760807 Conversation - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Tehran
| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| Dayānanda: People are working very hard for money, and they're very materialistic. Prabhupāda: That is everywhere in the eastern part of the world. They are after money. Dayānanda: And the foreigners who come here also, they are materialistic also. Prabhupāda: Everywhere materialistic. Manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye (BG 7.3). Spiritualistic means siddhi, perfection. Who cares for perfection? Bring money and enjoy. That's all. Who cares? They do not know what is perfection. They think that you get money, live comfortably as far as possible, then after death everything's finished. Is it not? Ātreya Ṛṣi: Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Prabhupāda: This is the philosophy. Who cares to know that there is life after death and better life, better planet, better world? This is not at all good; it is full of miseries. They are driving all day, car, but they do not think it is tiresome. They think it is pleasure. |
