Desserts served during BHAKTI SANGAMA festival in Ukraine, 12 September (Album of photos)
\nSrila Prabhupada: If we become pure devotee of Krsna, then my love will be extended to everyone. Not only my society, but to everyone. It is not that \u201cThis is my children; that is other\u2019s children.\u201d All children. All human being. Not my countrymen \u2013 all other countrymen. Not only human being, but even animals also. That is sneha. It is not that \u201cI am safe, and let the animals be killed in the slaughterhouse.\u201d No, that is not love. Love means for everyone. Samah sarvesu bhutesu. Equality to all living entities. That is real love. That is real concern, Krsna consciousness. A lover of Krsna will hesitate to kill even one ant. You know the story, Mrgari. That is love. Just like this child. If I like I can kill him, there is no difficulty. But does it mean that I shall kill him? No. Similarly a small ant, anyone can kill. No. Here is a living entity, part and parcel of Krsna, samah sarvesu \u2013 he should not be unnecessarily killed. We should be careful, not that \u201cTrample over the ants and let them be killed.\u201d No. Everything should be carefully done. Of course, we cannot stop this, but we should be careful, and if it is done, then if we remain Krsna conscious, Krsna will excuse. Yajnarthe karmano \u2018nyatra [Bg. 3.9]. Therefore the business should be, if we walk at all, we shall walk for Krsna. Then if some ant is killed \u2013 not knowingly; unknowingly \u2013 then we are untouched by these sinful activities. Otherwise, we are immediately noted down, \u201cHere is a man has killed one, he has\u2026\u201d The nature\u2019s law is so minute. Every minute, the account is stepped[?]. But if you remain in the business of Krsna consciousness, then there is excuse. Otherwise, everyone is becoming obliged. If I take from you one cent, I have to pay you with four cent, with interest, compound interest. This is the law. We are\u2026 Just like taking money from others. Unless we spend it for Krsna, then we shall be obliged to return again. -From Srila Prabhupada\u2019s lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.6.9 \u2013 June 25, 1976, New Vrindavan
