Because we are so weak in this age and there are so many problems, it is very, very difficult to make a solution. Therefore śāstra says that, "You simply take to the chanting of the holy name of God."

You can solve your petrol problem, but you can never solve the problem of winter and summer. That will come and go. So it is not that winter will remain for good, or the summer will remain for good. Āgamāpāyino 'nityāḥ. They will come and go away. So don't be bothered about them. If you feel botheration, just try to suffer or tolerate. That is not your real problem. Real problem is how to stop the birth, death, old age and disease, and that is Vedic civilization, and that is depending on the brahminical culture.

So the king's duty is to see that everyone is following the brahminical culture. The brahmin is executing his occupational duties nicely, the kṣatriyas are doing nicely in their occupational duties; similarly, vaiśyas, śūdras. That is the duty of the government, that everything is going on nicely. Otherwise, it will be a great concern, and people will be always filled up with anxieties. There will be so many troubles and problems—we cannot solve them. And it is very difficult to solve in this age of Kali. Therefore śāstra has given us injunction that:

:harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam
:kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā

Because we are so weak in this age and there are so many problems, it is very, very difficult to make a solution. Therefore śāstra says that, "You simply take to the chanting of the holy name of God."

<div class="quote_verse">
:harer nāma harer nāma harer nāmaiva kevalam 
:kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva nāsty eva gatir anyathā
</div>

In this age there is no other way. That you will feel when you take to chanting without any offense, very simple thing, which has . . . you haven't got to spend any money for this chanting, neither we are charging. We are simply distributing this knowledge that, "Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, all problems will be solved."
