God is canvassing that “Here I am. I have come.” Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam [Bg. 4.8]. “I have appeared before you just to give you relief.” Paritranaya sadhunam. “You are trying to understand Me, so here I am. I am present. Why you are thinking God is formless? Here I am, Krsna, form. You see, I have got My flute in the hand. I am very much fond of the cows. I love the cows and the sage and Brahma, everyone equally, because they are all My sons in different bodies.” Krsna is playing. Krsna is speaking. Still, these rascals will not understand Krsna. So what is Krsna’s fault? It is our fault. Andha. Just like the owl. Owl will never open the eyes to see that there is sunlight. You know this, owl? So they will not open. However you may say, “Mr. Owl, please open your eyes and see the sun,” “No, there is no sun. I don’t see.” (laughter) This owl civilization. So you have to fight with these owls. You must be very strong, especially the sannyasis. We have to fight with the owls. We have to open their eyes by force from this, with machine. (laughter) So this is going on. So this Krsna consciousness movement is a fight against all the owls.
