Cānakya Paṇḍita also said that those who are advancing in spiritual life, they should place before him that, "Here is death," just before him. And those who are karmīs, like ass, they'll always think that, "I'll never die." The spiritualist always think that, "I am dying, dying, going to die next moment." And the karmīs, he should think that, "I'll live forever." Otherwise he cannot work.

Everyone has seen that as soon as there is earthquake, they began to scream: "Oh, now I'm going to die, going to die." As soon as there is any shaking in the aeroplane, they began to scream. (laughter) He's afraid of death, but he says: "Oh, that is not a problem." You see? He has got his experience that at the time of death it is very severe punishment. Therefore Bhagavad-gītā says, janma-mṛtyu-jarā-vyādhi-duḥkha-doṣānudarśanam: "You may be satisfied with your foolish idea that you are very happy, but if you are intelligent, then you must always keep yourself . . ."

The Cānakya Paṇḍita also said that those who are advancing in spiritual life, they should place before him that, "Here is death," just before him. And those who are karmīs, like ass, they'll always think that, "I'll never die." The spiritualist always think that, "I am dying, dying, going to die next moment." And the karmīs, he should think that, "I'll live forever." Otherwise he cannot work. He cannot. Unless he is put into this ignorance that he'll never die, he cannot work.

So at the modern age the people are simply kept into ignorance so that they can work like ass and cow and be satisfied. This is the present civilization. And this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is a fight against this civilization, this wrong civilization. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness . . . the people are being denied their privilege. The human life is meant for getting out of this ignorance of life. But people are put into ignorance, and their human life is being spoiled. So therefore this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is the greatest welfare activities to the human society. Those who are intelligent enough, they should try to understand it and help it as much as possible. Otherwise it is very risky civilization. People are kept into ignorance. He does not know what is the value of life. He does not know what he is. He does not know what is God. He does not know what is life. He does not know what he is going to become next life. He's completely in darkness.
