Give service to Kṛṣṇa, then every day is perfect. Best service to the humanity—to awaken their God consciousness. We are reminding like this. A rich man's son, he has come out of his home and he is suffering—just like there are so many hippies. But we are trying to remind the rich man's son that "Why you are suffering? Why don't you go to your father to become comfortably situated?".


Prabhupāda: Give service to Kṛṣṇa, then every day is perfect. Best service to the humanity—to awaken their God consciousness. We are reminding like this. A rich man's son, he has come out of his home and he is suffering—just like there are so many hippies. But we are trying to remind the rich man's son that, "Why you are suffering? Why don't you go to your father to become comfortably situated?"

This is our business. "You are not to suffer. You are very rich man's son. Your father has got so much money that you haven't got to suffer. Why don't you go back to home?" That is our home. Who can be richer than God? And everyone is son of God, then why not return Him too, and then all sufferings finished? That is our Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Why you are trying to become happy in this non-permanent situation of material life? Go home and enjoy permanent life, blissful life. Dance with Kṛṣṇa. No. Even by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, a little restraining, they will go back to home back to Godhead, and all problems solved—they will not accept. They will make a scientific research to find out petroleum in the midst of the ocean. Therefore they are called rascals, fools, trying to be happy eh?

Durāśayāḥ it has been explained, durāśayāḥ by hope which will never be fulfilled, durāśayā ye bahir-artha-māninaḥ (SB 7.5.31). They are trying to be happy under this external energy, bahir-artha, exactly the same way by making the body comfortable one shall be happy. It will never be possible who has become happy by simply soaping the body and show some shirt?

Durāśayā na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇuṁ, progress should be towards God, svārtha-gatim self-interest everyone has got his self-interest. Self-interest should be to make progress to reach God. They do not know, they are making progress in this material world which will never be fulfilled and becoming in . . . I mean to say, entangled one after another different species of life, that's all.
