Cow dung philosophy

Prabhupada: He is protected. Others are not protected. So his term has not yet come. But what is the answer, that “Lord has become your obedient servant to protect. And when He does not?” Actually, He does not. In Europe, they are very, very much afraid of war, next war. You know that? It becomes a terrible fright for them. Therefore war was not declared. They are very much frightened. They have suffered two big world wars. So why God did not protect them? [break] So cow dung philosophy. Cow dung philosophy you know? That one cow dung is just passed through, and the other cow dung is being burned. So this cow dung is laughing, “Oh, you are burned.” [laughter] He does not know that she will be burned. She will be dried up; she will be burned. So your father’s logic is like that, “I am protected,” laughing at the death of others. Cow dung philosophy.
Gobar means just fresh cow dung. And she is laughing. And the dry cow dung, he is burning. This is little logic is very good.
