So it doesn't matter whether one is rich, one is poor, the material condition, both of them will have to suffer. The material condition. So karmatmakam. If you continue to absorb your mind in fruitive activities, that "I shall work and I shall get the result and I shall enjoy," this is called karmatmakam. So if you do not fulfill your desire, then nature will give you next life another body to fulfill that desire. This is going on. So therefore it is parabhava. Your business is that to know that you are not this body, you are spirit soul, part and parcel of God, Krsna. So your real business is to become Krsna conscious fully and go back to home, back to Godhead, finish this business of repetition of birth and death. But who will understand this? Therefore it is said, krsna yei bhaje, sei bada catura. One who has understood what is the meaning of Krsna consciousness movement, he must be very intelligent man. Without being intelligent man, nobody can understand what is the purport, what is the basic principle of this movement. The basic principle of this movement is to understand Krsna. Janma karma me divyam yo janati tattvatah [Bg. 4.9]. And the result will be, if you understand Krsna, what is Krsna, then the result will be that after giving up this body, you go to Krsna. Yanti mad-yajino 'pi mam. [Bg. 9.25]
