Subtitles for Illicit Sex & Social Work
- [00:13]
- We are training, sometimes people laugh. “What is this nonsense?”
- [00:20]
- They criticize. The leaders of the society do not encourage it.
- [00:31]
- Now yesterday I was talking with one priest about illicit sex life, he said,
- [00:42]
- “What is wrong there, it is a great pleasure.” Yes.
- [00:51]
- We are training, we are advocating that illicit sex is sinful.
- [01:02]
- Our first condition is that one must give up these four things:
- [01:09]
- illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication and gambling.
- [01:16]
- This is my first condition, before accepting. So they agree and they follow.
- [01:25]
- That’s what our clients won’t do.
- [01:30]
- Yes they will do, if regular institution runs on with all facilities.
- [01:40]
- We get so many devotees who come here.
- [01:43]
- After some time they become dedicated devotees. The method must be there.
- [01:50]
- …that was another brothel. -the hippie farm.
- [01:58]
- And I went there. The organizer took me there.
- [02:09]
- So I think if you are serious let us combinedly open an institution
- [02:20]
- where people should be trained up how to become first-class.
- [02:27]
- Children should be trained up. That will make a solution.
- [02:34]
- You have to change society then.
- [02:37]
- No, no. No change. Let society be what it is.
- [02:41]
- We train up some children as we are doing in Dallas.
- [02:47]
- And some men also, just like we have trained up. It is possible, this is practical example.
- [02:55]
- So priest should be ideal character, and they are advocating homosex.
- [03:01]
- Where is the ideal character man?
- [03:04]
- If the priestly class are going to hospital for drinking habit
- [03:12]
- and they are allowing man-to-man marriage and homosex, then where is ideal character?
- [03:18]
- Homosexuality is a sickness, an illness.
- [03:23]
- It’s just like a person can’t see, you would punish him for not seeing,
- [03:26]
- you can’t punish a person for being homosexual. That’s what our society says.
- [03:32]
- Anyway, the priestly class sanctioning homosex.
- [03:36]
- Sanctioning, they are allowing homosex.
- [03:39]
- And there was report that man and man was married by the priest.
- [03:48]
- In New York there is a paper, “Watchtower.” That is a Christian paper.
- [03:58]
- I have seen it, that paper.
- [03:59]
- They are condemning that priest is allowing man-to-man marriage.
- [04:06]
- And they are passing resolution, homosex resolution, passing, all right.
- [04:12]
- And in Perth you said the students are discussing about homosex,
- [04:23]
- in favor of homosex. So where is the ideal character?
- [04:30]
- If you want some tangible business train some people to become ideal character.
- [04:42]
- That is this Krishna consciousness movement.
- [04:46]
- But people will say what is ideal to you is not ideal to someone else.
- [04:52]
- I am giving the example of ideal character.
- [04:55]
- Yes. But that’s one opinion.
- [04:56]
- No. It will not depend on opinion. Opinion.
- [05:03]
- What is the value of opinion if the people are all asses?
- [05:07]
- No. There is no opinion. One should take as it is enjoined in the sastras. No opinion…
- [05:14]
- …and what if the Brahmanas start to rule the world in their own interest?
- [05:26]
- No, no… It is not vested interest. It is the character. Just like sama, peaceful…
- [05:40]
- They might form a class of their own and have their own interest
- [05:42]
- and try to rule the world accordingly.
- [05:45]
- No. Because they are honest. That is the world of difference. They will not do that.
- [05:49]
- They must go according to the book. -Yes
- [05:52]
- Honest means he is not for his own interest, for everyone’s interest. That is honesty.
- [05:58]
- Now what if he’s misguided? Suppose the world changes since that book was written.
- [06:05]
- No, no. Simply because they did not follow. Just like in India.
- [06:10]
- This is the character of the Brahmanas.
- [06:13]
- Later on, gradually the culture was lost since the last one thousand years
- [06:20]
- because India was subjugated by foreigners. The Mohammedans.
- [06:29]
- They introduced some of their culture. Then the Britishers came.
- [06:32]
- Everyone whats their interest.
- [06:35]
- When British rule came their Lord Mackalie’s private report was that
- [06:46]
- if you wan to keep them as Indian Hindus you’ll never be able to rule over them.
- [06:56]
- So it was British government´s policy to condemn everything Indian.
- [07:05]
- How would you react if somebody breaks into this place and tries to rob some of the…
- [07:12]
- He said how would we react is someone breaks in and tries to rob the building.
- [07:17]
- Rob? -A thief. What would we do if a thief came in.
- [07:22]
- If a thief came in we shall punish him.
- [07:26]
- You shall be violent. -Why not? A thief should be punished.
- [07:30]
- You would punish yourself? What would you do? Would you start attacking him?
- [07:38]
- No. Ourself or anyone, a thief, he has to be punished.
- [07:43]
- A thief has to be punished. Ourselves or yourself, it doesn’t matter.
- [07:49]
- A thief is thief. He should be punished.
- [07:53]
- What if he breaks in because he is hungry?
- [07:57]
- Who breaks? -He says, “What if he breaks in because he is hungry?”
- [08:05]
- Then we say everyone should come and eat. Why he should remain hungry?
- [08:11]
- We invite everyone. Come here, eat. No charge. We don’t charge.
- [08:18]
- So why should he remain hungry? Let us increase this program.
- [08:24]
- All hungry men of Melbourne city come here and take your eating sumptuously.
- [08:30]
- We invite, “Come on.” Why you should remain hungry?
- [08:35]
- What if he’s and alcoholic and he’s hungry?
- [08:37]
- We have a couple of alcoholics that come here and we give them food every night.
- [08:42]
- You do. -Yes -Just like the Gordon House? -Yes.
- [08:45]
- They come, we feed them. We have a feast every Sunday, they come.
- [08:48]
- It requires little time to practice, otherwise it is open for everyone. It is above politics.
- [09:01]
- From your point of view but we in the department depend on political decisions.
- [09:07]
- The department means another set of…
- [09:12]
- Yes, that’s just an instrument, a public will.
- [09:14]
- The minister is elected according to public will in our society.
- [09:18]
- Because they have made a department, just like your department.
- [09:21]
- What is that department? Social welfare.
- [09:23]
- Social welfare. So if they find social welfare why not help? Why they bring politics?
- [09:33]
- If actually there is social welfare here, why not support it? –Yes, well you’re right.
- [09:42]
- But in our society a minister is elected to carry out certain policies.
- [09:50]
- Not what he wants but what the people voted for.
- [09:55]
- But if your policy is social reformation.
- [09:59]
- Social reformation is not our policy. -Then social welfare.
- [10:04]
- Just to look after those who are in trouble. That’s our policy.
- [10:08]
- Well, everyone is in trouble. -Parden?
- [10:11]
- At the present moment even the ministers are in trouble.
- [10:15]
- Yes, but that is not what our function is. Everybody is in trouble.
- [10:19]
- Physician heal thyself. You see.
- [10:22]
- They’re also drunkards, they’re also women hunters, and meat eaters and gambling.
- [10:28]
- That’s all. They require to be rectified.
- [10:33]
- But we can’t help that.
- [10:37]
- You have to change society and then society tells us to act differently.
- [10:41]
- Unless you change the society how can you make social welfare?
- [10:44]
- If you keep them as it is then were is the question of welfare?
- [10:49]
- You give a different interpretation to the words.
- [10:56]
- Basically one must be first-class, ideal man, that is wanted.
- [11:06]
- That’s why it is so very difficult.
- [11:10]
- You have to work on your own… if you convince enough people.
- [11:16]
- You find out… Our own program it is not vox populi. You find out fault with us.
- [11:22]
- You find out what is our fault. -I can’t see any fault.
- [11:29]
- Then you can disagree, but when you see everything is nice how can you not accept it?
- [11:35]
- Unless you are biased?
- [11:38]
- Of course I am biased. I’ve been brought up differently -Yes
- [11:43]
- Just like you’re biased against my life. -No we are not biased, we are allowing.
- [11:52]
- We say that if you want to be first-class man then you must not commit sinful activities.
- [12:01]
- That is our proposition.
- [12:04]
- But I as a public servant, I’m not here to change society…
- [12:10]
- We’re also public, we belong to the public. You must become our servant also.
- [12:16]
- What. -We are public, members of the public. You should become our servant also.
- [12:23]
- If you are public servant.
- [12:25]
- A public servant, in our philosophy is a man who serves a minister
- [12:32]
- elected by the people. In this way he serves the public…
- [12:36]
- Therefore we are reforming the public. -Yes, that’s what I mean.
- [12:42]
- …I might agree with you that if all of us would be Krishna. -Not all
- [12:47]
- Then a social worker would be different.
- [12:51]
- Just like we are proposing here, I’m not proposing, Krishna says,
- [12:57]
- that one must be peaceful. How to become peaceful?
- [13:02]
- If his mind is always disturbed how he can become peaceful?
- [13:06]
- You’re quite right. So that is the secret of success.
- [13:11]
- You want to make people peaceful but you do not know how to make him peaceful.
- [13:16]
- So therefore we have to adopt this.
- [13:20]
- We have a competitive society.
- [13:23]
- We say that you chant Hare Krishna, eat here sumptuously, live here comfortably
- [13:32]
- and you become peaceful. It is guaranteed.
- [13:37]
- If anyone, even a mad man, agrees to these three principles.
- [13:42]
- That let him chant Hare Krishna maha-mantra, take whatever nice foodstuffs
- [13:50]
- that we prepare and live peacefully, he will be peaceful.
- [13:55]
- What’s your answer that still such a small percentage,
- [13:59]
- tiny percentage of the population accept the philosophy.
- [14:03]
- Tiny percentage, just like there are so many stars in the sky, and there is one moon.
- [14:14]
- In percentage the moon is nothing. If you take percentage of the stars,
- [14:22]
- the moon is nothing. But moon is [more] important than all the nonsense stars.
- [14:26]
- But if you take percentage there is no percentage but because he is moon
- [14:36]
- he is more important than all these rascal stars. This is the example.
- [14:44]
- What is the use of taking the percentage of the stars in the presence of the moon.
- [14:51]
- Let there be one moon, that is sufficient. There is no question of percentage.
- [14:56]
- One ideal man.
- [14:59]
- Just like in Christian world, one ideal Jesus Christ.
- [15:03]
- How to you feel about Mou Sei Tong?
- [15:09]
- In China he’s the ideal man. - He’s a communist.
- [15:13]
- His ideal is all right. His idea, communist idea that everyone should be happy.
- [15:22]
- That is good idea but they do not know how to make everybody…
- [15:27]
- Just like they are taking care of the human beings in the state
- [15:32]
- but they are sending poor animals to the slaughterhouse. Because they age Godless.
- [15:38]
- They do not know that the animal is also a living being,
- [15:43]
- and the human being is also a living being.
- [15:46]
- So for the satisfaction of the tongue of the human being the animals should be cut throat.
- [15:55]
- That is the defect.
- [16:04]
- If the leaders of the society become compassionate with this movement…
- [16:14]
- Our minister regards himself as a servant of the people. He can be kicked out at any time.
- [16:19]
- That is the defect. The people are rascals and they have elected another rascal
- [16:24]
- That is the defect, then what can be done? Hopeless.
- [16:30]
- O you can work on the…
- [16:32]
- We are going without depending on these rascals.
- [16:35]
- We are going on, we are publishing our books, we are making our movement.
- [16:39]
- We are honestly trying, that’s all. That we are doing, all over the world.
- [16:45]
- All we can do is allow you to convince the population differently.
- [16:49]
- Yes we are doing.
- [16:49]
- And when you do that then social welfare department…
- [16:54]
- Now suppose if we instruct a man, “Please do not have illicit sex.”
- [17:02]
- Have you got any objection?
- [17:04]
- If I advise somebody that, “Do not have illicit sex,” have you got any objection?
- [17:10]
- Yes, I have. -You have? -Yes
- [17:14]
- I like sex and my wife likes sex. We just enjoy it. We couldn’t live without it.
- [17:20]
- Our marriage is happier because we have sex.
- [17:24]
- Just see. This is the condition.
- [17:27]
- …enjoying sex and our marriage is happier with sex.
- [17:31]
- No we don’t prohibit sex but we prohibit illicit sex.
- [17:37]
- But I have two children. We use the pill, we use contraceptives,
- [17:42]
- we use all kinds of things. Because it makes our life…
- [17:48]
- Why do you use contraceptives?
- [17:50]
- Because I don’t want any more children.
- [17:52]
- Then why don’t you stop sex? –Because I like sex, because I enjoy it.
- [17:58]
- That means you go to the physician,
- [18:01]
- “I want to do everything I like, still I want treatment.” This is the position. You want…
- [18:09]
- I didn’t come for treatment.
- [18:11]
- No, no, I say… You have come for treatment. You have.
- [18:17]
- I was invited…
- [18:19]
- Because you are paid to control the society, your activities.
- [18:23]
- Therefore you have come here for treatment.
- [18:25]
- But when I prescribe medicine you do not accept.
- [18:28]
- I didn’t come for treatment. -No, yes. -Well you invited me.
- [18:32]
- Just to help you in your social activities, social welfare activities.
- [18:38]
- To take some suggestion from us.
- [18:41]
- But when we give the suggestion you reject it. That is your position.
