Liquor shop is licensed by the government. Does it mean the government is encouraging that, "You become drunkard"? But government is giving this license because there is a class of men who must drink, and they will violate all . . . say: "All right. Let them have it." Similarly, there are two kinds of living entities: nitya-baddha, nitya-mukta—eternally liberated and eternally conditioned. You see? So for the conditioned . . . they will never agree to abide by God.

Similarly, there are two kinds of living entities: nitya-baddha, nitya-mukta—eternally liberated and eternally conditioned. You see? So for the conditioned . . . they will never agree to abide by God. Therefore for them, this material world, the external energy: "All right, you do whatever you like. You do according to . . ." But still, there is canvassing work. Oh, God sends His son to canvass, "Oh, this is not your right engagement. Please come back to home, back to Godhead."

Kṛṣṇa comes. God Himself comes. He sends His devotees. He comes as a devotee just to again reclaim them. But they are so stubborn, they will not give up this habit. Even in their so-called spiritual cultivation they are thinking that, "I am God. I am the mover of the sun. I am the mover of the moon. I am the supreme," in this way. That is the disease. You see?
