Human life exists solely to develop Krishna consciousness; all else is illusory fraud masquerading in material dress.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Room Conversation with American Banker — September 21, 1973, Bombay 730921R2-BOMBAY [88:02 Minutes] Conv_730921R2-BOMBAY Prabhupāda: All these things are, they are simply māyā. Māyā-sukhāya bharam udvahato vimūḍhān [SB 7.9.43]. These rascal, they are working so hard, making gorgeous arrangement. For what?
For illusory sense gratification. That sense gratification is also false. Real sense gratification is in Kṛṣṇa and kṛṣṇa-dhāma. Hlādinī, sandhinī, saṁvit, perverted in this material life. Āhlāda-tapa-kārī miśrayate tair na guṇa-varjite[?].
Here āhlāda, pleasure, and tapa-kārī, pain, and mixture of āhlāda. This is the position. Tair na guṇa-varjite[?]. This kind of pleasure is not in Kṛṣṇa, guṇa-varjite, because He is free from the material contamination.
So anyway, the human life is only meant for... This is our mission, to teach that "You are simply wasting your time. Take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness." That is his only business. And next business is, those who cannot directly take to, then those, they should be helping this movement.
Therefore we go door to door, to connect them, to be linked up with this movement, Life Member, this member, that member... They are misunderstanding, "They have no other good business. Transcendental fraud, giving us some book and taking money and eating and sleeping. They have got..." They are thinking like that.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: So we should preach strongly, and they should know that we also preach.
Prabhupāda: Yes. They should know that it is for their benefit we are making them Life Member, not for our benefit. And that should be the motive. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They should give with that motive. Prabhupāda: Yes. We should deal with them so that they may develop their Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
