"Those who are envious, asuric, demons, I put them in such abominable life that they'll never be able to understand Me." That is the greatest punishment. For a living being, if he forgets God, Kṛṣṇa, in any condition of life, it is the greatest punishment. They're thinking that, "We are very happy without this nonsense God consciousness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

The rascal says: "Why God has made one devotee and another nondevotee?" No. Not God has made. You wanted to become nondevotee? He has made you nondevotee, "All right, you become rascal number one nondevotee." And if you want to be devotee? "All right, I'll make you first-class devotee." That is God. Whatever you want, you get facility. So this is very nice. Simply if we have actually understood our relationship with Kṛṣṇa, and if we try to serve Him sincerely, then Kṛṣṇa will give you all facilities. He'll give you intelligence.

Now, today . . . this decoration is so nice that . . . of course, such kind of decoration is made in India. But if some devotee comes from India he'll see, "Oh, it is very nice. How they have done?" How? It is possible, because Kṛṣṇa is everywhere. Kṛṣṇa is not for the Indians or for the Americans. He's for everyone. Anyone who desires to serve Him, He'll give him intelligence.

This is the philosophy. We have to become serious that, "Kṛṣṇa, give me intelligence so that I can serve You very nicely." Oh, Kṛṣṇa will give you intelligence. And "Kṛṣṇa, give me facility so that I can forget You," "All right. You again forget." That is also stated in the Sixteenth . . . tan ahaṁ dviṣataḥ krūrān kṣipāmy ajasram andha-yoniṣu ([[Vanisource:BG 16.19 (1972)|BG 16.19]])

"Those who are envious, asuric, demons, I put them in such abominable life that they'll never be able to understand Me." That is the greatest punishment. For a living being, if he forgets God, Kṛṣṇa, in any condition of life, it is the greatest punishment. They're thinking that, "We are very happy without this nonsense God consciousness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

They are the most condemned. Most condemned. I think Lord Jesus Christ has said like this, "If anyone gains the whole world and forgets God and self, then what does he gain?" In the Bhāgavata also it is said, parābhavas tāvad abodha-jātaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 5.5.5|SB 5.5.5]]).

Everyone is born fool. Just like this child. The child . . . everyone knows that a child is a fool. Everyone knows. So if the child commits some mistake, does some wrong thing, nobody takes care of him. "Child. He's a fool." Or animal. If the cat comes and immediately gots up on the throne, sit down, so we take it is our fault that we allowed the cat, but we don't take the cat as offender, because it is fool, animal. You see? But if you go and sit down there, then everyone will be: "Oh, you are so rascal that you are going to sit down there?"

So human being is so responsible. If he remains fool, then he loses the chance of life. He should not remain . . . why these books are here? This Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Bhagavad-gītā, Vedānta-Sūtra, and so many nice books there are. Why? Just to make us advanced in knowledge. So we should not try to remain in foolish condition. And if we try to become elevated, Kṛṣṇa will give us facilities.
