mentality

That is the perfection of life. Ante, at the time of death, if you remember Krsna, then your life is successful. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti kaunteya [Bg 4.9]. So we have to do like that, not like the asuras, or demons. Thinking must be there, but if you think of this body-how to keep it very comfortably, how to enjoy senses, how to have more money, how to have more men or women, how to see naked dance, how to do, how to this, how to this-then you are demon. And at the time of death, naturally we shall think of. Then I get again demonic life or animal life or tree life. There are so many different forms of life that is in our presence. Before us there are so many examples. If you get a life of a tree, naked... Tree is naked. He's not ashamed to remain naked. And for ten thousand years you stand up.    (More...)

So instead of thinking always like these demon, that "I have got so much money. Now I shall get further amount of money and it will be like so much money. He is my enemy. I have killed one of them. The other enemy..." This is going on actually, in the material field. So we have to rectify. We have to rectify. Adhyo 'bhijanavan asmi: "I am the richest man. I have got so many friends, all aristocratic." Abhijanavan. Janavan, dhanavan. Dhanavan means possessing wealth, and janavan means possessing men, strength, popular strength, and strength of money. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that na dhanam na janam na kavitam va jagad-isa kamaye. These are the bhakti path. The demon is thinking, "I have got so much money. I have got so many friends and so many relatives, so many family members." Caitanya Mahaprabhu is denying, that na dhanam na janam na sundarim kavitam va jagad-isa kamaye , just the opposite: "I don't want any material friends or followers, neither I want money. Simply I want to serve You. Simply I want to serve You."    (More...)
