First of all you become mature; then secluded place. Otherwise there is no secluded place. Māyā is everywhere. Māyā will dictate, "Oh, you are so tired. Why don't you come out and smoke a cigarette?" Yes. And he thinks he is advancing, the nonsense is advancing. No. Phalena paricīyate. By the result one has to be judged how far he has advanced. Similarly, there are so many persons, they are meditating.
What meditating, nonsense? What is their character? If we challenge their character: nonsense. So these sort of things will not help. Come practically forward. Just like our students, going door to door, chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. And people are taking advantage of it, they are hearing. This, this process is beneficial to the public. Even a small child who joins here, he also claps, tries to clap.
So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not to remain in a secluded place to get cheap advertisement, "Oh, that man is meditating." No. Go, practically work. Just like Lord Jesus Christ, he practically worked. So there is practical work. No question of going into the secluded place. We should remain in the congested city and preach this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement without being affected by this contamination of city life. That is perfection. They shall not be contaminated, touched by the contamination of the city life, but still, they will go on with Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is perfection.
