<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk Excerpts -- May 1, 1974, Bombay|Morning Walk Excerpts -- May 1, 1974, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: Kāma is the basic principle of material life. That is explained in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Puṁsāṁ striyā mithunī-bhāvam etad: "Both men and women, they are attracted in this material world for this sex life." Mithunī-bhāvam etad. Tayor mithaḥ. They are... Now, just see in this beach. They are coming all dressed, and the man is attracting woman; woman is attracting man. This is business, going on here.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: You are really... Oscar Wilde has written once...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, this is the fact. We can see it. We can see it. That's all. Everywhere the same business. In the Western world they are becoming more and more naked. You see? Mini, miniskirt.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: What they call it?</p>
<p>Bhāgavata: Streaking.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: No, no, no. What is that called, costume?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Topless. Topless.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Topless and bottomless.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: These things are going on. That means they are attracted. Attracted. Puṁsāṁ striyā mithunī-bhāvam etad. They'll dress. Woman will dress very nicely so that she can attract man, and man will also do something which will, he'll attract woman. Mithunī-bhāvam tayor mitha... In this way, when they are united-hṛdāya-granthim āhuḥ, a very strong knot: "Oh, you are mine. I am yours." (laughter) "You are mine. I am yours." In this way they pull on this material life. And then, gradually, "Now we must have good apartment to live and enjoy sex life." Puṁsāṁ striyā mithunī-bhāvam etad tayor mithaḥ hṛdāya-granthim āhuḥ, tathā gṛha. "Now have skyscraper building." Kṣetra: "Land. We must produce food grains." Tathā gṛha-kṣetra-suta: "We must have children."</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: No, but according to the Taittiriya Upaniṣad...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, this is... This is the material life.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: That's right. You are right.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: This is material... Tathā gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta. Apta: friends. I must show: "Just see how I have got big house, nice wife, good bank balance. Come and see. And just glorify me, 'Oh, you are very successful. Although you are going to be dog next life.' " This is going on. Atho gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vitta janasya moho 'yam. This is illusion. This is illusion. Janasya moho 'yam ahaṁ mameti: ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.8|SB 5.5.8]]) "Now I am such and such big man, minister." That's all. And he's... The minister is going to be dog next life. You see? That he does not know. Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmā... ([[Vanisource:BG 3.27|BG 3.27]]).</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: I don't think they should be dog, become dog. They should become hogs.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, dog or hog, but the same. There is no much difference. Śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 2.3.19|SB 2.3.19]]). These animals have been especially mentioned. Śva means dog, and viḍ-varāha means hog. Śva viḍ-varā...</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Viḍ-varāha: "dirty eating hog."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Vit. Vit means stool. Śva-viḍ-varāha-uṣṭra. Uṣṭra means camel, and khara means ass. So these gṛhamedhīs they have been described as the śva, viḍ-varāha, uṣṭra, khara. Bhāgavata is very strong (laughs) in criticizing. Therefore in the beginning it is said, dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo atra: ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.2|SB 1.1.2]]) "All types of cheating religion is rejected." Dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo atra. Kaitava means cheating. Śrīdhara Swāmī, he has... Paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ: "This Bhāgavata is meant for paramo nirmatsarāṇāṁ, those who are above this material existence, paramahaṁsas." Bhāgavata is not meant for ordinary men.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Who can make a distinction between milk and water.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. No, no, means he accepts only the milk, not the water. Similarly, this whole world is mixture of spirit and matter, so he rejects matter; he takes only spirit. That is paramahaṁsa. Go on.</p>
<p>Girirāja: "Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura points out that according to Bhagavad-gītā, the Brahmā day and the Brahmā night are periods of solar years expanding 4,300,000 multiplied by one thousand..." (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Four, I think. This one?</p>
<p>Satsvarūpa: Yes, 747. Jumbo.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is 447, yes. (break)</p>
<p>Bhāgavata: ...celebrate.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The celebration is you have to fast day and night and four times offer worship to the Lord Śiva.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: And drink bhang also.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, that is not recommended. But they can do... They do all now...</p>
<p>Bhāgavata: So we should observe this festival, Śrīla Prabhupāda?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not necessarily.</p>
<p>Bhāgavata: Not necessary.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Go on. (break) ...Tirupati. These rascals are getting money and investing for television.</p>
<p>Indian man (2): Industry.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You see? They should have given to us for distributing Kṛṣṇa consciousness all..., but these rascals will not do that.</p>
<p>Indian man (3): "In the Vedic scriptures, therefore, one is recommended to give charity to a brāhmaṇa."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Because they are not brāhmaṇa. All śūdras, Communist.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Janma jāyate śūdraḥ.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Especially, especially that Andhra government is Communist government.</p>
<p>Indian man (3): "And by so doing, one pleases Lord Viṣṇu and all the demigods. The pilgrims take bath, worship the Deity and give in charity. They are also recommended to fast one day." (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...that after attaining human form of body he is not degraded.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: That is wrong.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: It is wrong.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Kathopaniṣad says that (Sanskrit). People according to their...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, karma.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: ...knowledge and according to their karma, even they become these trees.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Indian man (3): "Vidyadhara himself says that even though he was a demigod, he was condemned to become a serpent. But because he was touched by the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, he immediately came to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He admitted, however, that in his previous life he was actually sinful." (break)</p>
