In Ordinary Dealings There Is Cheating - Prabhupada 1098
710214 - Conversation - Gorakhpur
It is a fact that the whole human civilization is a society of cheaters and cheated. That's all. Any field. Māyaiva vyāvahārike (SB 12.2.3). The whole world in this Kali-yuga: māyaiva vyāvahārike. Vyāvahārike means ordinary dealings, there will be cheating. Ordinarily, there will be cheating. Daily affairs. Not to speak of very great things. Ordinary dealings, there will be cheating. That is stated in the Bhāgavata, māyaiva vyāvahārike.
The sooner you get out of this scene is better. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So long you live, you simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and preach Kṛṣṇa's glories, and that's all. Otherwise, you should know that this is dangerous place. Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ (SB 10.14.58). In every step there is danger.
