working like hogs, dogs, etc.

 
Imported quote 16947
So our Krsna consciousness movement is teaching people that "You have no other business than to work for Krsna. That's all." This is Krsna business. This is called Krsna consciousness business. That is called the highest perfection. Samsiddhim paramam gataḥ. Siddhi. Here it is, siddhi. Manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye [Bg 7.3]. Siddhaye means to understand, "What is my position? Why I am working so hard day and night for simply for sense gratification, for satisfying the tongue, to fulfill the belly and satisfy the genital? This is my business. That is being done by the dogs and hog." When one comes to this sense, that "Shall I work like the cats, dogs and hogs, or I have got any other business?" that is human life. Therefore Krsna says, manusyanam sahasresu. All of them working like hogs and dogs. They do not know there is something other. This is the position. And the modern civilization means keep him in the darkness, that "Let him work hard like hogs and dogs, and don't give him any knowledge." Neither they know, the so-called leaders, what is the perfection. They think, "This is life: work like hog and dog, and then die like hog and dog, finish all business." This is not human life. Therefore Krsna says, manusyanam sahasresu kascid yatati siddhaye [Bg 7.3]. They do not know what is perfection of life. Therefore we sometimes... We do not say. Krsna says. And if we repeat Krsna's words, the rascals, they become angry. Actually they are rascals. We plainly say. Because he does not know. If I ask him, "What is your next life?" he cannot answer. Then what is the difference? If I ask the dog that "What is your next life?" he cannot say. "Gow! Gow!" That's all. So if I ask any human being that "What is your next life?" "I don't bother about that thing." [laughter] The same answer, "Gow! Gow!" That's all.    (More...)
