So we discussed which verse? Srotavyadini rajendra nrnam santi sahasrasaḥ [SB 2.1.2]. This verse we discussed yesterday, that "Those who are materialistic persons, they have got hundreds and thousands of topics," and, although we are in Krsna consciousness, because we are in the material world, sometimes we have to deal with many unnecessary talks. But mind that our unnecessary talks and others' unnecessary talks are not the same, because we sometimes talk unnecessarily, but the aim is Krsna. Just like Battlefield of Kuruksetra. The Bhagavad-gita begins,
dharma-ksetre kuru-ksetre
samaveta yuyutsavaḥ
mamakaḥ panḍavas caiva
kim akurvata sanjaya
[Bg 1.1]
The topics began from the war field, kuru-ksetre, dharma-ksetre. But it is dharma-ksetra. "Why dharma-ksetra? It is battlefield." Because Krsna is there. Krsna is conducting the battle, therefore it is dharma-ksetra. Dharma-ksetra means religious place, pilgrimage. [break] [end]
