<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- August 23, 1976, Hyderabad|Morning Walk -- August 23, 1976, Hyderabad]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Indian man: Cycle, as we see it is going on since millions of years. And it is likely to go on like this.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. You can stop it. You are missing the chance because you are not serious about the end of life. You are not disgusted with this repetition of birth and death. That is foolishness. Just like a thief, a criminal. He is constantly put into the jail but he's not disgusted. He's committing again and again and again. Punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.30|SB 7.5.30]]). This is going on. This is foolishness. He does not make any provision how to stop it. That is for want of knowledge. This is going on.</p>
<p>Indian man: In olden days...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: They knew it. That is Vedic culture. Because Vedic culture is from the very beginning. The children were given instruction, brahmacārī.</p>
<p>Indian man: It is said in some quarters that in olden days because of a lack of so many amenities for our life and all that...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is that? What is your ability? Your ability is that you work like an ass and die. That's all. That's your ability. Mūḍha. What is your ability? Can you stop death? Then what is your ability? You have to die. So it is false ability. It is struggle only. You try to live but nature will kill you. This is your ability.</p>
<p>Indian man: He is talking of amenities, there are so many amenities now...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: What is the meaning of this amenities? After all you are going to die. Your all amenities will remain background. That's all.</p>
