It is the duty of the guardians like guru, like father, like the state, they should look to the interest of the wards, subordinate, that he is developing his Kṛṣṇa consciousness nicely. That is the duty. So when that duty is not done . . . just like . . . we have no business to come so far. In Vṛndāvana I could live very peacefully; there is two room still, in Rādhā-Dāmodara Temple. But because there is Kṛṣṇa consciousness . . . Kṛṣṇa consciousness means serving the Lord. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. So Kṛṣṇa dictated that, "You are sitting here very peacefully, without any botheration. No. You go to the Western countries. Teach them." So that is also Kṛṣṇa consciousness, developed Kṛṣṇa consciousness, to render service to the ignorant of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is better. Because Vyāsadeva saw that māyā, illusory energy, or the shadow, darkness . . . yayā sammohito jīva. The whole world, living entity, conditioned soul, they're bewildered by this māyā, yayā sammohito jīva ātmānaṁ tri-guṇātmakam (SB 1.7.5), thinking this body as self, foolish, rascal.

The whole world, living entity, conditioned soul, they're bewildered by this māyā, yayā sammohito jīva ātmānaṁ tri-guṇātmakam (SB 1.7.5), thinking this body as self, foolish, rascal. Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke (SB 10.84.13). One who thinks that, "I am this body," he's no better than dog and cat. However nicely dressed he may be, he's a dog, he's a cat. That's all. No more than animal. Because he has no knowledge of his self.
