So not only in these activities, in every activity we are very busy with material activities. And we do not know that on my back side death is standing. He will take everything, what I have got. Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, mrtyuh sarva-haras ca aham. The death is also Krsna. He said, aham, mrtyuh sarva-haras ca aham: "I am death. You cannot see God. You are very much proud of your eyes.
