We have to become tolerant than the grass on the street and forbearing more than the trees. In this way we have to tolerate whatever is going on in this material world. Tolerate does not mean unnecessarily we shall suffer. As far as possible, let us struggle, but we should not forget our real business. That is human life. Real business is that I am part and parcel of God. ''Mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūta'' ([[vanisource:BG 15.7 (1972)|BG 15.7]]). Some way or other, I am fallen in this material condition. There is a Bengali poet, he has sung, ''anādi-karama-phale paḍi'', ''bhavārṇava-jale'', ''tarivāre na dheki upāya''. "Somehow or other I am fallen in this material ocean and struggling for existence." Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore prays . . . He does not pray for any material benefit. He is teaching us, ''na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na sundarīṁ kavitāṁ vā jagadīśa kāmaye'' ([[vanisource:CC Antya 20.29|CC Antya 20.29, Śikṣāṣṭaka 4]]): "My Lord, Jagadīśa, I do not want any material happiness or wealth," ''na dhanaṁ na janam'', "or great followers," ''na sundarīṁ kavitām'', "or beautiful wife." These are the demands of the ''karmīs'': "I must have wealth, I must have position, I must have beautiful home, beautiful wife." But Caitanya Mahāprabhu denies. He says, ''na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na sundarīṁ kavitāṁ vā jagadīśa kāmaye''. He does not want even ''mukti''. Because He says next line that ''mama janmani janmanīśvare bhavatād bhaktir ahaitukī tvayi'' ([[vanisource:CC Antya 20.29|CC Antya 20.29, Śikṣāṣṭaka 4]]): "Life after life simply let Me remain Your devotee."

:''ayi nanda-tanuja patitaṁ kiṅkaraṁ''
:''māṁ viṣame bhavāmbudhau''
:''kṛpayā tava pāda-paṅkaja-''
:''sthita-dhūlī-sadṛṣaṁ vicintaya''
:([[vanisource:CC Antya 20.32|CC Antya 20.32, Śikṣāṣṭaka 5]])

So we have got such vast knowledge for achieving the goal of life. It is India. Why should we neglect? Why we should become so foolish that forget our real purpose of life and engage in will-o'-the-wisp struggle for existence, which will never be successful? Why this misconception of life? At least, there must be this institution of Kṛṣṇa consciousness in India so that not only the Indians, but all outside India, they should come and learn what is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. (applause) So it is already explained. We are trying to develop this institution in Bombay. Bombay is the best city in India, and people are also very advanced, enlightened. So let us combine together and develop this institution for the whole human society. That is our ambition. It is not for any sect or any creed or any particular class of men. ''Manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu'' ([[vanisource:BG 7.3 (1972)|BG 7.3]]). It is for the human society, and we have got this opportunity of human body. A Bengali poet sings, ''hari hari biphale janama goṅāinu''. ''Manuṣya-janama pāiyā'', ''rādhā-kṛṣṇa nā bhajiyā'', ''jāniyā śuniyā viṣa khāinu''. "My Lord, I have wasted my this valuable life, human form of life, because I did not take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness."</p>
