That is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Yasyāsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanā sarvair guṇais tatra samāsate surāḥ: "Anyone who has got devotion to the Lord, he is qualified with all the good qualities." Just like you are God conscious, so you have invited us to hear, because you . . . the good qualities are there. So without God consciousness there cannot be any good qualities.

We are making something for our convenience, but we are creating something else which is inconvenient. So this is due to godless civilization. But if we become God conscious, then our progress of civilization will be very peaceful and happy. Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇā mano-rathena asato dhāvato bahiḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 5.18.12|SB 5.18.12]]). That is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Yasyāsti bhaktir bhagavaty akiñcanā sarvair guṇais tatra samāsate surāḥ: "Anyone who has got devotion to the Lord, he is qualified with all the good qualities." Just like you are God conscious, so you have invited us to hear, because you . . . the good qualities are there.

So without God consciousness there cannot be any good qualities. We are trying to educate people to be honest, very very gentle, fair-dealing, but actually, the result is people are becoming dishonest, miscreant, rogue, thief, due to (lack of) God consciousness. Just like in the airport, all gentlemen are searched out. What does it mean? That every one of us dishonest. That is to be understood. So what the education has produced? Simply dishonest men. Why? Because godlessness. That's all.

And they are trying to become . . . every state is trying to become secular: "Don't talk of God." "Don't talk of God," then what you are? That is animal society. The animal society has no talk of God. There is only talk of how to fill up the belly. That's all. That is the business of hog. Śāstra says:

<div class="quote_verse">
:nāyaṁ deho deha-bhājāṁ nṛloke
:kaṣṭān kāmān arhate viḍ-bhujāṁ ye 
:([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.1|SB 5.5.1]])
</div>

Viḍ-bhujām. Viḍ-bhujām means the hogs, the stool-eaters. The stool-eater is also working very hard day and night and gratifying senses. So does the human civilization is meant for imitating the hogs and dogs to work very hard day and night and gratify the senses, that's all? This is the only program at the present moment.
