1. Equal treatment for all

    We know that he is servant of Krsna. Forgetting Krsna, he’s thinking himself as Turkish, as Muhammadan, as Jewish, as Christian. This is his disease. So let me cure his disease. Why he should be called yavana? That is artificial. He’s krsna-dasa. Jivera svarupa haya nitya-krsna-dasa [Cc. Madhya 20.108]. Just like when a physician treats a patient, does he think that “Here is a Christian,” “Here is a Muhammadan,” “Here is a Hindu”? He takes as patient, never mind what he is, and he gives treatment. He never thinks that “Here is a Christian patient,” “Here is a Muhammadan patient.” He is patient. “Give me this. Bring him medicine.” That is physician’s business. Why should we consider, “Here is a Christian patient. He should be treated differently than the Muhammadan patient”? Does he think like that? Does he think? Does any physician honestly think that “Here is a Christian patient. Special care should be taken for him”? No. If he is a physician, he should give equal treatment to everyone.
