External arrangement means illusion. We have nothing to do with it. But due to this Kali-yuga especially, we are very much affected by these external disturbances. And that disturbances sometimes make us forced to forget our relationship with the Supreme, and that is called illusion. That is called maya. But if we become very strictly adherent to Krsna consciousness... That is very easily done at the Kali-yuga. Kirtanad eva krsnasya mukta-sangah param vrajet. Kirtanad eva krsnasya [SB 12.3.51]. If you strictly chant this Hare Krsna mantra, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama... That... It is especially prescribed for the men in this age. Then we become mukta-sanga. Mukta-sanga means although we are in this material world, we are not in touch with it. That is called mukta-sanga. Mukta-sangah param vrajet. We remain untouched by the material contamination and gradually becoming perfect. Then we can be transferred to the spiritual world.
