Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very scientific movement, for the peaceful situation of the whole human civilization. Try to understand the philosophy and the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Don't be misled by sense gratification. Then you will . . . grow . . . and if you understand the philosophy and the science, then you will be able to do good to the whole humanity. Otherwise it will . . . (indistinct) . . . Kṛṣṇa will not allow the rascals.

So bhogaiśvarya. Kṛṣṇa says, bhogaiśvarya-prasaktānāṁ ([[Vanisource:BG 2.44 (1972)|BG 2.44]]). What is this verse? Now this, read. Yes.

Devotee: Read? "In the minds of those who are too attached to sense enjoyment and material opulence, and who are bewildered by such things, the resolute determination of devotional service to the Supreme Lord does not take place."

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is my request: that we have got this body, and the bodily demands are there. The bodily demands means eating, sleeping, sex and defense. That is required. We don't stop it, but minimize it. Don't increase it. To increase it is called pravṛtti-mārga. Pravṛtti-mārga. Pravṛtti-mārga means increasing the propensity of sense enjoyment. That is called pravṛtti-mārga. And there is another way, nivṛtti-mārga: decreasing the propensity for sense gratification.

So our this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not pravṛtti-mārga—nivṛtti-mārga. Because if we go to the pravṛtti-mārga, increasing the propensity of sense gratification, then that is very dangerous. Dangerous means, suppose you are now American; you have got all facilities for sense gratification. But you have to change your body, tathā dehāntara-prāptir ([[Vanisource:BG 2.13 (1972)|BG 2.13]]). That you cannot stop. If a young man says: "No, I shall not change my body. I shall not become old man," will he be accepted by the nature? Nature kicks out your proposition: "You must become old man." Why I must thinking so independent?

So the change of body, as you have to accept, you are not independent to say how I shall continue to remain young man and enjoy life. No. You must. Similarly, tathā dehān . . . Kṛṣṇa says, tathā dehāntara-prāptir. As you have to change in this life from one body to another by the nature's law, ah . . .

(aside) Sit down, that child.

You cannot violate the nature's law. That is not possible. You are a rascal, you are fool, you are thinking independently, but you are completely under the control of nature.
