Even as Brahmā you will be not allowed. Brahmā has got his one day millions of years. He will also not be allowed. The ant will not be allowed, a cat will not be allowed, an elephant will not be allowed, a man will not be allowed, a demigod will not be allowed to live forever. Hiraṇyakaśipu tried to live forever. He underwent severe penances to become immortal. It was not possible. That is not. Of course, the lunatic scientist says that, "By scientific advancement we shall become immortal." They are lunatic. It is not possible. Because in the past there is no such incidence, so in the present there is no such incidence, how you can expect in the future such incidence? That is not possible.

Therefore intelligent persons, they should try to get the ultimate transmigration. Ultimate transmigration means go back to home, back to Godhead. That should be the actual aim of life. That is first-class intelligent. But they do not know. Therefore we are trying to render our humble service to the human society, to give this information that, "You are trying for so many things for becoming happy, but instead of being happy, you are becoming hippie. So please take this Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and actually you will be happy." That is our mission. That is our mission. Therefore the Bhāgavata says to this hu . . . civilized human being, those who have got some religious principle, church, religious institution that, "You are executing your religious principles very nicely. That's all right. But if you do not develop the propensity for hearing about God . . ."

Just like we have got this temple. We are worshiping Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Deity. That's all right. But side by side we must develop to hear about Kṛṣṇa. Otherwise it will be finished after a few days.
