Here these boys and girls, although coming from different parts of the world . . . just like I am Indian. Why they should follow an Indian? From political point of view? No. But it is not . . . they are not on the material platform. Therefore they are taking my direction, although I am Indian, coming from a poor country. So this is the platform of unity: Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is the right education, and this is the platform of unity.

Now just see. They are trying to unite all nations, spending so much money. But here, see, we have attempted this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement: join. All parts of the world they have joined. From America they have joined, from Europe they have joined, Australia they have joined, Africa they have joined, India joined. But they have forgotten their nationalities. They are simply under Kṛṣṇa's flag. This is united nation. The rascal do not understand that how to unite. You cannot unite the whole people on this bodily concept of life. You have to unite them on the spiritual platform, paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ.

That is sama-darśinaḥ. Here these boys and girls, although coming from different parts of the world . . . just like I am Indian. Why they should follow an Indian? From political point of view? No. But it is not . . . they are not on the material platform. Therefore they are taking my direction, although I am Indian, coming from a poor country.

So this is the platform of unity: Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is the right education, and this is the platform of unity. Everything—all questions, all problems—can be solved by understanding this rāja-vidyā, the king of all knowledge.
