Divā cārthehayā rājan kuṭumba-bharaṇena vā (SB 2.1.3).
- dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣv
- ātma-sainyeṣv asatsv api,
- pramatto teṣāṁ nidhanaṁ
- paśyann api na paśyati
- (SB 2.1.4)
Dehāpatya. Deha means body. Apatya means children. Dehāpatya-kalatra. Kalatra means wife. Dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣv ātma-sainyeṣu. He thinks, "They are my soldiers. I'll fight with nature, struggle for existence, and they'll save me." Dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣv ātma-sainyeṣv asatsv api. Although he knows that they'll not exist, still he's so mad, teṣāṁ pramatto nidhanam, he knows, "I'll not exist. The soldiers will not be able to help me." Paśyann api na paśyati: he sees and still he does not see. Paśyann api na paśyati. He knows by practical experience that "This society, friendship, love, nation, nobody can save me." But still he thinks that "They'll save me."
Just like when you, in the aeroplane, there may be thousands of aeroplane, others, but when your aeroplane is in danger, nobody can save you. You have to save yourself. Otherwise, you go to hell. Similarly, we have to save ourself individually by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. What this material advancement will save me? Will the material advancement of knowledge can save anyone from death? Is it possible? Real problem, duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam, real problem is birth, death, old age and disease. So what this material advancement of science will help in this connection? They'll bluff, "Yes, in the future we shall do." That's all. Bluffing. Past, present, future, never they will be able to help. Still they're proud, "Yes, in the future we shall do it."
Dehāpatya kalatrādiṣu. Tasmād ekena manasā bhagavān harisa(?) śrotavyaḥ kīrtitavyaś ca smartavyaś ca nityaś ca (SB 1.2.14). (japa) Dehāpatya kalatradiṣv ātma-sainyeṣv asatsv api (SB 2.1.4).
