Family attachment blinds people to their true purpose; only Krishna consciousness brings lasting peace and perfection.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] [leads chanting, etc.] kuṭumba poṣāya viyan nijāyur na budhyate 'rthaṁ vihataṁ pramattaḥ sarvatra tāpa-traya-duḥkhitātmā nirvidyate na sva-kuṭumba-rāmaḥ [SB 7.6.14] [03:19] Translation: "One who is too attached cannot understand that he is wasting his valuable life for the maintenance of his family.
He also fails to understand that the purpose of human life, a life suitable for realization of the Absolute Truth, is being imperceptibly spoiled. However, he is very cleverly attentive to seeing that not a single farthing is lost by mismanagement. Thus although an attached person in material existence always suffers from threefold miseries, he does not develop a distaste for the way of material existence." Prabhupāda: kuṭumba poṣāya viyan nijāyur na budhyate 'rthaṁ vihataṁ pramattaḥ sarvatra tāpa-traya-duḥkhitātmā nirvidyate na sva-kuṭumba-rāmaḥ [SB 7.6.14] So, more we become implicated in this material world, more we suffer from the threefold miseries, ādhyātmika, ādhibhautika, ādhidaivika. But by the grace of māyā we forget them on account of our pleasing atmosphere in the family—kuṭumbha-rāmaḥ.
Therefore it is said, ramante yoginaḥ anante [Cc Madhya 9.29]. Those who are yogīs... There are many different types of yogīs. Of all of them, bhakta-yogī, ramante yoginaḥ anante.
The difference between yogī and bhogī... There are two classes. Bhogī means those who are trying to enjoy this material world, they are called bhogī. And there is another word, rogī.
Rogī means diseased. Neither yogī nor a bhogī. Yogī means transcendentalist, trying to go back to home, back to Godhead, they are called yogī. And those who are only interested with this material happiness, they are called bhogī.
And those who are neither of them, they are called rogī. So those who are yogī, they are first class. yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gatenāntarātmanā śraddhāvān bhajate yo māṁ sa me yuktatamo mataḥ [Bg 6.47] "Of all the yogīs," yoginām api sarveṣāṁ mad-gatenāntarātmanā, "always thinking of Kṛṣṇa," śraddhāvān, "very faithful," bhajate mām, "always engaged in My service, he is first-class yogī." So our business is how to become yogī, bhakta-yogī. That is the mission of life. Unfortunately, we are not given the opportunity.
It is the duty of the guardians, family, natural guardian, father and mother, and political guardian, the government, the teacher, the guru; it is the duty to give facility—facility for achievement of the highest goal of life. Unfortunately, it is always... But at the present moment, on account of Kali-yuga, they do not know what is the aim of life, how the dependents should be trained up. It is the duty of the king to train up the citizens.
