Prabhupāda: So this wonderful philosophy you have to present.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: It's going to be nice and much quieter now, Prabhupāda, with this window closed.

Devotee (2): (indistinct) Without this way of life that you've given us, life would be intolerable in the material world for one who is thoughtful.

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is discussed (indistinct Bengali) Unless one understands this philosophy, he simply suffers. And because they are suffering, their only solace is this wine. They cannot find out any other. The more dull-headed, this liquor is solace for the śūdra class. In India, the liquor is taken by the lowest class, not intelligent class—the washerman, the cobbler, the butcher, like that. Most less, degraded. (bus restarts) Ataeva māyā tāre deya saṁsāra-duḥkha. You continue to suffer. They are missing the point, struggling for existence. They have created this civilization, material civilization, full of factories. It is simply suffering, nothing but suffering. Maybe the factory proprietor may get some profit, but actually it is a place of suffering. Those who are working in the factory, they are simply suffering.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: That is mentioned here. Ataeva māyā tāre deya saṁsāra-duḥkha.

Prabhupāda: Saṁsāra-duḥkha. Create suffering, one after another. Suffering.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: "When the living entity forgets his constitutional position as an eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa, he is immediately entrapped by the illusory external energy."

Prabhupāda: Become a servant of (indistinct). We are servant of Kṛṣṇa... (break) We are not going to be servant of (indistinct). Unless I give up Kṛṣṇa consciousness, there is no scope for being..., to become servant. Just like this Subala, he is now washing dishes in a hotel.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: And I heard that Madhudviṣa is now sweeping a floor in a restaurant.

Prabhupāda: What do you think? (laughs) And what you were doing?

Devotee: Me, I was selling jewelry.

Prabhupāda: I heard that you are driving car, you are a taxi driver(?).

Devotee: I tried it for a few weeks. For a couple of weeks.

Prabhupāda: We have to do this. As soon as we give up Kṛṣṇa consciousness, these things are ready, "Come on." Kṛṣṇa bhuliya jīva bhoga vañcha kare pāśate māyā tāre jāpaṭiyā dhare. "Yes, please come." There is no other alternative. Either serve Kṛṣṇa or serve māyā, that's all. So unless one is rascal, how he will accept māyā's service? Māyā's service is not very palatable. But māyā is ready.
