750401b Lecture - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Mayapur
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "Dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣu. This body, deha; apatya, children; kalatra, wife; ādiṣu, with all these things. . . Then again extend. From children, you get. . . You get them married. Then again extension—daughter-in-law, son-in-law, grandson. In this way, we are increasing our so-called happiness. Ātma-sainyeṣu. And we are thinking that "These surrounding friends—society, friends and love, nation—will give me protection." In our country, we have seen, Gandhi struggled so, I mean, hard for getting independence, thinking that "We'll be happy." But Gandhi himself was killed.
So this is called māyā. You try to understand māyā. Māyā means where there is no happiness, no fact, and still, we are struggling for it. This is called māyā." |
