Vedic education vs material education
"Modern Education Makes Asses". Vedic culture was most solidly founded in India but the Indians took the Western civilization, and they lost their own civilization. This is India's bad luck. The Britishers did not teach them how to take up the Western culture, but they killed the Eastern culture. They never taught Indians how to become actually Westernized. They were not giving them sufficient education. They were very much against higher education in the beginning. They wanted some clerks to conduct their activities, mercantile and government, some third-class, fourth-class men. Educated means ABCD, that's all. "They may know ABCD and take fifty, sixty rupees salary, and go home outside the town and come in a daily passenger train, and work hard here and simply get your money so that you can maintain yourself." Nothing more. No education, no money, no industry. They were not taught properly. Here I see the factories, and the arrangement is so nice. But Indian factories, go -- it is hell. Hell, simply hell. The Britishers exploited the Indians, and the capitalist class of India, they have learned how to exploit only.
Formerly the Manchester people were exploiting Indians. Now the Ahmedabad people, they have learned how to exploit. That's all. And government is satisfied because they pay tax. "Never mind. The workers may suffer, go on suffering." This is going on. And they have lost their own culture, and they have been taught how to drink, how to eat meat.The fact is that Indians cannot work so hard as the Western people can work. The climate does not allow. India's climate is good for peaceful living, less work, and brain engaged in spiritual advancement. That is India's gift. They are not meant for hard work. Hard work is not required for anyone. This is animal civilization, to work very hard. Then what is the difference between animal and man? A man has to work so hard like animal; then what is the difference? Western countries their climate is also suitable, and they are taught to work very hard like animals. And they do that. Therefore materially they become so-called prosperous for committing suicide. Is it not?
Materially advanced for committing suicide.
Without sex life one cannot be materially enthusiastic. And if you stop sex life, then you become spiritually advanced. This is the secret. If you stop sex life, then you become spiritually advanced, and if you indulge in sex life, then you will be materially enthusiastic. That is the difference between Western and Eastern culture. The whole Eastern culture is based on how to stop sex life, and here in the Western countries, how to increase sex life. They are eating meat, eggs, drinking wine. These things will enthuse sex life. And as soon as you get a very satisfactory sex life, you become enthused to work hard. Therefore karmis, marriage is necessary, because without sex life they cannot work. And for jnanis, yogis, bhaktas, sex life is prohibited. Actually, they do not know the science of life, this Western civilization. Their life means this body. Their life means this body. That means they do not know what is life. And as soon as the life is gone, the body is there -- they cannot explain. This is their ignorance. Why the life is stopped? And they are very proud of their advancement. And bring in life again. That they cannot do. That means the whole basic principle is ignorance. Mudha nabhijanati. Moghasa mogha-karmano mogha-jnana vicetasah [Bg. 9.12].
raksasim asurim caiva prakrtim mohinim sritah. Prakrtim mohinim sritah. Because they have taken the shelter of prakrti, material nature, bewildered and captivated, they do not know what is the aim of life -- moghasa, "all baffled." Mogha karmanam: "Whatever they are doing, that will be useless." Moghasa mogha-karmano mogha-jnana: [Bg. 9.12] there is no knowledge.
Advancement of knowledge means how to enjoy sex life, how to take shelter of abortion, child-killing, and then contraceptive method -- whole thing on the basis of sex life. That's all. They do not know except these things. They know there is botheration after sex life, but they cannot give it up. Therefore all these arrangements: take a contraceptive, kill child, and what... That means the whole thing is based on sex life. That's all. Yan maithunadi grhamedhi sukham hi tuccham [SB 7.9.45]. Is that pleasure? They think it is pleasure to unite the urinals.
"This is all, everything." This is a basic principle of their happiness. That's all. Mohini, Mohini.This is captivation. And nature has made the woman's face so attractive, beautiful, their breast, their hips, attractive, their sound, talking, singing, all very attractive, walking, and now they are dressing naked. They are showing simply the vagina, all other parts of the body clothed. This is going on. The whole thing is based on sex life, and that is tuccham, most abominable. Prakrtim mohinim sritah. It will take three hundred times more births to understand that this sex life is abominable. Therefore it is bahunam janmanam ante [Bg. 7.19]. Not that immediately, simply by hearing our Bhagavad-gita lecture, they will give it up. It will take many, many births to understand. Bahunam janmanam ante. In the Vedic system, sex life is allowed only for begetting children. Therefore they are... Restriction. Allowed, but with great restriction under religious rules and regulation and so many things, garbhadana. Then the first principle is, even it is taken for begetting child, it is not secret
