Prabhupada, Bombay, November 12, 1974:..Even in the birds’ society there are crows and there are swans. You’ll find the crows are interested in a place where filthy things are thrown out. All nasty things are thrown out. The crows will come and they will enjoy there. By nature.
But the swans will not come. The white swans, they’ll require very nice, clear water, with lotus flower in a garden, and birds are chirping. They’re interested there. Similarly, there are men crowslike, and there are men swanlike. That is nature’s division.
So na yad vacas citra-padam harer yaso jagat-pavitram pragrnita karhicit, tad vayasam tirtham usanti manasah[ SB 1.5.10]. Manasah means those who live in the manasa-sarovara. In Bombay I don’t find any such place, but even in Western countries, especially in London, there are many nice parks, very clear water.
And in America also. Wherever these Europeans have settled. In Sydney, Australia, there are many nice parks with water. Formerly, in India also, in old Dvaraka, Mathura, the parks were there. Parks are necessary for cleansing the mind. So the fact is that as there are classes of birds which are called crows and there are classes of birds which are called swans, white swans… “Birds of the same feather flock together.”
That is an English proverb. The crows will mix with crows, and the swans will mix with swans. Therefore the devotees are swans, and the most advanced devotee is called hamsa, paramahamsa. Paramahamsa. So those who are hamsas, they are not interested in the matter for the crows.
Therefore a hamsa, a paramahamsa, when he hears a question from a person about transcendental, uttamam, sreya uttamam… Tasmad gurum prapadyeta jijnasuh sreya uttamam [SB 11.3.21]. A person who is interested to enquire about the transcendental subject matter, krsna-katha, then the person who is questioned, he becomes very glad. Full Lecture
