This is greatest contribution of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, to fight against this attack of material influence. Everyone is subjected. Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā (BG 7.14). Under the three modes of material nature people are entangled. So to get out of this, the same proposition, as I explained in the beginning, to get out of this entanglement of constant transmigrating from one body to another, so this is the mantra, simply to . . . yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣam. Puṇḍarīkākṣam means Kṛṣṇa.

Hong Kong flu. Yes. So everyone took that vaccination. So our Hayagrīva prabhu took me also. "Alright, let us have." (laughter) So there was no attack. Fortunately, there was no attack. So similarly, this world is Hong Kong flu. (laughter) Māyā is always ready to attack. Always. So we have to take this injunction, this anti-vaccine, Hare Kṛṣṇa. Enechi auṣadhi māyā nāśibāro lāgi' (Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura).

That song, Jīv Jāgo, Jīv Jāgo. "I have brought this medicine for killing this Hong Kong flu of māyā." (laughter) Enechi auṣadhi māyā nāśibāro lāgi', hari-nāma mahā-mantra lao . . . now you take.

This is greatest contribution of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, to fight against this attack of material influence. Everyone is subjected. Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā (BG 7.14). Under the three modes of material nature people are entangled. So to get out of this, the same proposition, as I explained in the beginning, to get out of this entanglement of constant transmigrating from one body to another, so this is the mantra, simply to . . . yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣam. Puṇḍarīkākṣam means Kṛṣṇa.

So if you chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, you'll be forced to remember Him. As soon as the word "Kṛṣṇa" is there, and the more you are practiced to this habit, then simply we'll see Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa—nothing more. You'll see nothing. Sarvatra sphūrti tāra iṣṭa-deva mūrti (CC Madhya 8.274). As you make advance, then you'll see a tree, but you'll see Kṛṣṇa; you'll not see the form of tree.

Sarvatra sphūrti tāra iṣṭa-deva . . . because one who is conversant with the science of Kṛṣṇa, he'll know how His energies are working in so many ways; therefore he'll be sympathetic. That is universal vision. That is universal love. If you love Kṛṣṇa, then there will be universal love. Otherwise it will be simply talks.

So yaḥ smaret puṇḍarīkākṣaṁ sa bahyābhyantara. He is always in the uncontaminated stage, noninfected stage. So this is very nice. One should take it seriously. One should try to understand it seriously. Your life will be sublime. So the meaning of this namo apavitraḥ pavitro vā sarvāvasthām—any condition. We don't make any condition. There is no condition. Why shall we . . .? Anyone can accept. Sarvāvasthām, any position.
