<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- February 16, 1977, Mayapura|Room Conversation -- February 16, 1977, Mayapura]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Āra. So these things will be accepted by kṛṣṇa-bhakta, etaj jñānam. So whatever Kṛṣṇa has said, that is knowledge, vidyā. Everything nonsense. Therefore so boldly we say, "All rascaldom." Never mind. That's a fact. That is a fact. Anyone... Harāv abhaktasya kuto mahad-guṇāḥ. Anyone who is not devotee of Kṛṣṇa, bhagavad-bhakta-useless. Jaḍa-bidyā jato māyāra vaibhava, jībake karaye gādhā. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has said. By this so-called material education, one is already gādhā, go-khara, dehātma-buddhi, and he becomes still more, another staunch gādhā. Now, if you speak the straight truth they'll be angry. Mūrkhāyopadeśo hi. But this is fact.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: You can speak, Śrīla Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I speak. I said in Melbourne, "United Nations is association of barking dogs."</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: You have that expert quality.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. I cannot check myself.</p>
<p>Pradyumna: You say that. You get so angry at seeing it, you...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (laughs) Krodha bhakta-dveṣi-jane. That is Narottama Ṭhākura's instruction. You must be very angry, those who are against God and devotee, very angry. Utilize your anger for them. Krodha bhakta-dveṣi-jane. That anger is service. Kṛṣṇa-sebā kāmārpaṇe. For Kṛṣṇa's service one should be mad. Kāma-krodha should be given up, but a bhakta does not give up. Utilize it. A bhakta should be very much for kamut(?) serving Kṛṣṇa. And he must utilize his anger for the bhakta-dveṣi, those who are not devotee. Kṛṣṇa-sebā kāmārpaṇe krodha bhakta-dveṣi-jane. We have nothing to give up like Māyāvādī. Kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, mātsarya. Mātsarya may... That has to be... A bhakta cannot be envious. If a bhakta is angry upon them, that is not envious. That is for good. A bhakta should not be envious. Otherwise how he can preach? He's merciful. Even if he's angry, it is mercy. Therefore this mātsarya has no use for bhakta. Other things, they have use, kāma, krodha, lobha, moha, not mātsarya. Mātsarya is very bad.</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Envy?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Envy, yes. So Panihati is hopeful, is not...</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Yes. If this MLA actually pushes it through, then in one month...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In that MLA that gentleman is very intelligent.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Young man.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: He's ambitious. Ambitious.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ambitious for Kṛṣṇa, everyone should be ambitious: "How I shall become a great devotee?" That is very good. Yes. Again finger problem. (laughs) So electric is not working? Just see. In the evening, we..., people want light. No light.</p>
<p>Jayapatākā: It works the whole day. Only in the evening it goes off.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Whole night also. Only evening, when you require it... (laughter) India's material advancement is artificial. They are not fit for it. In America, so long, no electricity every day? People would become mad. There would have been a revolution. Huh? Is it not?</p>
