Who wants happiness? I want protect this body—why? Because I am within this body. And if I go away from this body, who seeks for the happiness of this body? This common reason they have no sense. Why I am seeking happiness? I am covering this body because the body may not be affected by cold. Then why I am seeking happiness of the body from cold and heat? Because I am within the . . . if I go away from the within the body, then there is no more seeking after happiness. Either you throw it on the street or it is in extreme cold or extreme heat, it doesn't matter. Then who is seeking happiness? That they do not know. For whom you are so busy for happiness? That they do not know. Just like cats and dogs.

Prabhupāda: Who wants happiness? I want protect this body—why? Because I am within this body. And if I go away from this body, who seeks for the happiness of this body? This common reason they have no sense. Why I am seeking happiness? I am covering this body because the body may not be affected by cold.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: But they think they have no time to chant the holy name.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Their philosophy is that to be . . . in order to be happy, they have to work all day long.

Prabhupāda: Hmm. That is your philosophy. You are rascals. But we are not working. Why don't you see our example? We are simply living happily.

Satsvarūpa: But they say we're living off their work.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Satsvarūpa: They work and we beg money from them, they say.

Prabhupāda: We don't beg money from them. We take their money in the way that they'll use it for bad purposes, so we take it for Kṛṣṇa. They'll drink. They'll smoke. They'll have illicit sex and go to hell. Therefore, out of our humbleness, we have become beggar, just like a father asking the child—he has taken one hundred rupees note and spoiling—"My dear child, you are so nice. Why you are taking this? Give this. Take a lozenges." Like that. We are not for their money. That's a wrong theory.
