The protection means to kill them. Just see. They have interpreted like that, that "The animals have been given to us to kill them and eat." This is their interpretation.
Ambassador: Swāmījī, I have taken so much already . . . you have been so kind.
Prabhupāda: No, it is very kind of you that you have come.
Ambassador: No, it's all on you.
Prabhupāda: Give him prasāda.
Haṁsadūta: Yeah, we're preparing prasādam.
Prabhupāda: Please.
Haṁsadūta: Purīs and nice rice.
Prabhupāda: So we are simply trying to revive people's dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So every sane man, every good government, everyone should come forward to help this movement. It is not a personal affair. We are not presenting that, "I am avatāra. I am God." We are presenting science, philosophy. You see? Why we are taking so much trouble to write so many books? If we . . .
We want to convince people through science, philosophy, logic, religious principle, by practical behavior. All these boys are being trained up not to have any illicit sex, not to eat meat and not to take any intoxication up to tea, coffee, cigarette, and not to indulge in gambling. They're doing that. So we are making man of character, man of religion, man of philosophy. Why people should not cooperate with us? We are not presenting any blind, so-called religious faith. No. That is not our business. Our business is caitanyera-dayā kathā karaha vicāra. You understand little Bengali? You understand Hindi.
Ambassador: Yes.
Prabhupāda:
- caitanyera-dayā kathā karaha vicāra
- vicāra karile citte pābe camatkāra
- (CC Adi 8.15)
If you are sane man, if you give due consideration and then give your judgment, then you'll find that it is wonderful. Caitanya-dayā kathā karaha vicāra. We don't say that you take it blindly. No. Vicāra. After full logic and consideration you accept, not blindly. But if you do that, you'll see it is wonderful. It is wonder . . . so why those who are advanced in education, they should not take this movement seriously and try to understand seriously and cooperate with us? It is not a blind thing. So . . . actually, from government level we are not getting any support. Not . . . I don't speak in India. Anywhere.
