You learn this philosophy. Every day discuss Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, specifically in this temple. Try to understand the philosophy and preach this philosophy to others who are suffering. Everyone is suffering. In this material world we suffer, but due to the illusion of māyā they are thinking that they are enjoying. That is nonsense. They are not enjoying. Nobody can enjoy in this material world. That is not possible. They are simply suffering.

You learn this philosophy. Every day discuss Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, specifically in this temple. Try to understand the philosophy and preach this philosophy to others who are suffering. Everyone is suffering. In this material world we suffer, but due to the illusion of māyā they are thinking that they are enjoying. That is nonsense. They are not enjoying. Nobody can enjoy in this material world. That is not possible. They are simply suffering. But illusion, due to lack of knowledge, they are accepting. Just like in the sea, it is a kind of suffering. We have to struggle with the waves, and do so much laboring, but they think they are enjoying. Actually it is laboring, but they are thinking their . . . (indistinct) . . . this is called māyā. This is called māyā. Just see, at least if somebody says, "Swamījī, you take so much money. Let us enjoy ourselves here struggling with the waves," I'm not prepared to take so much labor for taking part. And maybe I am old man, I am afraid, but I'm not prepared, even if I were young.

So this is going on. The karmīs, they are working day and night, śīta ātapa bāta bariṣaṇa e dina jāminī jāgi re. (Bhajahū Re Mana)

They do not care severe cold. They do not care scorching heat, eh? They do not care torrents of rain. Still they will go to office, to factory, fifty miles, sixty miles, hundred miles. I have seen in New York, they are coming from Pittsburgh, every other city. In Bombay, fifty miles, one hundred miles, three hours . . . and then . . . they are coming to the office. There is no question of "Today it is not very nice day." But still they have to come. So śīta ātapa bāta bariṣaṇa, at night, night duty, day duty. E dina jāminī jāgi re, biphale sevinu kṛpaṇa durajana, capala sukha-laba (Bhajahū Re Mana). There is the karmis are working for some affection, for family affection or dog’s affection—one who hasn’t got family, he has got a dog. So there is some affection. So śīta, and they are working so hard, but capala sukha-laba lāgi re. That happiness is very flickering.

So instead of working foolishly for sense gratification, if we work one hundred times, one-hundredth portion of that labor for Kṛṣṇa, our life will be successful. That is the teachings of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We are working so hard for sense gratification, we are never satisfied. But if one-hundredth part of this labor, if we devote for understanding Kṛṣṇa consciousness, our life will be successful. That is Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s teachings. Try to understand and spread it and hear it.
