70-04 “Regarding religion, not only at present, but also in the past, all ofthem are described as pseudo-religions. The Bhagavata has condemned such pseudo-religion in the second verse of the first chapter, first canto. Under thespell of material energy, man is forgetful of his eternal relationship with God.They create some religion to derive some material benefit as they createpolitical organization for mutual undisturbed sense gratification. So religion isalso a part of that concept of life. As such, in most of the religions you will findsome instruction on morality and goodness, and God consciousness issuperfluous.
So except Krsna consciousness or Bhagavata dharma or religion ofthe Bhagavata, any other system of religion is only pretension, that is the fact.It is not therefore surprising that your impression of the meeting of the Jewsand Christians, where you had opportunity to speak, was that they were lackingso much in God consciousness. So far we are concerned, our principle is to livewith God as actual fact, and not to make God a supplying agent. Our process isdifferent because we want to supply God everything—whatever we have gotand whatever we have not got.”
