Already there is miserable condition, and when they become more and more sinful, they are put into more and more miserable condition. How you can help them? Now here we are asking everybody that, "Come here: take your shelter, take your food, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be happy." But who is coming? Eh? Many men come here; after one day, two days they go away, because they cannot get tea, they cannot get cigarette, they cannot get meat. Fly away, immediately.

Prabhupāda: Yes, we producing our food. Actually, we have created this uncomfortable situation. Human being, anywhere, any part of the world, if they have got land and the animal, cows, all economic question can be solved. Now here, there is much land vacant. They are not utilized for producing food; they are keeping cows for slaughter. This is their business: they are utilizing land for keeping some cows for being slaughtered. So if you go on committing sinful life, how you can be happy? Huh? Now in the Christian Bible it is clearly said: "Thou shall not kill." Why they are killing? Why they are killing?

Mr. Williams: Hmm.

Prabhupāda: Who is Christian? It is very difficult to find out a Christian. So people have become godless, faithless—they must suffer. This is nature's way. Daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī, mama māyā duratyayā ([[Vanisource:BG 7.14 (1972)|BG 7.14]]). Even you want to help him, he cannot be happy. Suppose a diseased man, he is suffering from dysentery, so if you think, "Oh, let me supply him food," so he cannot digest food. So one who is condemned to suffer, you cannot give him any relief. You cannot give him any relief; this is futile attempt.

And nature's way is as soon as people will become demonic, godless, they should be put in different kinds of misera . . . already there is miserable condition, and when they become more and more sinful, they are put into more and more miserable condition. How you can help them? Now here we are asking everybody that, "Come here: take your shelter, take your food, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and be happy." But who is coming? Eh? Many men come here; after one day, two days they go away, because they cannot get tea, they cannot get cigarette, they cannot get meat. Fly away, immediately.

Mrs. Williams: Some people are born physically, but they are not born spiritually ever.

Prabhupāda: Then let them learn how to live spiritually. Therefore this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is there. Why we are opening so many centers? We are inviting, "Come on, live with us, learn what is spiritual life." So how we can help them? We can give shelter immediately in this house at least two hundred men. Let them come, live with us. But they will not come. As soon as they will hear there is no tea, there is no coffee, there is no cigarette, there is no meat—huh?—there is no illicit sex: hah, immediately go away. That's all. Otherwise we can invite, "Come on." Huh? We are depending; we are not anxious. We are depending on Kṛṣṇa. Huh? We are living here, at least fifty men. We do not know what we will eat next day—we do not know; we have no such provision—but we are not dying out of starvation. We are eating, we are sleeping, we are having our kīrtana, our worship, eh, study of this literature—everything. So we have to believe. Teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ.
