The material body guarantees suffering; without God knowledge, people worship dogs instead of recognizing their need for Krishna.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Conversation — October 15, 1975, Johannesburg 751015R1-JOHANNESBURG [23:32 Minutes] Conv_751015R1-JOHANNESBURG [in car] Prabhupāda: ...is generated from dog originally. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The disease?
Prabhupāda: Syphilis. In Āyurvedic it is called phairanga, means this disease is imported from Western countries. Every dog has syphilis, and they contaminate the woman, and that is distributed to man. According to Vedic civilization, dog is untouchable.
Now in India also, to keep a dog is aristocracy. Yes. Especially the tail cut. Now half-cut tail, that is aristocratic dog.
Now they are making dog show in New Delhi. [break] [out of car] Adjust. Kleśada āsa dehaḥ [SB 5.5.4]. Material body means different ways of giving trouble.
I have got one trouble. He has got one trouble. He has got another trouble. He has got another.
But nobody is coming to the senses that it is troublesome. And troublesome, at the same time you'll not be allowed to continue. It has to be ended. Then another change of body, and what kind of body you are going to get, that you do not know.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: In the Western countries, people are taught that if there is some difficulty they should not try to accept it. They should try to change the situation.
