Turning Crows Into Swans - Prabhupada 0442

From Vaniquotes


730425 - Lecture SB 01.08.33 - Los Angeles

So when the swans become crow, that is material world. That is, Kṛṣṇa says, yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati (BG 4.7). The living entity is encaged in this material body, and he's trying to gratify the senses, one body after another, one body after another, one body after another. This is the position. And dharma means to gradually turn the crows into swan. That is dharma.

Just like one man may be . . . may remain, may be very illiterate, uncultured, but he can be converted into educated, cultured man.
