750428 Morning Walk - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Vrndavana
Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda, sometimes during your lectures I hear you say yata mat tata mat?
Prabhupāda: Ah, yata mat tata patha. Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: What does that mean? Prabhupāda: That is Vivekananda's philosophy. "Whatever opinion you have got, that is also nice." That means even if we differ, your opinion, my opinion, your is good and my is good. That means no controversy, that's all: making compromise. If I say, "Your . . . your whatever you think . . ." This is going on. When Gandhi was approached that "You have got so much influence on the Muhammadans. Why don't you stop this cow slaughter?" Gandhi said, "No, it is their religion. I cannot stop." That is yata mat, that "Cow slaughter is also good, and cow not slaughter is also good." (chuckles) This is their philosophy." |
