| "People are trying to be happy by so many bahir-artha, external desires. Artha, artha means actual interests. And anartha, anarthopaśamaṁ sākṣād bhakti-yogam adhokṣaje (SB 1.7.6). Artha means how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa. This is artha. It is said, arthadam. Arthadam. You can get real interest in this life. kaumāra ācaret prājño, dharmān bhāgavatān iha, durlabhaṁ mānuṣo janma, adhruvam apy arthadam (SB 7.6.1). This human form of life, although adhruvam . . . Everybody, we cannot continue this body for all the time. It will be ended, dehāntara-prāptiḥ (BG 2.13), another body. So this is the general rule for all living entities, either dog's body or hog's body or man's body. It will not stay; it will not endure. You have to change. Therefore it is called adhruvam. But the special advantage of this human form of life—Prahlāda Mahārāja says—although it is adhruvam, it will not stay, but arthadam, you can have your real interest fulfilled."
