God is not your order-supplier; purify the seed of sin within through Krishna consciousness.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Room Conversation — April 6, 1971, Bombay 710406R1-BOMBAY [12:21 Minutes] Conv_710406R1-BOMBAY Prabhupāda: ...therefore they are coming. Process of killing is different, because in this age if you simply kill all the pāpīs, then there will be no more existence, because everybody is pāpī. If you take sword and kill the pāpīs, then everyone will be finished. Of course, that will be done at the last stage of Kali-yuga. But here, the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is killing the pāpa-bīja.
Pāpa-bīja means just like a man is a thief. He knows that "If I steal, I, according to śāstra, I'll be punished by God. Or there is no God, then I'll be punished by the state, by the police." He knows that. And he sees also that one man who has committed theft, he is arrested and he is taken by the police.
He has seen also. But still he does stealing. He knows either from the state point of view or śāstra point of view, and he sees practically. Still he does it.
Why? That pāpa-bīja. In the heart the seed of committing sinful activities is there. So simply by seeing or knowing, it will not be killed. It has to be killed by this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
He should be purified from the heart; he'll give up everything. So this killing process is paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām [Bg. 4.8]. So this pāpa-bīja, the seed of sinful activities, is being killed. Otherwise, how people give up all the sinful activities?
Because the pāpa-bīja, the original seed, is being killed. You see practically. Guest: Divine birth is not... There's no known being, super-being, here to... Here you find Vietnam War, you find here Bangladesh, you find all suffering, and they'll cry all around to God that "He will come and protect us," and there is no protection anywhere from this. Prabhupāda: Well, this kind of protection, crying at the time of danger, this is experienced from past history also.
Just like in the last war in Germany. One German friend told me that naturally the all the women went to the church for praying, "My Lord, save my husband. Save my brother." Because all men were in the front; only women were left. So they were praying that "My husband may come back.
