If a father is very rich man and he has got many sons, he wants to see the sons very happy. But if the sons go away from home and becomes crazy, do not come back home, the father is more anxious than the son. The son does not understand that what is his precarious condition of life in this material world, but God understands that how much in miserable condition he's living. Threefold miserable condition of this material existence. He's always disturbed, but still, he does not wish to go back to Godhead. Therefore there is a constant endeavor on the part of God to reclaim these conditioned souls.

So Prahlāda Mahārāja says that even if he's born in the family of the dog-eaters, but if he has dedicated his body, mind and words for the service of the Lord, he is better than such ''brahmin'' who has got all the good qualification but he has no attachment for God, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the comparison. 

Why you are giving so much importance to the man, even if he is born in a lower family? He says, ''manye tad-arpita-mano-vacana īhā''. ''Īhā'' means endeavor. Anyone who has engaged this endeavor for the service of the Lord . . . Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī has described about this person whose endeavor is always in the service of the Lord. How? Just like the members of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness society. What is their endeavor? Their only endeavor is how this Kṛṣṇa consciousness should be spread all over the world. 

Why they're endeavoring? Because Kṛṣṇa wants it. Kṛṣṇa wants it. God wants it. Why God wants it? Because we are all sons of God. We have gone to dog. Instead of going to God, we have gone to dog. Therefore God is very anxious to reclaim us. He comes therefore in person, Kṛṣṇa. He sends His son, Lord Jesus Christ, or He sends His devotee. He leaves behind Him the books like ''Bhagavad-gītā'' or ''Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam'' or many other such literatures. Why? To reclaim these obstinate, bewildered sons of God. They have forgotten God, and they are, instead of loving God, they are now loving dog. Therefore God is very anxious. 

It is natural. If a father is very rich man and he has got many sons, he wants to see the sons very happy. But if the sons go away from home and becomes crazy, do not come back home, the father is more anxious than the son. The son does not understand that what is his precarious condition of life in this material world, but God understands that how much in miserable condition he's living—threefold miserable condition of this material existence. He's always disturbed, but still, he does not wish to go back to Godhead. Therefore there is a constant endeavor on the part of God to reclaim these conditioned souls.

Who are conditioned souls? Those who have got this material body. They are called conditioned souls. Because this material body means you have to live under certain conditions. Just like I require fan. Why? Because I have been put into the condition of warm. I cannot tolerate it, but I have to live. Similarly, severe cold. I do not want it, but I have to live. I do not want set fire at home, but there is fire, and there is fire brigade. In this way, in every step of our life we are always in danger.

But foolish persons, they do not understand it. They are thinking that "I am happy." They are thinking . . . this is called illusion, ''māyā''. Actually, he's unhappy in every step, but the spell of ''māyā'', or illusion, is so strong that even in the lowest stage of life, anyone will think that he's happy. Even in the animals, you have experienced that so many animals, they are living in such miserable condition, but still, he does not like to give up this body. So . . . but the pain is more felt by God than the living creature in this conditioned life. So it is always . . . there is an always endeavor on the part of God to send His representative, He comes Himself, He gives book.
