Because we are part and parcel of God, therefore we are also have got the same chemicals, but not proportionally the same quantity. That is the difference. This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's philosophy: acintya bheda bheda, simultaneously one and different. One, because containing the same, er, chemically. One, the same drop of seawater—but not one, because sea is very large, and small drop is small. So we have got the desire.

So our desires, the large quantity of desires. A drop of water, if it remains in the sea, then it has the facility to possess the same quantity. And if you remain aside, then the quantity will to . . . those . . . bhogaiśvarya-prasaktānāṁ tayāpahṛta-cetasām (BG 2.44). Those who are . . . position is very small but wants to enjoy like Kṛṣṇa, they are rascals. Position is very small proportionately, but want to enjoy like Kṛṣṇa, they are fools.

Therefore those who are very much attached to this material nature, they are unfortunate; they cannot understand Kṛṣṇa or Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is not possible. Therefore according to our proportion, we are to minimize. Then you do. So our Society, therefore, minimizes. Not stops—minimizes. Just like we say no illicit sex. We don't say no sex. That we don't say, because life is . . . so long the life is there, the sex must be there.

So long life is there, eating must be there. So long the life is there, sleeping must be there. But not that sleeping twenty, twenty-five hours, and sex as much as they like, and eating voraciously. And defense—there is no limit how to do it. Now they have come to atomic defense, and still . . . (indistinct) . . . in this way if we keep our civilization, it will never be happy. Never be. It is simply will 'o the wisp, that's all.

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very scientific movement, for the peaceful situation of the whole human civilization. Try to understand the philosophy and the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Don't be misled by sense gratification. Then you will . . . grow . . . and if you understand the philosophy and the science, then you will be able to do good to the whole humanity.
