So the life is this enjoyment, dancing. That is life, not meditation, "For fifteen minutes' meditation I become God." That's all. (laughter) These are all rascaldom. Enjoyment is real life. Enjoyment. That enjoyment, not this material world, the sex. No. Above this. Transcendental. That we find information in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Every planet is congested with living entities. This is the description in the śāstra. Janākirna. Janākirna means "congested with," but different types. Just like they have come from Vaikuṇṭha, their bodily feature is different. We have got experience here on this planet in some portion there are black people, some portion there are white people, some portion there are yellow people color, so many colors, manifestation, within this planet. So just imagine how many . . . this is God's creation, different varieties. Just like we see on this planet. Why on this planet? Even on this Hawaii island how many beautiful things, flowers, trees and fruits. That is God's creation. Ānanda. Variety is the mother of enjoyment. If you want enjoyment, there must be variety. Impersonal, without variety, zero, these are not enjoyment. This is all rascaldom. The voidists make everything zero. Why zero? There must be varieties. Variety is the mother of enjoyment.

So Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Person . . . we are also. Because we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa we have got the same quality. So you see Kṛṣṇa, He is enjoying with the gopīs, with the cowherd boys, friends, in Vṛndāvana, in the forest, with cows, with calves. This is enjoyment—variety. Zero is enjoyment? No. Zero is not enjoyment. Ānanda mayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). This is the Vedānta-sūtra, that the Absolute Truth, Personality of Godhead, is simply enjoying. Everything enjoyment. You'll find Kṛṣṇa always, wherever He is, He is playing on flute with company, either gopīs or cowherd boy or somebody, somebody. This is enjoyment. And He comes personally on this planet to show His enjoyment life in Vṛndāvana—that place is Vṛndāvana; therefore Vṛndāvana is so important—to invite us that "Why you are rotting here? Come with Me and join with My dance." Similarly, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu also you see dancing here. Śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya prabhu-nityananda śrī-advaita-gadādhara śrīvāsādi . . . all dancing. Saṅgo paṅgāstra-pārṣada ([[Vanisource:SB 11.5.32|SB 11.5.32]]). So the life is this enjoyment, dancing. That is life, not meditation, "For fifteen minutes' meditation I become God." That's all. (laughter) These are all rascaldom. Enjoyment is real life. Enjoyment. That enjoyment, not this material world, the sex. No. Above this. Transcendental. That we find information in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

So I am very glad that you have all taken. Continue this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Read books, chant, dance, eat nicely and be happy.
