This is the material world.

As soon as you get some profit here,

another side loss. As soon as you want to construct a big skyscraper,
another side, digging earth. (laughter) Otherwise, where you get? You
cannot create. The stones and bricks, you cannot create. You have to
dig from somewhere else and pile here. And that is advancement of
civilization, to be engaged in digging and piling. (laughter)

Not One Became

Devotee

Hyderabad, November
19, 1972

Because there are six hundred and forty different editions of

Bhagavad-gita, and almost every one of them has got a different
interpretation. That is the system going on now. Therefore, before me,
many persons, many swamis, went to Western countries and they
presented Bhagavad-gita in their own way, but not a single person
became a devotee of Krsna. Throughout the whole history. Now
Bhagavad-gita is being presented as it is, and thousands of them are
becoming devotee of Krsna. Practical. Thousands of them. The simple
thing. I presented Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and
they accepted it, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and by
following the principles, within the four years, so many devotees of
Krsna have come out. Because there was no adulteration.

Staying Undisturbed In
Distress

Los Angeles, November 29,

1968

Similarly there are six things which should be avoided. What are
those? Atyaharah prayasas ca prajalpo niyamagrahah, laulyam janasangas ca sadbhir bhaktir vinasyati [NoI 2]. Atyahara, too much eating
or too much, I mean to say, keeping bank balance or money, or
collecting more than the necessities. Atyahara. Generally, too much
eating is prohibited. We have to eat simply just to keep the body and
soul nicely to execute Krsna consciousness. Atyaharah prayasas ca.
Prayasa means taking some risky work which will require too much
endeavor. We should avoid that. Atyaharah prayasah, prajalpa,
nonsense talking which has no connection with Krsna consciousness.
Atyaharah prayasah prajalpo niyamagrahah. Following the rules, but
actually I'm not very much careful in executing the work. So
niyamagraha. Niyamagraha means not to accept the rules and

regulation, and another meaning is simply to accept the rules and

regulation without good effect. Atyaharah prayasas ca prajalpo
niyamagrahah laulyam, greediness, and jana-sangas ca, and
associating with nondevotees.
