Diverting Attention For Nonsense - Prabhupada 0307
740615 - Lecture SB 02.01.07 - Paris
It is not possible to become desireless. That is negative post, nirvāṇa. That is Buddha philosophy, nirvāṇa: "Stop these material nonsense activities." But unless he has got positive activities, how he can give up this nonsense? Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate (BG 2.59). You must give good engagement. Otherwise, he'll go on committing all nonsense. Just like you, you have been given good engagement, Deity worship and so many other things you are engaged. Therefore you have no time to divert your attention for nonsense things. Simply artificially if you want to stop, no. The US government, they tried to stop this intoxication habit, LSD, millions of dollars. Not a single man was stopped. Not a single man. And here in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, as soon as they come, immediately . . . why? Paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate. When he understands that he has better intoxication, "Why shall I go to LSD?" That is required.
