Anyone who is engaged very seriously, satata-yuktānām, twenty-four hours, thinking, "Kṛṣṇa, how can I serve you. . .?" This is the only business. Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru (BG 18.65). Four things: Always think of Kṛṣṇa. . . This Hare Kṛṣṇa means, "O the energy of Kṛṣṇa, O Kṛṣṇa, please engage me in Your service." I have given service to this material world so much, but I could not satisfy the master, neither I am satisfied. Everyone is serving: society, friendship, love, family, country. But none of them are satisfied. None of them sat. . . Even your President, he could not satisfy you. You had to drag him down. Neither he could satisfy himself. Even Gandhi could not satisfy his countrymen. Although he gave so much service, he was shot dead. So this is the material world. You cannot satisfy anyone, neither you become satisfied, materially engaged. This is called material world. We may show some artificial satisfaction, but there cannot be satisfaction in the material world. First of all you have to take it as axiomatic truth that there is no happiness and there cannot be any satisfaction in this material world. Then you'll make. . ., spiritually advance. If you have got little faith still that "I can be satisfied; I can be happy materially," then that is māyā's influence. That is māyā's influence. There is no possibility.
