Guest guest Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Prabhupada: Then description is there in the Sixteenth Chapter, exactly of the Western civilization. Read it. Hari-sauri: pravrttim ca nivrttim ca jana na vidur asurah na saucam napi cacaro na satyam tesu vidyate "Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done." Prabhupada: This is their first qualification. They do not know what is the aim of life. Ask anyone what is the aim of life. They cannot say, like animal. Animal does not know. Eat, sleep, sex. They do not know. This is the demon's first quality. In which way life should be directed, they do not know. They are missing that. Tamala Krsna: When I preach in the colleges, that's the first question I ask them. Not one person can answer. Never. Prabhupada: Aimless life. Aimless life, what they will not do? Everything they'll do for sense gratification, because there is no aim. Tamala Krsna: And the college never gives the answer, the teachers. 'Cause they themselves... Prabhupada: They do not know. The whole Western civilization they do not know what is the aim of life. Naturally the aim of life becomes like animals-eat, drink, have sex and defend. That's all. That is the Western civilization. They are busy for defense and sex arrangement and eating voraciously and sleeping. Tamala Krsna: The religions should be giving us answer. Prabhupada: The religion is only this Krsna consciousness. 770218r4.may Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
