We are teaching this Kṛṣṇa consciousness to solve the problems of life. It is not sentiment or fanaticism or any sectarian religion. It is a fact that if you want to solve the problems of life, you have to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. There is no other alternative.

The rabbits, when they face one hunter and it understands that, "Now my life is in danger," he closes his eyes. He thinks that, "The problem is solved." (laughs) And peacefully he is killed. (laughs) You see? Similarly, their problems are there but we are closing our eyes, "Oh, there is no problem. We are very happy." That's it. (laughter) So this is called māyā. The problem is not solved, but they are thinking that problem is solved by closing the eyes. That's all.

Now, here is the solution of problem, as Kṛṣṇa says in the fourteenth verse, Seventh Chapter, of Bhagavad-gītā: "It is very difficult to surmount the problems offered by the laws of material nature, but one who surrenders unto Me, he overcomes." Therefore we are teaching this Kṛṣṇa consciousness to solve the problems of life. It is not sentiment or fanaticism or any sectarian religion. It is a fact that if you want to solve the problems of life, you have to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. There is no other alternative.

Kṛṣṇa-nāma karo bhāi āra saba mithyā. You understand Bengali? (chuckles) It says that, "Just chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Everything is false, all other means of making some . . . false." Why? Palāibe patha naya ya mache kichu. "You cannot escape. Just death is waiting behind you." So before death overcomes you, you make a solution of the problem. That is intelligence, that "The greatest danger is awaiting me—death." That is sure. "As sure as death."
