Universal brotherhood redefined

Universal brotherhood is possible when one is a pure devotee. A pure devotee doesn't see the outward dress of the body but sees the spirit soul. "Here is a spirit soul," he thinks "part and parcel of Krishna." He does not think, "Here is a man, here is an animal, here is a cat, here is a dog, here is a worm." He sees everyone as part and parcel of Krishna. He becomes a lover of everyone in the universe." That kind of vision is the basis of universal brotherhood. Brotherhood will not come by passing resolutions in the United Nations. That is not possible. It is possible when one knows that Krishna is the common father of everyone. Suppose father has got ten sons. Out of them one or two sons are useless. So those who are very capable sons, if they say to the father, "My dear father, these two sons of yours, they are useless. So let us cut their throat and eat." So father will say, "Yes, you do that"? No. The father will not tolerate. The father will say, "Let them be useless, but let them live at my cost. You have no right to infringe on their rights." This is common sense. But they think that animals are to be killed for the satisfaction of the tongue of the human being. Just like if you are affectionate to your father, then you naturally become affectionate to your brother. We should take into consideration that even the worms are our brothers, what to speak of other living entities. Therefore, we should be concerned about all living entities. They are preaching universal brotherhood, but "Where is the father, sir?" "Oh, Father is missing." "Then where is the question of brotherhood?" If you don't find your father, then how do you select your brother? These are the imperfectness.
