Antakam means death. So death is called māyā. You are thinking, "Now I have arranged everything. Things are going very nicely. Now I'm very happy." But, all of a sudden, the death comes. That you cannot avoid. All of a sudden. That is . . . death is described in the Bhagavad-gītā . . . what is that death? That death is Kṛṣṇa, or God. That is stated in the Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā: mṛtyu sarva-haraś ca aham (BG 10.34). That means when death will come, your all asset, your so-called children, your family, your bank balance, your friends, your country, your leadership, your pride and everything will be taken.

Antakam means death. So death is called māyā. You are thinking, "Now I have arranged everything. Things are going very nicely. Now I'm very happy." But, all of a sudden, the death comes. That you cannot avoid. All of a sudden. That is . . . death is described in the Bhagavad-gītā . . . what is that death? That death is Kṛṣṇa, or God. That is stated in the Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā: mṛtyu sarva-haraś ca aham ([[Vanisource:BG 10.34 (1972)|BG 10.34]]). That means when death will come, your all asset, your so-called children, your family, your bank balance, your friends, your country, your leadership, your pride and everything will be taken. That will be taken by Kṛṣṇa.

The atheist class, who does not believe in God, he'll see God at the end of life when he cannot do anything. But before that, if he sees God, then his life is saved. Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti ([[Vanisource:BG 4.9 (1972)|BG 4.9]]). But that they'll not accept. "What is God? I don't care for . . . there is no God." "All right. Wait. God will come." (laughter) And at that time he said that . . . the Hiraṇyakaśipu, he always defied the son's, the small child, five-years-old boy. His only fault was he was chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. And even the father, what to speak of others, he became his enemy. So don't think that Kṛṣṇa consciousness will go without any difficulty. There will be so many difficulties. Even your father will be enemy. This is the history, traced.

So this father, Hiraṇyakaśipu, he defied God: "Who is God? I am God. You take my name." The child said, "My dear father, you are not God." He would never address his father as "father." He addressed him "the best of the asuras." (laughter) "My dear best of the asuras," tat sādhu manye asura-vārya dehinām. After all, the relationship is father and son. So one day the father took him, "My dear son, what you have learned, the best thing, from your teachers? Tell me." "Yes, I'll tell you." "What is that?" Tat sādhu manye asura-varya. He never addressed "father." "O the best of the asuras." Asura-vārya means "the best of the asura." Tad sādhu manye: "I think that is very good thing." "What is that?" Tad sādhu manye asura-vārya dehināṁ sadā samudvigna-dhiyām asad-grahāt ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.5|SB 7.5.5]]). "All these people, they're simply full of anxieties." That's a fact. Who's not full of anxieties? Those who are in this material world, who can say, "No, I have no anxiety"? That is not possible. Either you become President Nixon or in the street beggar, there is anxiety. At any moment danger may come. They are busy.
