Krsna's arrangement is very complete. Purnam idam purnam adah purnat purnam udacyate [Isopanisad, Invocation]. Krsna has given us everything in complete. There is no question... Although we have come to this material world for undergoing some tribulation on account of our rebellious attitude towards Krsna... Krsna, we are meant for serving Krsna, but we have rebelled: "Why shall I serve Krsna? I shall serve my senses. I shall remain independent without Krsna." This is our folly. That is not possible. We have discussed already that without Krsna there is no question of happiness. There is no question of happiness. It is our... This is called ignorance.
krsna bhuli' sei jiva anadi-bahirmukha
ataeva maya tare deya samsara-duhkha
There is something like... Our only fault is that we have forgotten Krsna and we have come to enjoy this material world. Material enjoyment means sense gratification. That's all. That is the material world. And spiritual world means there is no sense gratification, only activities for Krsna's satisfaction. That is spiritual world. The so-called material world can be converted into spiritual world when this Krsna consciousness is there, that everything should be used for Krsna's pleasure. That is spiritual world. Otherwise, it is material world.
