God created humans perfectly with freedom; misusing it, they blame God rather than accept responsibility.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — December 6, 1973, Los Angeles 731206MW-LOS ANGELES [56:58 Minutes] Walk_731206MW-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: ...from your audience? Hṛdayānanda: Well, one of the main things is that they say, "Yes, Kṛṣṇa consciousness may be very nice, but many other things are also very nice, and everyone says that 'I am right.' " Prabhupāda: No, that's all right. Nice... Suppose if there is a nice staircase.
Prabhupāda: So that one, two, three, four, five, six, seven stairs. Still, one who has gone to the topmost nice stair, he has to be considered the topmost. Hṛdayānanda: But then...
Prabhupāda: Everything may be nice. Because Kṛṣṇa says, mama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ [Bg. 4.11]: "Everyone is trying to approach Me," but one who has approached two steps, he cannot say that he's equal to the person who has approached hundred steps. Hṛdayānanda: Well, then they will say that everyone... The Christians would say that they're on the top step, and the Buddhists say they're on the top step.
Prabhupāda: No, they may say, but if Kṛṣṇa is God, what He says, that we'll have to accept. What Kṛṣṇa says. Kṛṣṇa says, mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat [Bg. 7.7]: "There is no more superior than Me." That you have to accept. Everyone will say, "I am very good." But is that the fact, that everyone is very good?
There is comparative, superlative degrees. Just like shopkeepers, they say, "All my goods are good." They are competition. One has to judge. That comparative study...
What the highest Buddha philosophy? Ahiṁsā. Ahiṁsā, nonviolence. That is our preliminary study.
Amānitvam adambhitvam ahiṁsā kṣāntir ārjavam [Bg. 13.8]. There are many other things after ahiṁsā. They do not know this. Hṛdayānanda: There's another argument. Prabhupāda: Eh? Hṛdayānanda: Another argument. Prabhupāda: Yes. Hṛdayānanda: Many times, the professors, they say that "If God..., if God were actually all..., all-good and all-perfect, then when He created us, we would also be all-good..." Prabhupāda: Yes. But you are contaminated.
