We are being crushed by the wheel of time with sixteen spokes. We are being crushed. At the same time, we are thinking that we are very happy. This is called maya. This is maya's grace, that in any condition of life, the suffering is very, very acute, but the living entity who is suffering, he thinks, "I am enjoying." This is called maya. So those who have taken to Krsna consciousness preaching work, they should always know that things are not going to happen so easily. Maya is very, very strong. Very, very strong. But still, we have to struggle against maya. It is a declaration of war with the maya. Maya is keeping the living entities under her control, and we are trying to save the living entity from her.
