The anxiety is because this material body. I am thinking of &amp;quot;I may be hot.&amp;quot; Oh, what&amp;#039;s that hot? The hot means body. The soul is never hot. The soul is eternal, na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre ([[Vanisource:BG 2.20|BG 2.20]]). That they do not know. They think this body, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m this body. I&amp;#039;ll be hot, I&amp;#039;ll die, I&amp;#039;ll this,&amp;quot; and so on and so many. Simply anxiety: &amp;quot;How I shall protect my body? How I shall protect my bodily relationship?&amp;quot; everything in connection with the body. Everything asat. The body&amp;#039;s asat, perishable, temporary. So whatever you have got in relationship with this body—my country, my society, my bank balance, my money, my wife, children—everything in the body, they&amp;#039;re also temporary. So they are very, very anxiety. Tat sādhu manye. So &amp;quot;I want to relieve them from this anxiety.&amp;quot; What is that? Tad sādhu manye asura-vārya dehināṁ sadā samudvigna-dhiyām asad-grahāt. Then, what you advise? Hitvātmā-pātaṁ gṛham andha-kūpam. He&amp;#039;s fallen in this dark region of black well, this family life. Hitvātmā-pātaṁ gṛham andha-kūpam. Gṛha, we can take this material world, even up to the sky, that is also another bondage, either in society, or in country, or in this body, or within this material universe—wherever you want—that is andha-kūpa, dark well. So he advises, &amp;quot;Give up this darkness,&amp;quot; hitvātmā-pātam , &amp;quot;because it will kill you.&amp;quot; In this dark well you&amp;#039;ll be killed. Just like, the dark well, we are put into the dark well, you&amp;#039;ll be killed. Hitvātmā pātaṁ gṛham andha-kūpaṁ, vanaṁ gato yad dharim āśrayeta ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.5|SB 7.5.5]]). That is the first... You should give up this dark well and go to the forest. Vanam. Come to Vṛndāvana. Vanam means forest. We have constructed very nice temple. Come there. And vanaṁ gato yad dharim āśrayeta ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.5|SB 7.5.5]]). Vanaṁ gato means to come to the forest.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

That is perfect civilization. This is not perfect civilization. There is every chance of being influenced by these lusty desires, and that is going on, especially in the Western country. They lusty for fulfilling these lusty desires there are so many clubs at night, nightclubs, bottomless and topless and so many advertisements. This is not civilization. Civilization is peaceful life, and we should be satisfied in simple mode of life and always think of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Vṛndāvana life is like that, Vṛndāvana life, especially those who are engaged in devotional service. So we have opened this temple to give facility to the elderly section of the human being to come and live with us. We invite all elderly persons, especially retired person. They should come and live with us. We have got a nice guesthouse, and if required, we can construct many other guesthouses. At least those are retired Everyone should retire after fiftieth year. That is the injunction of the śāstras, that pañcāśordhvaṁ varaṁ vrajet. After fifty years one should give up family life and vanaṁ vrajet. Pañcāśordhvaṁ vanam. Vanam means Vṛndāvana. Vanaṁ vrajet. Similarly, Prahlāda Mahārāja has advised,&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:tat sādhu manye asura-varya dehināṁ&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vanaṁ gato. One should go in the vana, in Vṛndāvana. Then what to do there? Harim āśrayeta. Otherwise, if we live in Vṛndāvana like monkeys and other animals, that will not be beneficial. Harim āśrayeta. Come here, live here and take shelter of Hari. That is the ultimate goal. Therefore Hari personally says, Kṛṣṇa, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekam śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]). Harim āśrayeta.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

So one who is kuśala, actually knows the aim of life, for him, yateta ksemāya bhavam āśritaḥ. Because in the material existence it is simply suffering. But these foolish men, they do not understand. They are thinking, &amp;quot;Enjoyment.&amp;quot; How you can enjoy? Kṛṣṇa says, duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam: ([[Vanisource:BG 8.15|BG 8.15]]) &amp;quot;This is a place for suffering.&amp;quot; Actually suffering, tri-tapa-yātanaḥ, adhibhautika, adhidaivika adhi... But because they have become fools and rascals, they do not understand that they are suffering. They are taking it they are enjoying. Bhavam āśritaḥ. Therefore, anyone who is in such condition, abominable condition, condemned condition, they must take to shelter of Kṛṣṇa consciousness so long the body is strong enough. (break) ...when the body is old and it cannot move, it is attacked with rheumatism, and so many other things, indigestion. No. So long it is śarīraṁ puruṣam. Puruṣam, why this word used? There are women also. Puruṣam does not mean man. Puruṣam means one who wants to enjoy. He is called puruṣa. Anyone here in the material world, although one has got the body of a male or although one has got the body of a female, both of them are for enjoyment. Therefore it is used, puruṣa. Puruṣa means enjoyer. So either the woman or man, the propensity is how to enjoy life. Therefore it is called. So either puruṣa, the male or female, anyone who has got this body, he must perform Kṛṣṇa consciousness until she becomes... It should go on. If you practice when you are stout and strong... Just like a person begins exercising in young age, and in the old age also he can perform exercise. Practice, anything you practice, that is recommended. Yateta kuśalaḥ ksemāya bhavam āśritaḥ.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
