So we have go live in this material world in such a way that we shall do everything for Krsna, but we'll have no attachment for this material world. We may have big, big buildings, big, big temples, but we should not be attached to this. But for Krsna's sake we must have. Because it is Krsna's property. That is our mission. Isavasyam idam sarvam [Iso mantra 1]. We have to teach people that "Everything belongs to Krsna. Why you are occupying it unnecessarily?" Stena eva sa ucyate [Bg. 3.12]. "You are thief. Why you are claiming Krsna's property, 'This is my land, America,' 'This is my land, India,' 'This is my land, Pakistan'?" It is not your land; it is Krsna's land. You are imagining, "This is my land." You come here for, say, twenty years, twenty-five years, fifty years, and fight between yourselves, "This is my Pakistan," "This is my Bharatavarsa," and fight. And when you die you do not claim either Pakistani or Indian or American or European. You flat, fall flat. That's all. And then taken away this body and thrown. That's all.
