Prabhupāda: Well, unless you have got enjoyment, how can you continue your activities? Do you think that in any activity which you . . . in which you do not feel happy or enjoy, do you, can you continue that activity? No. Therefore Kṛṣṇa consciousness means the more you become active in Kṛṣṇa conscious, the more you become joyful. Ānandamayo 'bhyāsāt (Vedānta-sūtra 1.1.12). That means your real life becomes revealed, joyful life. And as you become joyful, so you are more energetic to work for Kṛṣṇa. That will give you impetus.

They are feeling, yes, joyful. There are so many attraction on material life. Oh, how they can forget? How they can forget?

Especially in your country, there are so many facilities of material enjoyment, and how they can forget all these unless they have got some enjoyment? So it is practical. The more you engage yourself in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the more you feel joy, joyer. That is joyful life.
