talents, all used to understand Krishna

Imported quote 17736

So durasaya ye... Na te viduḥ svartha-gatim hi visnum durasaya ye bahir-artha-maninaḥ [SB 7.5.31]. Then why people are leading in that way, the so many political leaders, social leaders? Nobody speaks of Krsna. They are simply making plan... This party, the Communist Party, is making one plan; the other party is making plan; another party... But the world is suffering. So therefore they have been described in the sastra: andha. Andha means blind, rascal. They do not know. Actually they have no knowledge that without Krsna consciousness the human society can[not] be happy. That is not possible. They do not know this. But by Krsna's grace, by our guru-parampara's grace, we understand, we people who are conducting this Krsna consciousness movement, that without being Krsna conscious, nobody will be happy. Therefore our struggle is different. We are trying to make the people actually happy. Sarve sukhino bhavantu: "Everyone become happy." Otherwise, what is the use of collecting so much money and constructing such big building and inviting them, "Please come here. We have got nice room, and you shall get food without any hard work"? Why we are...? Still, they will not come. Still, they will not come. Now, in this village we have got such a nice building. We invite, "You come here and..." But still, how many are coming? So therefore it has been used: klisyamananam. These rascals and fools must suffer. Must suffer. There is no other way. Klisyamananam. (More...)
