Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Social worker: What you call "ideal character" is only your opinion. It may not be ideal to someone else. Srila Prabhupada: No, it is not my opinion -- it is the verdict of the sastra. Opinion -- what is the value of opinion when the people are like dogs and asses? What is the use of taking the opinion of an ass? This vox populi -- taking the opinion of the public -- is degrading modern society. If the public is composed of drunkards, smokers, meat eaters, gamblers, and woman hunters, then what is the value of their opinion? Why take the opinion of fourth-class men? What Krsna says -- that is the standard. Krsna is the supreme, and His version is final. No other opinion is allowed. When I introduced the principle "No illicit sex life," I didn't ask for opinions -- "It must be done." >From BTG 12-08, 1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
