Srimad Bhagavatam Lecture Canto 1 Ch.10 text 4... London...November 25 1973

 

So the mah…, the land, the land is there. Just like in America or in

Australia there are so much land. In Africa, so much land lying vacant. But

they do not know that this land can produce all the needs of life.

Sarva-k€ma- dugh€ mah…. Sarva-k€ma, whatever you want. Actually we are

getting…

Just like this Western civilization has created so may slaughterhouse for

eating purposes. But wherefrom they are getting? From mah…, from the land.

If there is no pasturing ground, grazing ground, wherefrom they will get the

cows and the bulls? That is also… Because there is grass on the land and the

cows and bulls eat them, therefore they grow. Then you cut their throat,

civilized man, and eat, you rascal civilized man. But you are getting from

the mah…, from the land. Without land, you cannot. Similarly, instead of

cutting the throat of the cows, you can grow your food.

Why you are cutting the throat of the cows? After all, you have to get from

the mah…, from the land. So as they are, the animal which you are eating,

they are getting their eatables from the land. Why don’t you get your

eatables from the land? Therefore it is said, sarva-k€ma-dugh€ mah…. You can

get all the necessities of your life from land. So dugh€ means produce. You

can produce your food. Some land should be producing the foodstuff for the

animals, and some land should be used for the production of your foodstuffs,

grains, fruits, flowers, and take milk. Why should you kill these innocent

animals? You take. You keep them mud€, happy, and you get so much milk that

it will moist, it will make wet the ground. This is civilization. This is

civilization.
