<div class="heading">Religion means to accept God. So if you are Muslim, I am Hindu, if I accept God, if You accept God, then where is fight? If we accept that God is the proprietor, God is the father, then where is the question of fight? Because we are not religious, therefore fight. Otherwise, if you accept God is the supreme father, if I accept God is the supreme, why fight? We have to go down?

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Room Conversation -- August 10, 1976, Tehran|Room Conversation -- August 10, 1976, Tehran]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Dayānanda: They say that "You may have so many wonderful philosophies, but our desire is just to enjoy life."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: That means animal. That means animal. Animal has no philosophy.</p>
<p>Nava-yauvana: Also they say that religions are the causes of war. In Lebanon now the Christians are killing the Muslims and the Muslims are killing the Christians in the name of...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: And the Communists are killing capitalists and capitalists are killing Communists. What is that? Is that religion? Then? How you can stop war? Because you are animal, you fight, you can give some name, either on religious ground or this philosophical ground. But because you are animal you will fight. You can give a different name. That is different thing. But because you are dogs, you'll fight. The real religion is why they will fight? Religion means to accept God. So if you are Muslim, I am Hindu, if I accept God, if You accept God, then where is fight? If we accept that God is the proprietor, God is the father, then where is the question of fight? Because we are not religious, therefore fight. Otherwise, if you accept God is the supreme father, if I accept God is the supreme, why fight? We have to go down?</p>
<p>Nava-yauvana: Everything you say, Prabhupāda, makes sense. Everything you say makes sense.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, our preaching should be sensible, then people will accept. After all, they are human being. There is sense, but by force they are covering the sense. So we have to awaken them by handling carefully, that's all. Caitanya Mahāprabhu, jīv jāgo, jīv jāgo gauracānda bole. Who are... Uttiṣṭhata jāgrata prāpya varan nibodhata. They are sleeping. We have awaken them, that's it. That is preaching. Even the animal-killing, where it is absolutely necessary... So according to any religious principle, there is God. Just like who was telling me? You were telling me about the lamb killing? The injunction is the mouth(?) should be toward Mecca. Is it like that?</p>
<p>Nava-yauvana: Yes, Prabhupāda.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So because there is no other way... Suppose in the desert, what they'll do? They must eat something, but still there is sense of God, there is some regulative principle.</p>
<p>Ātreya Ṛṣi: There is also principle of sacrifice with very strict regulations.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So in this way God consciousness must be there. That is civilization.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: You want to go down, Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm.</p>
<p>Hari-śauri: Jaya. (devotees offer obeisances) (end)</p>
