At the present moment, the world is missing God, or they are rejecting, demonic. There are two classes of men always. One is called devatā, godly, and the other is called demon, asura, or satanic. Whatever you call, the two classes. So those who are God conscious, they are godly. And those who have no God consciousness, they are demonic, or satanic.

Lord Brockway: And I know little about your religion and your philosophy. I do not belong to any religious denomination, though I believe in the spiritual basis of the universe.

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Lord Brockway: And the great moments of inspiration are those rare moments when you feel you belong to all of life, from the beginning of time, now, everywhere.

Prabhupāda: No, our preaching is also on that point, that God is one, and we are all sons of God.

(aside:) Call our paṇḍita.

In the... I think you have read Bhagavad-gītā.

Lord Brockway: Yes.

Prabhupāda: There it is stated,

<div class="quote_verse">
:sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya
:sambhavanti mūrtayaḥ yāḥ
:tāsāṁmahad yonir brahma
:ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā

Lord Kṛṣṇa says that there are different species of life, yoni. According to Padma Purāṇa there are 8,400,000 species of different forms of life. So Kṛṣṇa claims that "All these living entities in different forms of life, I am the seed-giving father of all of them, and the material nature is the mother." Just like father impregnates with the seed, and the mother gives the body, similarly, God impregnates material nature with all kinds of living entities—not in different forms, but the original seed. And according to one's karma, he comes out in different types of bodies. The body is given by material nature, and the life is given by God. This is the sum and substance. And therefore God is one, and He's the father of everyone.

As such, without the center point, God consciousness, we cannot substantiate the ideas of universal brotherhood. Because if the center is missing, then how we can think of universal brotherhood? If we accept God is the center point, father, then I can understand you are my brother, because you are also son of God; I am also son of God. But I am missing the father, then we miss also our mutual relationship. Therefore in the Bhagavad-gītā it is said, paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 5.18|BG 5.18]]). One who is learned, he does not make any distinction between a tree or a man or animal or a brāhmaṇa or a caṇḍāla, because he sees that within the body there is the soul, and the soul is spirit, part and parcel of God. That is his vision.

(aside:) You can take Bhagavad-gītā and... Read the Sixteenth Chapter.

So at the present moment, the world is missing God, or they are rejecting, demonic. There are two classes of men always. One is called devatā, godly, and the other is called demon, asura, or satanic. Whatever you call, the two classes. So those who are God conscious, they are godly. And those who have no God consciousness, they are demonic, or satanic. So these two classes of men are always there. But at the present moment, the number of demonic or satanic consciousness, they have increased. Yes. So the symptoms of the demonic people are described in the Bhagavad-gītā.
