Capital punishment

Posted: 16 Oct 2012 07:09 PM PDT

Capital punishment is required. Nowadays the capital punishment is excused. Murderers are not hanged. This is all mistake, all rascaldom. A murderer must be killed. No mercy. Why a human killer? Even an animal killer should be immediately hanged. That is kingdom. The king should be so strict. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Bhagavad-gita 2.3 — London, August 4, 1973 

Death of devotees and of the sinful

Posted: 16 Oct 2012 02:37 AM PDT

Foolish people may say that “You devotees, you are dying, and the sinful men, or non-devotees, they are also dying. So where is the difference?” No, there is difference. Those who are very, very sinful, they cry, because they see horrible scenes at the time of death, and he is going to accept some type of body… But those who are pious, those who are devotees, they are dying without any anxiety. This has been described by the example: just like a cat catches its cub and catches the mouse. The cat has caught the mouse in the mouth and the cub also in the mouth, but there are difference of catching. The cub is feeling pleasure, “My mother is carrying me.” And the mouse is feeling death knell, “Oh, now I am going to die.” This is the difference. So although a devotee is dying and nondevotee is dying, there is difference of feeling at the time of death. Don’t consider that both of them are dying in the same process. The process may be same, but the situation is different. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Bhagavad-gita 2.13 — London, August 19, 1973
