The householders, dīna-cetasām . . . in the beginning I was thinking, "Why they have been called dīna?" Dīna-cetasām means poor-minded, dīna; or crippled, cripple-minded. Actually, I see all the householders in Western countries, they are cripple-minded. Just like animal they are living. There is no high thought: what is next life, what is God. There is nothing of the sort. Simply bodily. That is also an illusion.

My point of view that if America becomes actually sane man, then the world will be happy. Because they are after America. America, in so many ways they are helping other undeveloped countries also, with foodstuff, with money, with assistance. That’s very nice. And still in America there is so much vacant land. You can produce huge quantities. This is their bad politics. Why they do not allow the congested countries like China, India come here and be engaged in agriculture? By God’s arrangement there is no scarcity. It is by our arrangement there is defect. God can main . . . my Guru Mahārāja used to say: "There is no scarcity; only scarcity is Kṛṣṇa consciousness."

So now those who are senior students, they should extensively tour, parivrājakācārya. Gṛhiṇāṁ dīna-cetasām.

([[Vanisource:SB 10.8.4|SB 10.8.4]])

Mahad, those who are great personalities, they should . . . they travel, mahad-vicalanaṁ. Vicalanaṁ means traveling, touring. Why? Gṛhiṇāṁ dīna-cetasām. The householders, dīna-cetasām . . . in the beginning I was thinking, "Why they have been called dīna?" Dīna-cetasām means poor-minded, dīna; or crippled, cripple-minded. Actually, I see all the householders in Western countries, they are cripple-minded. Just like animal they are living. There is no high thought: what is next life, what is God. There is nothing of the sort. Simply bodily. That is also an illusion. What is the pleasure I do not find by fighting, box-fighting, and this baseball. All jumping in the . . . what is that? It may be pleasing to some others, but the man who is doing, looking for some money or for some reputation, he is risking everything, his life also. Is it not? This box-fighting, one is risking his life simply for little reputation and some money. So gṛhiṇāṁ dīna-cetasām: cripple-minded. They do not know how to live actually comfortable life. They do not know. How to become happy, they do not know. Simply like monkey they are jumping, and they are happy like the child . . . (indistinct) . . . monkeys, you know monkey’s business? Jumping from this branch to another branch. That is their sporting. Naked, having three dozen women behind him. You know?
