Those whose minds are absorbed in Krishna consciousness transcend material misery through constant hearing and chanting.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.25.23 — November 23, 1974, Bombay 741123SB-BOMBAY [33:56 Minutes] SB-03.25.23_741123SB-BOMBAY Nitāi: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] mad-āśrayāḥ kathā mṛṣṭāḥ śṛṇvanti kathayanti ca tapanti vividhās tāpā naitān mad-gata-cetasaḥ [SB 3.25.23] [break] [01:57] "Engaged constantly in chanting and hearing about Me, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the sādhus do not suffer from material miseries because they are always filled with thoughts of My pastimes and activities." Prabhupāda: mad-āśrayāḥ kathā mṛṣṭāḥ śṛṇvanti kathayanti ca tapanti vividhās tāpā naitān mad-gata-cetasaḥ [SB 3.25.23] Na etān.
Generally, people, they are suffering. There is nobody in the world, those who are materially engaged, can say boldly that "I am not suffering." Is there anybody? I challenge anyone. Can anyone say that "I am not suffering"?
So everyone must be suffering. Now, why these Anacin tablets are advertised, "pain-killer"? Because they are suffering. And not in this country, but in the Western countries, America, one takes at least one dozen tablet daily for mitigating suffering—tranquilizer, this, that, so many.
They are advertised, and they take. At last, for sleeping. Because they are more advanced. We are less advanced; therefore we are satisfied only one tablet, Anacin.
[laughter] [chuckles] But they are not satisfied with one tablet. They have dozens of tablet. I have seen it. It is advertised in the subway trains.
So many tablets are advertised. Suffering must be there. Anyone who has got this material body has accepted suffering. That's a fact.
But foolish people, they cannot understand. He thinks, "I am got very fatty and beautiful body." He is satisfied. The dog is also satisfied. He does not know that this dog's body is greater suffering than human body.
