<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- June 17, 1976, Toronto|Room Conversation -- June 17, 1976, Toronto]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: They've lost their religious sentiment, religious consciousness. They're just like rude, crude. There was one chief minister in Punjab, he got a big business, big man, "Mr. such and such, I'm sending such and such man. Give him ten thousand rupees without waiting for his reply." "So what for?" "Why you are asking? Give him ten thousand rupees." And the man goes, and he has to pay; otherwise he knows that "This minister will harass me in so many ways later on."</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: They are called public servants, the so-called government officials.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Even your country, there are so many bogus institutes. There was one Mr. Bogart. I used to call him Bogus. Bogart is a title?</p>
<p>Jagadīśa: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: His business is he has got some institute in the United Nations building, and he has got some office also. That means some poor country, poor, "Give me, give me charity," propaganda. And he will officially present some application to the Ford Foundation, and the trustees will give him money. There is no poverty-stricken application, but through this institution.... And there is clique, between the.... They are always.... That trustee came, that Desai?</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: In South Africa?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In Durban? Yes. They were taking money. Somebody told me.</p>
<p>Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: His grandfather left two hundred thousand dollars to be given to charity in his last will and testament, and they're scheming how to keep the money.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Everywhere.</p>
<p>Jagadīśa: Is it because they are killing the cows that this is happening, Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So many things. In India there is no.... At least gentlemen, they do not eat meat. But the thing is that when there is fire, so everyone will suffer. If there is fire in this building, either you are sinful or not sinful, the effects will be shared by you.</p>
