All bad men, unfortunate and disturbed. This is the position. They will work so hard, they'll catch daily passenger trains, Calcutta, Bombay, I have seen. They are actually hanging, and some of them are falling down, lost life, and coming from hundred miles away. But still, if you ask him that, "You come here. Live with us. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Even with your family you can come . . ." We are doing that at Māyāpur. He will not. How strong sense gratification propensity is. This is position of Kali-yuga. They are making propaganda, roṭi kāpra makān (food, clothing, shelter). So we are giving, "Come on, roṭi, makān, kāpra; you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa." "No. I want wine. I want meat. I want rundi." This is going on.

We want so many men to live there nicely, to eat sumptuously, and preach this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I have seen while coming from Vṛndāvana to Delhi, hundreds and thousands of young men, they are going to the factories on cycle, coming from distant place, at least twenty miles, twenty-five miles, and it takes two hours to reach the factory, or more than that. And there he works hard eight hours and then again goes back, two hours, three hours, on cycle. I do not know what kind of rest he takes. This is life. And if we request these young men that, "You come here. You live here comfortably. You eat here sumptuously and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa," they will not. Just see how unfortunate they are. Mandāḥ sumanda-matayo manda-bhāgyā hy upadrutāḥ (SB 1.1.10). This is Kali-yuga. All bad men, unfortunate and disturbed. This is the position. They will work so hard, they'll catch daily passenger trains, Calcutta, Bombay, I have seen. They are actually hanging, and some of them are falling down, lost life, and coming from hundred miles away. But still, if you ask him that, "You come here. Live with us. Chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Even with your family you can come . . ." We are doing that at Māyāpur. He will not. How strong sense gratification propensity is. This is position of Kali-yuga. They are making propaganda, roṭi kāpra makān (food, clothing, shelter). So we are giving, "Come on, roṭi, makān, kāpra; you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa." "No. I want wine. I want meat. I want rundi." This is going on. Simply they say: "Roṭi, kāpra, makān." But no, they want wine, woman and sense pleasure, that's all. Roṭi, kāpra, makān is not difficult. You can get. But they want something more.
