242 THE SCIENCE OF SELF-REALIZATION

sa yat pramanam kurute
lokas tad anuvartate

‘‘Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow in his
footsteps. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the
world pursues.”’

We therefore invite the most intelligent men in the world to under-
stand this Krsna conscious philosophy and try to distribute it all over the
world. We have now come to these African countries, and I invite all in-
telligent Africans to come and understand this philosophy and distribute
it. You are trying to develop yourselves, so please develop spiritually, for
spiritual development is sound development. Don’t imitate the
Americans and Europeans, who are living like cats and dogs. Such
civilizations built on the consciousness of sense gratification cannot
stand. The atomic bomb is already there, and as soon as the next war
breaks out, all their skyscrapers and everything else will be finished. Try
to understand this from the real viewpoint of human life, the spiritual
viewpoint. This is what this Krsna consciousness movement is about. We
therefore request you to try to understand this philosophy. Thank you
very much.
