social welfare work is the business of dogs and cats

[Guest guest]

sent by bhakti vikasa swami-quoted from Tkg's diary,

 

"The next day another member of Parliament, Sri Ram Jethmalani, came to

visit Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada stressed again the importance of Krsna

consciousness, and Mr. Jethmalani was favorably impressed. Mr. Jethmalani

raised the question of whether there was any social welfare work to be done

by Krsna consciousness, and Prabhupada told him that such was simply the

business of dogs and cats. Our purpose was to end this material life. That

was the purpose of human life-not simply barking social welfare and getting

nothing done. Mr. Jethmalani, the most eminent lawyer of India, was highly

impressed. He promised to give all help for Srila Prabhupada's movement."
