If you are accustomed to kill somebody, either man, animal, trees, fish, anything, there is no entrance in religious life. There is no entrance because everyone, every living entity, is son of God. Sarva-yoniṣu. You have read Bhagavad-gītā.

Prabhupāda: The tree has taken birth. The man has taken birth. Why simply man should be saved, not the cows, not the trees? He must be saved. This is the government's duty. Unnecessarily there cannot be any killing. Lord Christ also, "Thou shall not kill." Yes, this is the beginning of religious life. If you are accustomed to kill somebody, either man, animal, trees, fish, anything, there is no entrance in religious life. There is no entrance because everyone, every living entity, is son of God. Sarva-yoniṣu. You have read Bhagavad-gītā. Sarva-yoniṣu: in all sources of birth. Sarva-yoniṣu sambhavanti mūrtayo yaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 14.4 (1972)|BG 14.4]]). There are different forms of life, 8,400,000. They are all living entities, but according to karma, they have got different bodies. This is the difference. Just like we have got different dresses according to my choice, similarly, we get different bodies according to my choice. This morning we were talking about the sufferers . . . what is called? The sea sufferers?

Devotees: Surfers.

Prabhupāda: Surfer, yes. (devotees laugh) Surfer. I call "sufferer." (laughter) "Sea-sufferer." (laughter) Sea-surfer, it is practical, because we are creating a situation by which we shall become a fish. (laughter) Yes. Contamination. Just like if you purposely contaminate some disease, you must suffer from that disease. Kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya sad-asad janma-yoniṣu ([[Vanisource:BG 13.22 (1972)|BG 13.22]]), in the Bhagavad-gītā. Why there are different varieties of life? What is the reason? That reason means kāraṇam.
