Only those surrendered to Krishna possess true intelligence; all others are rascals bound by desire and karma.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.3.1–2 — May 20, 1972, Los Angeles 720520SB-LOS ANGELES [44:05 Minutes] SB-02.03.01–02_720520SB-LOS ANGELES Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [leads chanting of verse] [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] śrī-śuka uvāca evam etan nigaditaṁ pṛṣṭavān yad bhavān mama nṛṇāṁ yan mriyamāṇānāṁ manuṣyeṣu manīṣiṇām [SB 2.3.1] brahma-varcasa-kāmas tu yajeta brahmaṇaḥ patim indram indriya-kāmas tu prajā-kāmaḥ prajāpatīn [SB 2.3.2] Prabhupāda: Once more.
Pradyumna: brahma-varcasa-kāmas tu yajeta brahmaṇaḥ patim indram indriya-kāmas tu prajā-kāmaḥ prajāpatīn [SB 2.3.2] [devotees chant]
Prabhupāda: Next. [more devotees chant, with Prabhupāda correcting pronunciation] Amongst the woman? Let them chant amongst the... [lady devotee chants] Next.
[lady devotee chants] Anyone else? Devotee: Śacīdevī [indistinct]. Prabhupāda: Hmm. Where is Śacīdevī? [chants] Anyone else? Hmm?
[devotees chant] Anyone else? [lady devotee chants] Hmm. Now, word meaning. Pradyumna: Brahma—the Absolute; varcasa—effulgence; kāmaḥ tu—but one who desires in that way; yajeta—do worship; brahmaṇaḥ—of the Vedas; patim—master; indram—the King of heaven; indriya-kāmaḥ tu—but one who desires strong sense organs; prajā-kāmaḥ—one who desires many offspring; prajāpatīn—the Prajāpatis. [break] [09:20]
Prabhupāda: So, I think last verse we did not read the purport. Hmm. Read the purport of the last verse. evam etan nigaditaṁ pṛṣṭavān yad bhavān mama nṛṇāṁ yan mriyamāṇānāṁ manuṣyeṣu manīṣiṇām [SB 2.3.1] Read the purport. Pradyumna: Purport: "In human society, all over the world, there are millions and billions of men and women, and almost all of them are less intelligent, because they have very little knowledge of the spirit soul." Prabhupāda: This is our challenge, that the..., there are millions and trillions of men and women all over the world, but they're not at all intelligent. This is our challenge.
So the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement may be taken by others as crazy, or we challenge that "You are all crazy men." [laughter] Therefore we have got a little book, "Who is Crazy?" Because they're thinking that "These shaven-headed boys and girls are crazy," but actually they are crazy, because they have no intelligence. Why? They do not know what is spirit soul. This is the animal consciousness.
