So this is the safest position. Otherwise this material world is full of danger. It is dangerous place. It is said in the Bhagavad-gita, duhkhalayam. It is the place of miseries. You cannot become happy in a place which is meant for miseries. That we have to understand. Krsna says, the Supreme Personality, that duhkhalayam asasvatam: [Bg. 8.15] this material world is place of miserable condition. And that also asasvatam, not permanent. You cannot stay. Even if you make a compromise that "Never mind it is place of misery. I shall make adjustment and I shall stay here..." People are so much attached in this material world, I have got practical experience. In 1958 or '57, when I first published this book, Easy Journey to Other Planets, so I met one gentleman. He was very enthusiastic, "So we can go to other planet? You are giving such information?" "Yes. And if you go, you will not come back." "No, no, then I don't want to go." (laughter) He said the whole idea is that we shall go another planet just like they are making the fun. They are going to moon planet, but they could not stay there. They're coming back. That is scientific advancement. And if you go there, why don't you stay there? And I read the newspaper that when the Russian aeronautics went, they were looking down, "Where is Moscow?" (laughter)   (More...)
