<div class="heading">Yes. Because the one son of God is not allowing the other son to come in. And that he hasn't got the right to forbid. Just like your father has got ten sons. So all the tens sons have got the right to use the property of the father. That is law.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Conversation with Journalists -- August 18, 1971, London|Conversation with Journalists -- August 18, 1971, London]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: So far I am personally experienced, in our childhood there were not so many problems. Now India is faced with so many problems on account of imitating Western civilization.</p>
<p>Guest: Not simply because of the increased population?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is no question of increased population. This is, I say always, this is foolishness.</p>
<p>Guest: That's foolish?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. When you say "increase of population," it is a proposal of foolish persons.</p>
<p>Guest: Oh, so someone, someone who's foolish...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. Even the... Just like the birds and beast, they are also increasing their population. Yes. If you find one hole in the room, millions of ants will come out. So who is giving their food? There are millions of elephants in the forest. Who is giving their food? There are millions and trillions... There are 8,400,000 species of life. Out of that, eight million species are other than human being, and 400,000 species human being. Out of that, civilized persons are very few. And all the problems are in the civilized, so-called civilized population.</p>
<p>Guest: And that's because, you would say that we have the wrong...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, I, I... We are believer in God. You see. So we know God is the original father. He is supplying maintenance for everyone. So there is no question of increasing population. If there is increase of population, God has enough resources to feed them. It is not the question of increasing population. But what is the question of demonic civilization.</p>
<p>Journalist (1): Well, I was going to ask you about that, civilization.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Yes. That demonic civilization is creating problems. Not the increase of population. This is not the fact. Now, so far I have studied, that in America, in Africa, in Australia, there are so much vacant places that the present population of the world, if it is increased ten times, still there is enough food...</p>
<p>Journalist (1): And you think there's enough food.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: There is enough provisions. But we have made artificial divisions. "This is America." The Americans, they went from Europe, and they illegally occupied that place. Now they won't allow anyone to come there. Similarly, the Australians, they won't allow to come there. New Zealand, Africa. Why? Our philosophy: Everything belongs to God, and we are all sons of God. Everyone has got the right to live at the cost of God. This is our philosophy.</p>
<p>Journalist (1): But the values of Western civilization have made that...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Western civilization created artificial. "This is Africa, this is America, this is Europe..."</p>
<p>Journalist (1): Yes. Therefore that's made living as children of God impossible.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Because the one son of God is not allowing the other son to come in. And that he hasn't got the right to forbid. Just like your father has got ten sons. So all the tens sons have got the right to use the property of the father. That is law. Similarly, all the living entities, not only human beings. Birds, animals, birds, beasts—everyone. This is called spiritual, or transcendental, communism. According to Vedic civilization, a householder has to see that even a lizard in the room is not fasting, to see whether it has got his food. Even there is a snake in the house, the householder is to see whether the snake has got his food. A householder would stand on the street, and before taking his food, he will say loudly, "If anyone is hungry, please come. Still I have got my food." And if there is no response, then he takes prasādam.</p>
<p>Journalist (1): That's a very difficult doctrine for many people in civilization...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because... That is civilized. That is civilization. Animal civilization is that one dog, as soon as the other dog is coming: "Yow! Yow! Yow! Why you are coming? Why you have come?" Just like here. Here, everywhere. The immigration department, "Oh, how long you will stay? Oh." So many things. Why? A human being is coming... Vedic civilization is, even one is enemy, if he comes to your home, you receive him as, so friendly that he will forget that you are his enemy. Yes. That is...</p>
<p>Journalist (1): But it must be very difficult for you to...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. It is difficult because this civilization is demons. Just like India. India welcomed everyone. But the result was they occupied. Just like your English people. They were welcome. Lord Clive was welcome, but he intrigued to occupy India. And his statue is worshiped here. Because what is his credit? He made an intrigue, illegally entered India and made occupation. That is his credit and he is worshiped. That is Western civilization.</p>
