Somebody, you have got some money, you can increase some beds, but the patient will not decrease. There is increase. Guṇa-saṅgo 'sya. Because they are associating with the different types kinds of guṇas, how you can check it? That is not possible. And if you teach people to become above the guṇas, that is real beneficial work.

What is that, to make a person above the guṇas, without being touched by the guṇas?

sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate (BG 14.26) How?

māṁ ca avyabhicāreṇa bhakti-yogena ya sevate (BG 14.26) He becomes. He is not infected by the guṇas. Therefore this is the only means of welfare activities to the human society—how to make them Kṛṣṇa conscious. This is only. Any other activities for welfare activity for the human soc . . . they are simply futile. That is a fact.

The mental disorder persons are increasing only. Crazy fellow. You see? Is it not? You have to simply increase the bedding, that's all. Beds are increasing, not the patients are decreasing. Beds are increasing.

yena yāvān yathādharmo
dharmo veha samīhitaḥ
sa eva tat-phalaṁ bhuṅkte
(SB 6.1.45)

Yena yāvān yathādharmo. Adharma and dharma, according to that, one has to accept a particular type of body. He has to be placed in a particular position. Karma and daṇḍa: he has to suffer. How it is so, that is also explained. Just like I was trying to explain from the Bhagavad-gītā, dhīras tatra na muhyati (BG 2.13). Dhīraḥ, one who is learned, he can know that "This man—my father or relative or friend or son—is now dying. Where he will go? How he will accept this other body?"

That is also explained in the Bhagavad-gītā: ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthā (BG 14.18). If you see that this man was in sattva-guṇa . . . sattva-guṇa means in a brahminical qualification: śamo damas tapaḥ śaucaṁ kṣāntir ārjavam jñānaṁ vijñānam āstikyaṁ (BG 18.42), as the symptoms are described. This is science. Just like you can . . . in the medical science, a drug has a particular characteristic.
