Mandāḥ, means "slow"; he does not understand that, "I have got a responsibility. I must quickly finish that responsibility before the death comes. Before the next death comes I must prepare myself in such a way that I will not have to come back again to this material world, miserable world." That is your responsibility. But we are callous: "All right, let it become what it is.".

Even if you accept all life style, "Let me live here for good, even it is miserable," that will also not be allowed. That will also not be allowed—temporary, duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam ([[Vanisource:BG 8.15 (1972)|BG 8.15]]). Aśāśvatam means "temporary." For a few years you can live, either in this planet or that planet.

So these are the problems. So we should not be irresponsible. But in this age people are very irresponsible. Prāyeṇālpāyuṣaḥ, short-living; mandāḥ. Mandāḥ, means "slow"; he does not understand that, "I have got a responsibility. I must quickly finish that responsibility before the death comes. Before the next death comes I must prepare myself in such a way that I will not have to come back again to this material world, miserable world." That is your responsibility. But we are callous: "All right, let it become what it is." Mandāḥ sumanda-matayo ([[Vanisource:SB 1.1.10|SB 1.1.10]]).

Sumanda-matayo. If anyone is anxious to make perfection of life, there are so many pseudo, cheaters, who will mislead you, mandāḥ sumanda-matayo.

Manda-bhāgyā: the unfortunate. Nobody is fortunate in this age. They do not know what is fortunate life. Mandāḥ, manda-bhāgyā sumanda-matayo manda-bhāgyā hy upadrutāḥ. And over all of this, everyone is disturbed. This is our position.

Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu has given you very nice formula: kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Ādi 17.21]]).

In this age, in this Kali-yuga, you cannot perform . . . you cannot accept this tapasya; you cannot perform the celibacy, life of . . . you cannot practice yoga, you cannot control your mind, you cannot control your senses. This is your position. Therefore Caitanya Mahāprabhu says:

<div class="quote_verse">
:harer nāma harer nāma
:harer nāmaiva kevalam
:kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva
:nāsty eva gatir anyathā 
:([[Vanisource:CC Adi 17.21|CC Ādi 17.21]])
</div>

Simple method: simply try to pure . . . purify yourself by this transcendental vibration, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare . . . try to chant always, kīrtanīyaḥ sadā (Śikṣāṣṭaka 3). This is the beginning of spiritual life, and this is the end of spiritual life. Not that at the end we shall have to give it up. No—the same method. It is so perfect that it is in the beginning perfect, and at the end it is also perfect.
