It is a fact that the whole human civilization is a society of cheaters and cheated. That's all. Any field. Māyaiva vyāvahārike (SB 12.2.3). The whole world in this Kali-yuga: māyaiva vyāvahārike. Vyāvahārike means ordinary dealings, there will be cheating. Ordinarily, there will be cheating. Daily affairs. Not to speak of very great things. Ordinary dealings, there will be cheating. That is stated in the Bhāgavata, māyaiva vyāvahārike.

The sooner you get out of this scene is better. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So long you live, you simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and preach Kṛṣṇa's glories, and that's all. Otherwise, you should know that this is dangerous place. Padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ (SB 10.14.58). In every step there is danger.

Prabhupāda: I have seen the doctors and some, I mean to say, ordinary man, illiterate: "What kind of treatment you want? Injection or medicine?" So naturally, he will say: "The best one. I want to . . ." "Then you have to take injection."

Revatīnandana: Or both. You might get both.

Prabhupāda: Yes. I have seen, they have spoken like that. Because the patient will think, "Oh, if I take injection, I'll be very nicely . . . very quickly cured." He will canvass like that. Because if he gives a bottle of medicine, that will not be very costly. But injection in his hand, he'll at least five rupees, that much. So he'll canvass like that, "What kind of treatment you want, injection or ordinary medicine?" So he'll say: "Sir, best medicine I want." "Then you take injection." That's all.
