Mādhavānanda: If we could remember what our past lives were, we would go mad, because it is so frustrating to continue transmigrating.
Prabhupāda: Even in this life we experience so much frustration. Even if we remember now, we become horrible, "Oh, I was in this state of life; I was in this state of life." Immediately shudder. "Oh, Kṛṣṇa has saved me." You should be obliged that Kṛṣṇa has given you shelter. You should . . . "Do not go again to that other platform." That is intelligence. The other day who was telling me that in northern Pole, because there is no day, so many people commit suicide? Is it not?
Satsvarūpa: I don't know.
Mādhavānanda: Sweden has the highest suicide rate.
Prabhupāda: Because that is horrible condition for any intelligent man. There is no day. Why they commit suicide in Sweden?
Mādhavānanda: Because it is horrible condition.
Prabhupāda: On account of that?
Mādhavānanda: Yes.
Prabhupāda: Oh, just see.
Mādhavānanda: So I hear.
Prabhupāda: So just see how Kṛṣṇa's management, nature's management, there is day and night, day and night, day and night. Otherwise it is horrible. If it is all simply day, it is horrible also. And if it is simply night, that is also horrible. So He is so kind He has given day and night, day and night. (japa) Do not be misled by this illusion as others are being. Stick to Kṛṣṇa to save. That is the only . . . is Sweden . . . Stockholm also like that?
Mādhavānanda: Yes. (aside:) Who is from Stockholm?
Devotee: Smiti.
Mādhavānanda: This is what I heard.
Prabhupāda: Stockholm also like that?
Haṁsadūta: In the winter months there is only a few hours', a few hours' sunlight. Then it goes down.
