Real duty is Krishna consciousness; all else, including nationalism, is maya keeping souls degraded.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — April 23, 1974, Hyderabad 740423MW-HYDERABAD [33:59 Minutes] Walk_740423MW-HYDERABAD Mahāṁsa: ...persons serving..., taking people from..., who are serving Kṛṣṇa into serving their sense gratification.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Engage them. Māyā... It is not actually māyā's fault.
It is māyā's business that all living entities who are within this material world, they have come to enjoy. Enjoy means sense gratification. So māyā is kind enough to give them all facilities. That is māyā's business.
Māyā has a machine, these three qualities, and as I want to enjoy, so there are departmental arrangements, "Give him facilities like this." Prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ [Bg. 3.27]. [aside:] Hare Kṛṣṇa. Huh?
Satsvarūpa: But the facility turns out to be slaps.
Prabhupāda: Slaps... [to Mahāṁsa, as traffic passes:] We will go on the street? Mahāṁsa: It's not very... It's all right.
Prabhupāda: Let us see. [break] Just like children, they are given some facilities, they must work according to that plan. Otherwise sometimes there is slap: "Huh, why you are doing like that?" like that. [japa] [break] ...your country.
