Today you may be Indian, prime minister; tomorrow you may be a dog in some other country. They do not know these laws.

:''prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni''
:''guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ''
:''ahaṅkāra vimūḍhātmā''
:''kartāham iti manyate''
:([[Vanisource:BG 3.27 (1972)|BG 3.27]])

You are not independent. Nobody is independent. Today you maybe something; tomorrow you may be something. But you must search out your real life. That is intelligence. That is intelligence. That intelligence is given by the Vaiṣṇava. 

Therefore Vaiṣṇava has got a very, very great responsibility. My Guru Mahārāja pointed out, Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura,

:''mana tumi kīsera vaiṣṇava''?
:''pratiṣṭhāra tare, nirjanera ghare'',
:''tava hari-nāma kevala''

Formerly people used to know that "If I take a ''mālā'' and sit down in a secluded place . . ." Of course, that is good; that is not bad. But the real business of Vaiṣṇava is not for himself, but for others. Just like the example given by Rūpa Gosvāmī: ''nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma saṁsthāpakau lokānāṁ hita-kāriṇau. Lokānāṁ-hita-kāriṇau'', not personal ''hita-kāriṇau''. Personal ''hita-kāriṇau'' is not high-class Vaiṣṇava—"I shall become liberated. Let me give up everything and sit down." Sometimes that is also good, but sometimes we take it to get cheap adoration from innocent public, that "Here is a Vaiṣṇava. He sits down." No. My Guru Mahārāja, Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, he was not that type of Vaiṣṇava. You should remember. That is his special gift. He wanted every one of his disciples to go and preach the cult of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted. Here we are in the Caitanya Mahāprabhu's country, birthplace. We should remember. Caitanya Mahāprabhu of course asked every Indian to take His mission. At least Bengalis should take Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission. So Caitanya Mahāprabhu . . .What is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mission?

:''āmāra ājnāya guru hañā, tara ei deśa''
:''yāre dekha, tāre kaha 'kṛṣṇa'-upadeśa''
:([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 7.128|CC Madhya 7.128]])

Even if you cannot go outside, it doesn't matter. Wherever you are, either you are here in Nabadwip or in Calcutta, anywhere, so you just become a ''guru''. Don't remain a rascal. You become a ''guru''. "Now, how can I become a ''guru''? I am not very educated." No! You don't require to be very highly educated rascal. Simply repeat Kṛṣṇa consciousness as Kṛṣṇa said—you become ''guru''. Unfortunately, we don't care for Kṛṣṇa's instruction. We are busy with this ism, that ism, that ism. 

So we should remember—I don't wish to take much time—just to say Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, he took this Caitanya Mahāprabhu's instruction very seriously, and he wanted his disciple to do. Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura also wanted that, and Bhaktisiddhānta . . . This Māyāpur is meant for this purpose: to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world, as it was desired by Caitanya Mahāprabhu. ''Pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma sarvatra pracāra'' (CB ''Antya-khaṇḍa'' 4.126). So the beginning is there. We are preaching all over the world, and you, my dear friends from Europe and America, you have taken this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Again I shall repeat the same logic: ''andha-paṅgu-nyāya. Andha-paṅgu-nyāya. Andha'' means blind, and ''paṅgu'' means lame. Both of them are useless. ''Andha'' cannot see, he cannot walk; and the lame man cannot walk. ''Andha'' can walk but cannot see, and the lame man can see but cannot walk. Now let them both combine together. So the whole world is suffering for want of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or spiritual life. If American money and Indian culture mix together, the whole world will be benefited. That is my ambition. Take Indian culture and help with American money. The whole world will be happy.</p>
