"We living entities, we are eternal. This is māyā, that I am thinking "I am this body." This is our ignorance. So the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is to deliver the human society from this ignorance, temporary things: "I am this body. This is my country. This is my wife. This is my children. This is . . . This is mine. This is . . .," ahaṁ mameti (SB 5.5.8): "I am this body, and anything in reference with the body is mine." But actually there is no such thing. This is called māyā. Real thing is, the reality, is Kṛṣṇa, Brahman, Para-brahman. All other things . . . Therefore Vedic injunction is, "Don't try to remain in this temporary situation.""
