People are not interested for liberation. They want to become religious for material benefit. But that is not the real purpose of life. Material benefit, you cannot get more than what you are destined to have. That is already fixed up. According to your body . . . you get the body. We get different types of body, and according to the body, our material sufferings and enjoyment are fixed up already. You cannot have more or less.

People are not interested for liberation. They want to become religious for material benefit. But that is not the real purpose of life. Material benefit, you cannot get more than what you are destined to have. That is already fixed up. According to your body . . . you get the body. We get different types of body, and according to the body, our material sufferings and enjoyment are fixed up already. You cannot have more or less. Otherwise . . .

You'll see, one man is working so hard, day and night, and he could hardly maintain himself or his family. And another man, he's going to the market, sits down for one hour and earns $100,000, immediately. You can see. Simply by touching the phone, he simply asks, "What is the rate of this? What is the rate of that?" and he makes one transaction, and immediately he gets one thousand dollars. And this man is working hard day and night, he could not get even two sufficient meals.

So that means the . . . according to the body, the material happiness and . . . just like you are. You have got this American body, so automatically your country's facilities . . . you are more comfortable than other countries, because you have no scarcity, enough production. Everything is enough. So according to the body, you are getting comforts of life. And in another country, deserted country, very hard living; cannot get nice foodstuffs, only living on animals. That is also very rarely.

So these are different. Just like in Greenland, it is filled up with ice. They cannot get any nice food. Still they live there. This is māyā. They will not think, "Oh, here the life is very difficult. Let me go away from here. Let me go to some other, better place." No. He'll not go.
