The whole Vedic instruction is like that: "Now you utilize this form of life to make a solution of this problem. Don't die . . . before death comes, you make a solution. Don't die like cats and dogs." No. And one who tries . . . the Veda says, etad viditvā yaḥ prayāti sa brāhmaṇaḥ: "One who dies after attempting to make a solution of the problems, he is brahmin." And one who dies like cats and dog, he is called kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇa means a very less intelligent man.

This body should be utilized properly, how to solve the problem. If we simply give ourself in the waves of the cycle of birth and death, of different types of body, that is not very good intelligence. Not intelligence at all. So this human form of life should be utilized how to make solution of the problems. That is Vedic civilization. They stressed more on the solution of the problems . . .

(break) . . . create problems. The materialistic way of life means to increase and create problems. That is not perfect human civilization. The perfect human civilization is that you have to sit very calmly quietly and philosophically think, "How to solve the problem? Where I shall get the knowledge?" This is human possible.

The whole Vedic instruction is like that: "Now you utilize this form of life to make a solution of this problem. Don't die . . . before death comes, you make a solution. Don't die like cats and dogs." No. And one who tries . . . the Veda says, etad viditvā yaḥ prayāti sa brāhmaṇaḥ: "One who dies after attempting to make a solution of the problems, he is brahmin." And one who dies like cats and dog, he is called kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇa means a very less intelligent man.

So we should not die like cats and dog. We should die like brahmin. Even in one life this solution is not made, then you get next life opportunity. Just like all these boys who have come to us, it is to be understood that they tried in their last life also for making a solution of this problem, but it was not finished; there is another opportunity. These things are stated in the Bhagavad-gītā.
