Prabhupāda: I don't want old age, I don't want die, but death is forced upon me, old age is forced, and there is no solution, and they are declaring themselves as scientists, philosophers, advanced. They are avoiding the major problem, and still their problem is civilization, advancement of knowledge. Just see their stupidity. There is a problem, big problem, and they cannot solve it, and still they are proud of their advancement of knowledge. How much foolish they are, just consider.
And we have to deal with all these rascals and fools, so there must be hard labor. Because we are servant of Kṛṣṇa, we have to execute the order of Kṛṣṇa. That is our business. Success or failure, that's not our business. Kṛṣṇa says that, "You surrender unto Me." We have to preach this cult. We surrender unto Kṛṣṇa, and you be saved from the problems of your life. That is our business. They may not hear it—that is up to them—but as servant of Kṛṣṇa we have to push on this movement.
Devotee: If they are hearing, Srila Prabhupada. Somehow or other they are hearing.
Prabhupāda: Yes, yes, any sane man will hear. But the major portion of the so-called leaders in the society, they are . . . (indistinct) . . . and still they are proud. They cannot make a solution, and still they are very much proud of their education, their social status. Just see the illusion.
