Who is cultured?

[Bhakti Vikasa Swami]

Any woman should be looked upon as mother. This is culture. Except his married
wife, all women should be treated as mother. The brahmacaris were taught like
that, "Mother." This is culture. Simply they are trying to elope other's wife,
other's woman, exploit them. And they're cultured. There is no culture at the
present moment. Matrvat para-daresu para-dravyesu lostravat: "And others' money
should be treated just like pebbles in the street." Nobody cares for it. So
they are simply making plans how to grab others' money. And atmavat sarva
bhutesu: "And if you feel pains and pleasure, you should consider for others
also." If your throat is cut, then do you feel very happy? Why you are cutting
the throats of the poor animals? Where is culture? There is no culture. Simply
rogues and thieves and rascals and fools. Where is culture? They do not know
what is the meaning of culture. Here is culture, three words:
matrvat para-daresu
para-dravyesu lostravat
atmavat sarva-bhutesu
yah pasyati sa panditah
[Canakya Pandit]
He is cultured.
