I was going to ask you, Swami, if the sacred cow was a symbol symbolizing compassion for all living creatures?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Not only cow. Any animal, they should be object of our compassion. If we want to eat something and live, so if you have got sufficient foodstuff in other kingdom... We have got vegetables, we have got grains, we have got milk. So many things. Fruit, flower. So many things. Just like we are living on these things. We don&amp;#039;t feel any inconvenience. And they are... According to medical science also, they are very rich in vitamins, food value. So why should we kill? Especially if we are human being, the cow is supplying us milk, the most important foodstuff. So instead of giving protection to the cow, if we kill, do you think that is very..., if you kill me, is that very good gratitude? So at least in the human life, these senses should be there. Cow protection is recommended in the Vedic literature because it is giving the most valuable foodstuff, milk. Apart from other sentiments, it is supplying, and in exchange of nothing. She simply eats some grasses from the ground. That&amp;#039;s all. You don&amp;#039;t have to provide cows with foodstuff. The things which you refuse, you take the grain and you supply the skin. You take the fruit pulp, you supply the skin. You take the, I mean to say, from paddy. You take the rice. You supply the straw and she delivers you a very nice foodstuff. And I have discussed all these points in my Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, that human economic problem can be solved simply by having some land and some cows. That&amp;#039;s all.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When you say engineer, that means qualified engineer, not born engineer. Engineer is not born. &amp;quot;Because his father is engineer, he is engineer.&amp;quot; And what is this? You become engineer. Guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ. Cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭam ([[Vanisource:BG 4.13|BG 4.13]]). There must be qualification and work; otherwise what kind of brāhmaṇa? (Hindi) These are all milk preparation. We can make so many hundreds and thousands of milk preparation. Instead of cutting the throat of the cows, why don&amp;#039;t you use her milk? Dallas is a great place for cutting the throat of cows?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Śyāmasundara: All over Texas.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Guest (2): Fort Worth.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Śyāmasundara: Where we went to that television show today, that was Fort Worth. That&amp;#039;s another city. They have more slaughterhouses.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Guest (2): I had some arguments about this. Some people won&amp;#039;t eat cow. They say, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not Indian cow, so we can eat it.&amp;quot; (laughs) All kinds of intelligent arguments.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Indian people say like that?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Guest (2): Some of them, not all. It&amp;#039;s not said, anybody. It&amp;#039;s just argument of people that... Even Americans. People, they say, &amp;quot;We are not killing your sacred cow because your sacred cow is in your country.&amp;quot; It was long ago, I remember. During lunch break we had some argument.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Then what are these? American cows?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Guest (2): Yes. They said, &amp;quot;Our cows are not holy.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Apaśyatām ātma-tattvaṁ gṛheṣu gṛha-medhinām ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]). They are blind. They do not know about self. Apaśyatām ātma-tattvaṁ gṛheṣu gṛha-medhinām ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.2|SB 2.1.2]]). Parābhavas tāvad abodha-jāto yāvan na jijñāsata ātma-tattvam. Everyone is born fool. So fool&amp;#039;s activities means defeat. So human life, although born fool, they should have knowledge. Without knowledge all their activities are defeat of life, parābhava. So long he is not inquisitive to understand what is his self, whatever he is doing, it is simply for his defeat, parābhava.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

All our sinful activities, the so-called scientists are helping, &amp;quot;Yes, you can do this.&amp;quot; And the church is sanctioning. This is going on. The Christian religion says, &amp;quot;Thou shalt not kill,&amp;quot; and they are now teaching, &amp;quot;yes, you can kill the child. You have killed cows and so many things, that is all right. Again you kill your child.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Guest (1): Swami, can I ask you a very silly question which has been asked to us a lot of times and we don&amp;#039;t have a satisfactory answer, to whit: why is the cow sacred and not the other animals?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Because it gives milk.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Guest (1): But there are a lot... Buffaloes give milk too.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Not so much.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Guest (1): In larger quantities.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: But, milk means it is scientifically proven, milk means cow&amp;#039;s milk.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Prabhupāda: Before this, one Monmohan Gosh, Dr. Monmohan Gosh, he was pathologist in medical college. He proved the antiseptic properties of gobara. He was Dr. Gosh&amp;#039;s friend. So he was working in his laboratory also. I know. Long ago.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
