They are forming so many parties, manufacturing so many means and plans and this and that, but they are not happy. But they are so fool, great fool, that in spite of being repeatedly baffled, still, the same thing, under different form. What is the difference between these rascal Communists and capitalists? After all, they are animals. How they can make things better arrangement? That is not possible.


Prabhupāda: Gṛha-vratānām. Gṛha means home, and gṛha means this body also. Those who are trying to be happy within this body, material world, they cannot take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Matir na kṛṣṇe parataḥ svato vā mitho 'bhipadyeta gṛha-vratānām. Why they cannot? Adānta-gobhiḥ: their senses are so uncontrolled. Therefore they must undergo the process of punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām, again and again, the same viṣaya: eating, sleeping, mating. That's all.

But they are so fool, great fool, that in spite of being repeatedly baffled, still, punaḥ punaś carv . . . the same thing, under different form. What is the difference between these rascal Communists and capitalists? After all, they are animals. How they can make things better arrangement? That is not possible. The only thing . . . this man will say: "Exploit others," and other man shall, "Give food to the others." What is there? Give food to the others or exploit—the same animal propensities. Where is the advancement? The capitalists are thinking, "Exploit others." The same thing, like animal. This dog, as soon as he saw the shadow of his own body with the food, he thought that, "Let me capture that food." This is exploitation. And another will say: "No, first of all give food." So they are fighting like this. So everyone's aim is that we shall remain within this material world are happy. Therefore gṛha-vratānām.

Satsvarūpa: If we can get enough to eat, and sex, we will be happy.
