Only devotees in genuine relationship with Krishna can understand Krishna's teachings through disciplic succession.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: [Transl. We can't trust how long it will go on.] Indian man (1): [Transl. In the hilly areas… usually in our plain cities electricity often goes off, but in the hilly areas there is storm, rain and other disturbances.] Prabhupāda: The thing is that we have to... Shall I speak in Hindi or in English?
There are others... Indian man (1): Most of us, we can follow in English. You speak in English, we can follow. Prabhupāda: So we are trying to imitate the Western way of life, but it is not possible for us to do that. Our constitution is different, spiritual, and their is material. Now they should be combined.
Our government, our people, they want Western way of life, say motorcar. So they can purchase motorcar from foreign countries. What is the wrong there? Why we should waste our energy for manufacturing?
Similarly, India should produce agricultural products. They want... Just like England: there is no food, food grain. They have...
Everything they have to import. Even vegetables, daily vegetables, they have to import. So United Nation on the basis of spiritual understanding. Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam [Īśo mantra 1]. Actually, everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa, or God, and we are His sons.
Kṛṣṇa never claimed that "Indians are My sons." Kṛṣṇa said, sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya [Bg 14.4]: "In every form of life the living entity, their mother is this material nature, and I am the seed-giving father." So on that basis the civilization should be established, and the instruction of Kṛṣṇa should be followed by everyone, and they will be happy. That is the only way. Otherwise they'll suffer continually. They are suffering, and they will continue to suffer. [aside:] They have come to disturb. So that philosophy, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, we are trying to distribute all over the world, and they are accepting.
This is the first time in the history of the world that foreigners, they are becoming devotees of Kṛṣṇa. Now, in the history of the world there was no temple outside India, neither devotee also. Indian man (1): The entire credit goes to you, sir. Prabhupāda: [chuckles] Yes. From historical reference it is so, but it can go still farther, and in that way India's glories will be magnified. But unfortunately, our leaders and government are callous.
