You cannot make any permanent settlement within this material world. That is not possible. The nature is made so, whatever you do, for the time being you relish that "I have done something, I am now very comfortably situated," and so on, so on, but time will come, you will be kicked off from your position.

Of course, Kṛṣṇa is very kind. If anyone wants . . . just like Dhruva Mahārāja wanted to develop his economic condition. Kṛṣṇa gave him. Kṛṣṇa gives. He is very kind. But that is not the purpose of developing Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kṛṣṇa consciousness should be pure—simply to serve the Lord.

:''anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ''
:''jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam''
:''ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-''
:''śīlanaṁ bhaktir uttamā''
:(Brs. 1.1.11)

So Prahlāda Mahārāja first of all said: "My dear father, anyone whose vow is to live in this material world very comfortably, although there is no possibility of comfort . . ." This is called ''māyā''. But they are trying to be comfortable. They are trying to be comfortable. ''Punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām'' ([[vanisource:SB 7.5.30|SB 7.5.30]]). They have seen that Roman Empire was lost, Greek Empire was lost, Mogul Empire was lost; still, they tried for British Empire, and it has failed. They are called ''punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām''. The things which have been thrown away after chewing, again chewing the same thing. That is called ''gṛha-vratānām''.

You cannot make any permanent settlement within this material world. That is not possible. The nature is made so, whatever you do, for the time being you relish that, "I have done something, I am now very comfortably situated," and so on, so on, but time will come, you will be kicked off from your position. You will be again thrown into the wilderness. Therefore they do not know. That will be explained also. They do not know what is the aim of life. ''Na te viduḥ svārtha-gatiṁ hi viṣṇum'' ([[vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]). They do not know. They are foolish. ''Andhā yathāndhair''. Their foolish leaders also misleading them.
