Mind will think something, 'Yes, let me do this', it will decide, 'Oh, better not to do this'. This is called saṅkalpa-vikalpa, deciding and rejecting. And this is due to our unsteady condition in the material platform. But when we decide to act according to the supreme consciousness, at that stage, there is no such duality that 'Let me do it' or 'Let me not do it'. No. There is only one thing, 'Let me do it. Let me do it because it is sanctioned by the superior consciousness' The whole Bhagavad-gītā is based on this principle of life."|Vanisource:660419 - Lecture BG 02.55-56 - New York|660419 - Lecture BG 02.55-56 - New York}} | |||

Let them remain as rascal, and simply by election, in place of one rascal, another rascal will improve it. Let them remain rascal, but get vote. That is described in Bhāgavatam. The population is śva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra, and they are giving vote—another big paśu. That's all. This is going on. This is democracy. The voters are paśu, and he is selecting another big paśu. This is going on. The rascals, they do not know, "If instead of a tiger, we select one lion," then what is the difference? Simply name. The tiger was president. Now the lion is the president.}} | |||

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "We are, at the present moment, in our material condition, we are manufacturing ideas, and being baffled also because it is the business of the mind to create something and again reject it. Mind will think something, 'Yes, let me do this', it will decide, 'Oh, better not to do this'. This is called saṅkalpa-vikalpa, deciding and rejecting. And this is due to our unsteady condition in the material platform. But when we decide to act according to the supreme consciousness, at that stage, there is no such duality that 'Let me do it' or 'Let me not do it'. No. There is only one thing, 'Let me do it. Let me do it because it is sanctioned by the superior consciousness' The whole Bhagavad-gītā is based on this principle of life." |
