Let . . . people are suffering. Let them have this knowledge and be happy. Our proposal is sarve sukhino bhavantu. That is Vedic civilization: "You all be happy." The Vedic civilization is not "Oh, here is very nice boy. Oh, you have got money. Let me exploit you and bluff you and take your money." That is not Vedic civilization. Vedic civilization is to think, "Oh, let everyone be happy." Sarve sukhino bhavantu: "Everyone be happy.".

Prabhupāda: The materialistic way of life means to increase and create problems. That is not perfect human civilization. The perfect human civilization is that you have to sit very calmly quietly and philosophically think, "How to solve the problem? Where I shall get the knowledge?" This is human possible.
The whole Vedic instruction is like that: "Now you utilize this form of life to make a solution of this problem. Don't die . . . before death comes, you make a solution. Don't die like cats and dogs." No. And one who tries . . . the Veda says, etad viditvā yaḥ prayāti sa brāhmaṇaḥ: "One who dies after attempting to make a solution of the problems, he is brahmin." And one who dies like cats and dog, he is called kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇa means a very less intelligent man.

So we should not die like cats and dog. We should die like brahmin. Even in one life this solution is not made, then you get next life opportunity. Just like all these boys who have come to us, it is to be understood that they tried in their last life also for making a solution of this problem, but it was not finished; there is another opportunity. These things are stated in the Bhagavad-gītā.

So now, this life, you should be determined. Those who are coming to the touch of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and initiated to execute, they should be very determined that, "In this life we shall make a solution. No more . . . no more coming again." That should be our determination.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is for this purpose—to make a solution to all the problems of life and go back to home, back to Godhead, where we get eternal, blissful life of knowledge. This is the sum and substance of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. What do you think, our Australian friend? What is your name?

Alfred: Alfred.

Prabhupāda: Alfred?

Alfred: Alfred.

Prabhupāda: Humphrey?

Devotee: No, no, no.

Alfred: Alfred. Yes.

Prabhupāda: Alfred.

Devotee: He's from Austria.

Prabhupāda: So, very good. So you try to understand this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement and just start a center in your country.

Alfred: No, there is no center.

Prabhupāda: No chance?

Alfred: Well, we can start one.

Lady devotee: We can start one. We can start a center.

Alfred: Yes, maybe, maybe.

Prabhupāda: Why not? There are also human being. Why not? Let . . . people are suffering. Let them have this knowledge and be happy. Our proposal is sarve sukhino bhavantu. That is Vedic civilization: "You all be happy." The Vedic civilization is not "Oh, here is very nice boy. Oh, you have got money. Let me exploit you and bluff you and take your money." That is not Vedic civilization. Vedic civilization is to think, "Oh, let everyone be happy." Sarve sukhino bhavantu: "Everyone be happy."

So we are preaching this Kṛṣṇa consciousness cult. It is not a cult; it is an actual, the fact for solving all problems. People should know. And if he is intelligent, he'll accept it. If he's intelligent. Because kṛṣṇa yei bhaje sei baḍa catura. Without being very intelligent, nobody can become Kṛṣṇa conscious. It is not possible. Less intelligent persons cannot do it. It is meant for the first-class intelligent man.
