Morning Walk — September 4, 1975, Vṛndāvana 750904MW-VRNDAVAN [07:53 Minutes] Walk_750904MW-VRNDAVAN Prabhupāda: ...get money, they will spend it for spoiling himself. Nayanābhirāma: So I was just wondering if it wouldn't be better if we gave them food and clothing instead of paying them.

Prabhupāda: But they will not work. [break] ...gradually. [aside:] Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya.

An Āryan means advanced, advanced in knowledge, and one who is advanced in knowledge, he is advanced civilized. Rascal fools, how they can be civilized? Everyone is claiming "Āryan," but he does not know what is the business of Āryans. Simply by some bodily feature...

The same ignorance—"I am this body." So by the bodily features they settle up: "This is from Āryan family; this is from non-Āryan family." That is good. That is external. Real Āryan means one who is advanced in knowledge and goes by the order of Kṛṣṇa, or God. [aside:] Jaya.

Brahmānanda: Adolf Hitler adopted the idea of Āryan, but his criteria for Āryan was one who had blond hair and blue eyes.

Prabhupāda: That is bodily. [chuckles] That is another foolishness. Nayanābhirāma: Also the Iranians, they are saying...

Prabhupāda: Just like we have dress. So this dress of sannyāsī is not all. I must be real sannyāsī—in knowledge, in education, in behavior, not that... Hitler studies by the dress.
