Prabhupāda: Because the body does not allow. So all, from all sides. We were discussing Prahlāda Mahārāja's . . . how he is experienced of this material way of life. It is all useless. So by following this mahājana devotees we can make our life perfect. Nothing is wanted except Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is perfection of life. That is instruction of . . . na dhanaṁ na janaṁ na sundarim ([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.29|CC Antya 20.29, Śikṣāṣṭaka 4]]). No, we don't want.
