This is not a proper civilization. Simply concentrating on these four different bodily necessities of life—eating, sleeping, mating and defending—no. This life is not meant for, simply for this hard work like animals, and satisfy oneself by sex life. This is hog’s life. The hog is also working whole day very hard, eating all nonsense, and very much satisfied with sex life. This life is for voluntarily giving oneself for understanding what is God. That is necessary.

In the Times of London there was a newspaper heading, "Kṛṣṇa Chant Startles London." You see? So it is a genuine movement, and if you want to learn about God, and if you want to develop your dormant loving spirit for God, then take to this movement. That is our request. Take to this movement.

And that is required, because human life and animal life, the difference is that there is God. The animals do not know what is God. A man can know. Similarly, if we remain without knowing God, then we are simply animals. We are no better than animals. What is the use of becoming a human being? Eating, sleeping, mating—that is also animal’s business.

They rather exceed. You can beget children after three or four years’ work, but the animals and the birds, they can beget children one dozen at a time, and twice in a year. So your capacity for begetting children is not very much greater, you see? So eating—the hog can eat anything, any damn thing, up to stool.

So you cannot compete with the hog even in the matter of eating. So there are . . . for living you are thinking that, "I shall live for hundred years." What is your life? The trees, they are living for seven thousand years. Huh? Seven thousand years. In San Francisco I saw one tree in the . . . what is that?

Devotee: Muir Woods.

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. The one boy, somebody said that this tree was seven thousand years old. So what is the use of such lives? Seven thousand or seven millions of years standing in one place. Similarly without, I mean to say, understanding your relationship with God, what is the use of living? A tree can live more than you. What is the use of eating, and what is the use of mating, and what is the use of defending?

So this is not a proper civilization. Simply concentrating on these four different bodily necessities of life—eating, sleeping, mating and defending—no. This life is not meant for, simply for this hard work like animals, and satisfy oneself by sex life. This is hog’s life. The hog is also working whole day very hard, eating all nonsense, and very much satisfied with sex life. This life is for voluntarily giving oneself for understanding what is God. That is necessary.

So we are dealing with this subject matter authoritatively from Vedic literature. It is coming since a very long time, so there is no bluff, there is no charge; there is no particular type of labor. You can take advantage of this, and you are always welcome, and I think you shall take this matter seriously and attend this meeting. Thank you very much.
