Prabhupada: Rabindranath Tagore also got his position because he got the Nobel Prize

from Western world. Therefore he was so much obliged. All the big, big men,
governors, he would invite at his home. He was rich man, zamindar. Not very rich, but a
descendant of rich..., he became so enamored by the Western people that there is a song,
"A dog, because he is killed by the governor, so we have made mutton chop out of it.
Take it." [laughter] The dog became so exalted because he was killed by the viceroy.
This is their philosophy. They're big lions, that's all. And they are praised by the small
cats and dogs. [laughter] ...Rabindranath Tagore's Gitanjali, he indirectly praises, "I
love you," but he does not mention whom he loves. He does not know who is the
lovable object. You have read his Gitanjali? Tumi, "You are." Who is that tumi? That he
does not know. But our principle is who is not a devotee, he is not respectable.
Brahmananda: He says in that Gitanjali that the most beautiful creation of God...
Prabhupäda: Is woman.
Brahmänanda: Yes. [laughter]
Prabhupada: So what is this? Everyone is seeing the beautiful, the most perfect creation
of God, is a woman. So what is the difference between man and dog? The dog is also
seeing another she-dog—the most beautiful creation of God. The ass is also seeing the
she-ass—most beautiful creation. So what is the difference between ass and dog and
this?
