<div class="heading">The communists, as they making, that the state is the proprietor of everything, so what is the harm of accepting God as the proprietor of everything? What is the harm? He is giving up his own right. The state is the proprietor. So why not make "God is the proprietor"? What is the harm? And actually, God is the proprietor. Now, this lake, it is not made by the state. It is made by God.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- June 2, 1974, Geneva|Morning Walk -- June 2, 1974, Geneva]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Yogeśvara: This is where they go water skiing.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Water skiing?</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: Yes. They stand on two pieces of wood and they hold on to a rope, and a fast boat pulls them along the water, like that.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh. Like, what you have? Surfer? Surfer?</p>
<p>Karandhara: Surfing. Yeah, similar.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Surfing. Surfing or suffering? (laughter) Unnecessarily, whole day and night they are... This is also another example of māyā. He is actually suffering, but he's thinking, enjoying. It always remains calm and quiet? There is no waves?</p>
<p>Guru-gaurāṅga: Sometimes. In the morning it's very calm.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But there cannot be any big waves.</p>
<p>Guru-gaurāṅga: No. Not like ocean. (break)</p>
<p>Bhagavān: They are importing dogs in India now, I think.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Ah.</p>
<p>Bhagavān: European dogs.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: (laughing) First of all, they were importing European masters, and now they are importing dogs. Now they will have to import European brāhmaṇas. Yes. Because in India all the brāhmaṇas are now finished. So for their ritualistic ceremony they will have to import from Europe, America. Long ago... Long ago, not long ago, about four, five years ago, I wrote this fact. (break) ...the communists, as they making, that the state is the proprietor of everything, so what is the harm of accepting God as the proprietor of everything? What is the harm? He is giving up his own right. The state is the proprietor. So why not make "God is the proprietor"? What is the harm? And actually, God is the proprietor. Now, this lake, it is not made by the state. It is made by God. They are claiming this is Swiss lake. What is that?</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: Geneva lake.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Geneva lake. And a few steps forward, a French lake. So either to the French or Geneva, it does not belong. It belongs to God. He's a fool. Why don't you say, "God's lake"?</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: We could propose them that they change the name, but I think they might be afraid it would drive away the tourists.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Harer nāma harer nāma harer nāma eva kevalam... ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Adi 17.21]]). (end)</p>
