Everyone knows, "But I desire that I may not die, my body may not be vanquished. That is my desire." But nobody is meditating upon this subject matter. They have learned some meditation—I do not know what kind of medi . . . this is meditation: matiṁ cakre. Svaḥ-pathāya matiṁ cakre nibhṛtātmā yudhiṣṭhiraḥ. So these things are to be solved. So Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja, now he will retire after this. So he will give up the kingdom. Not that . . . this is the Vedic system. However rich you may be, however prosperous you may be at your home or in your nation or in any way as you think, but you have to think that, "Actually, these things are temporary. I am eternal. So what is my eternal function?" That is meditation, "What is my eternal function? What is my eternal duty? Where is my eternal home?" That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

I accept something now, I reject something again. So this body is being manufactured according to the acceptance and rejection of my mind, the body is formed. Otherwise why we have different body? We are sitting here, so many boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. Nobody's body will exactly tally with other body. No. Because the face is the index of mind. You have got different types of mind; therefore you have got different types of body. Not everyone's.

But nobody is meditating upon this subject matter. They have learned some meditation—I do not know what kind of medi . . . this is meditation: matiṁ cakre. Svaḥ-pathāya matiṁ cakre nibhṛtātmā yudhiṣṭhiraḥ. So these things are to be solved. So Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja, now he will retire after this. So he will give up the kingdom. Not that . . . this is the Vedic system. However rich you may be, however prosperous you may be at your home or in your nation or in any way as you think, but you have to think that, "Actually, these things are temporary. I am eternal. So what is my eternal function?" That is meditation, "What is my eternal function? What is my eternal duty? Where is my eternal home?" That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
