Thought Of The Day

So the Krsna consciousness movement is meant for showing mercy to the innocent who are suffering in this material world. That is wanted. It is not daridra-narayana seva, that "I am very rich man. I am rich Narayana, and therefore I can serve the daridra-narayana." There is no question of serving. That is not. No. The fact is everyone is suffering. There is nobody... Because asad-grahat. Sada samudvigna-dhiyam asad-grahat [SB 7.5.5]. Anyone within this material..., he is suffering, full of anxieties. Even the birds and beasts, you'll find, they are full of anxiety. Why? Asad-grahat. Because he accepted this material body, which is asat, which is temporary. Asato ma sad gamah. Therefore Vedic injunction is, "Don't stay in this material existence. Come to the spiritual existence, sat." Om tat sat. This is the civilization, not to keep the people in ignorance and flatter them that "You are making very good advance." There is no advance unless one is interested in spiritual life. There is no... Tasyaiva hetoh prayateta kovido na labhyate yad bhramatam upary adhah [SB 1.5.18]. In this way we are wandering within this universe in different forms of life, in different planets, in different social positions, in so many varieties.By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada
