These rascals are sleeping, thinking life will go in this way, and they have no knowledge that one day death will come and take away all his possessions and kick him out of his place—everyone. This is his ignorance. To give him this knowledge one should go there, not for personal necessities.


Prabhupāda: (indistinct) . . . ruddhā guhāḥ kim ajito. And after all these things, Ajita, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, does He not maintain the servants? Kasmād kavayo bhajanti dhana-durmadāndhān. Why one should go to these intoxicated, blind rich men? This is mendicant's life. Why one should go?

Devotee (2): (aside) Can I go this way?

Devotee (1): Yes, please.

Prabhupāda: . . . (indistinct)

Devotee (1): They go to them for their benefit.

Prabhupāda: For their benefit. Not for your subsistence; for their benefit. These rascals are sleeping, thinking life will go in this way, and they have no knowledge that one day death will come and take away all his possessions and kick him out of his place—everyone. This is his ignorance. To give him this knowledge one should go there, not for personal necessities.

Devotee (1): Hmm.

Prabhupāda: Better we go to the street.

Devotee (1): All right. The street is right over here; we will come out again.
