Develop dormant love for Krishna through chanting and discipline; all worldly problems vanish with Krishna consciousness.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Room Conversation — July 17, 1972, London 720717R1-LONDON [18:36 Minutes] C-011 Conv_720717R1-LONDON Prabhupāda: ...ruler was a Hindu, the population were the Muhammadans. In Hyderabad the ruler was a Muhammadan and the population was Hindu. Now these Pakistanis, they say, “Now that is Muhammadan ruler. We shall occupy that.” And Kashmir, Hindu ruler, the Hindustanis they said, “We shall occupy that.” Just see how they created fighting.
[laughs] Just see. So the Kashmir ruler, the Dr. Karan Singh’s father, he, according to the British direction… British direction was that he can join any party: it is actually, but we don't interfere. He immediately surrendered to the Hindustanis, and the Pakistanis attacked Kashmir: “It is a Muhammadan country.
We shall take it.” So the ruler, he surrendered. So it was perfectly in order, because the British have gave [indistinct] selection. So when there was fight was going on, the Mountbatten, [laughs] Lord Mountbatten—he is still living—somehow or other he induced Jawaharlal to put the matter in the United Nations. So still it is not settled up, you see, but his duty was, “So why shall I go to the United Nations?
The arrangement was that the ruler can select. He has selected already. Why should I go to them?” In so many way the things are implicated. I am talking on the platform of politician.
So all these, I mean to say, Indian politicians, they were defeated by British politicians. [laughter] That's a fact. And actually British politicians, they are very trained up.
Prabhupāda: Alright. Guest: I... I’ll see you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Prabhupāda: So don't manufacture duty. Guest: No. Prabhupāda: Duty is already there. Take it up and be happy. Guest: Okay. Prabhupāda: That's all. [laughs] Devotee: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Prabhupāda: We are doing that.
How we say, “Here is duty”? We may be very…, not very much learned, but we take the simple thing, that's all. Our duty is to carry out the order of Kṛṣṇa. Caitanya Mahāprabhu confirmed it, my Guru Mahārāja confirmed it, [indistinct].
