If you simply try to understand Kṛṣṇa as He is, then you become liberated, tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma: "After leaving of this body, he does not take up any more material body." Material body is subjected to change, one body after another, one body after another. According to his mentality he is given by nature different types of body. He suffers.

So if you want to stop this suffering of pralīyate, bhūtvā bhūtvā pralīyate, taking one birth or again giving up this body and again accepting another… They do not… They have… The conditioned soul has become so dull and rascal, he does not take seriously that "Why I am dying?" Therefore they have made their own theory, that there is no life after death, everything finished after death. This is the opinion of the Western philosophers, big, big professor, like Professor Kotovsky, Indologist. He said, "Swamījī, after death everything is finished." That means they have no spiritual idea. And our spiritual idea begins from the acceptance of transmigration of the soul. You go even to a village, illiterate, he believes in transmigration of the soul. Ordinary illiterate villagers, he believes. You have seen in Vṛndāvana? The other day, four or five days before, he was. You know? He was with me, walking in the field, and the kṛṣān—some of them were poor (indistinct)—they came to congratulate me: "Sir, you have come to our field. It is a great fortune. Come here!" And your country it is trespass. (laughter) "Beware of the dog!" "Private!" Warns everyone not to come to my jurisdiction. And here the illiterate, the kṛṣān, he saw one saintly man, he thought, "It is my great fortune that he has come." That is the difference between East and West. There they take it as trespass: "Why this man has come to my land?" He can fire even. But still.

So taking birth in India, where Bhagavad-gītā was spoken by the Supreme Lord, we are so bewildered that we do not take the knowledge seriously. How much unfortunate? We question about Kṛṣṇa's instruction and do not take it, and daily manufacture a type of formula. Big, big men like Mr. Mundar(?)—such a nice man—he has manufactured religion, manah(?). Every day, one becoming a different type of incarnation and a different type of religious system. And to make a compliment big, big swāmīs they are saying, "Yes. Yata mata tata pat. Whatever you manufacture, it is all right." This is India's misfortune. By birth he is fortunate; by work he is misfortunate. This is the situation. He has taken birth in India, it is a great fortune: bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya janma haila ([[Vanisource:CC Adi 9.41|CC Adi 9.41]]).

And without taking advantage of the great birth, he is misguided by the rascals. The whole country is now killed. Killed. The demigods desired to come to take birth again in India. That is stated in the Bhāgavata. The climate, the atmosphere, the education, the knowledge, wealth of knowledge, saintly persons… Kṛṣṇa comes here; Lord Rāmacandra comes here; Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We are so unfortunate, and to give to these bad leaders. Andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānās ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]). One blind man is leading hundreds of blind men, and everyone is falling to the ditch.
