Conversations and Morning Walks

1974 Conversations and Morning Walks

There are many persons, citizens, of the state. The law is not that, "It is for the Christians," "It is for the Jews," "It is for the Negroes," "It is for the white man." It is not like that. Law is the same for everyone. You can call it, "This is Negro law," "This is white law," "This is black law . . ." No.

Prabhupāda: If you do not know what is God, what is His law, that is another thing. But the religion means to abide by the laws of God, that's all. It cannot be Hindu, Muslim, Christian. Just like the state law. So there are many persons, citizens, of the state. The law is not that, "It is for the Christians," "It is for the Jews," "It is for the Negroes," "It is for the white man." It is not like that. Law is the same for everyone. You can call it, "This is Negro law," "This is white law," "This is black law . . ." No. That is not very scientific. Scientific is that God is there, and we are all . . . God is great, we are all subordinates, and we have to obey the orders of God. That is religion. Am I right or wrong?

Reporter (3): You're right.

Prabhupāda: Therefore you cannot say, "Christian religion," "Hindu religion," "Muslim religion." Religion is religion. That's . . . God is neither Hindu, Muslim, Christian. God is God. God is one. We . . . it may be that God is one, but we understand Him from different angles of vision, and that different angles of vision may be called as Christian angle vision, the Hindu angle vision, this Jew's angle vision. But that is angle of vision. Just like the sun is there. Here we see it is not so bright, but you ask some Arabian friend, "What is . . ." he will say: "It is very bright." So his appreciation of the sun is different from your appreciation here—it is cloudy; it is misty. But the sun is the same. There is no such thing as "Hindu religion," "Muslim religion," "Christian religion." It is all sophisticated. Religion is one. You must know what is God, and you must know what is His order and abide by it; you are religious. That's all. We are preaching that.
