Only the devotee who wants nothing but Krishna finds lasting happiness; all others remain trapped in endless wanting.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Come here. Sit down. Hare Kṛṣṇa. [Transl. Please come, come this side. There is place here.] Devotee (1): We kindly request all of you to please move in a little more down.
Indian man: [Transl. We live in Vṛndāvana.]
Prabhupāda: Ācchā. Ah, Vṛndāvana. So we are publishing these books, altogether about eighty-four books, to prove that kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam. This is our...
There is God, and the Supreme Being, Supreme Lord, is Kṛṣṇa. Ete cāṁśa-kalāḥ puṁsaḥ kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam [SB 1.3.28]. This verdict of Vyāsadeva we are preaching. [to Pradyumna:] You can speak something about Kṛṣṇa?
Pradyumna: nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale śrīmate bhaktivedānta- svāmin iti nāmine namas te sārasvate devum gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādipāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe [break] ...yad indriya-prītaya āpṛṇoti. For one who is... Prabhupāda: Pramattaḥ. Pradyumna: One who is pramattaḥ... One who is... Pramattaḥ means mad or illu... Prabhupāda: More than.
Prakṛṣṭa-rūpeṇa mattaḥ. Mattaḥ means mad, drunkard; and pramattaḥ means more than mad. So generally people, they have become mad after sense enjoyment. Everyone is busy for sense enjoyment.
This is material life. And when they are fed up, no more available, so they become tyāgī—frustration, that "Grapes are sour." The jackal jumped over to get the grapes, but when he could not obtain it, then he rejects, "Ah, what is the use of the grapes? It is sour." So karmīs, they are pramattaḥ, mad after enjoying; and jñānīs, being fed up, they say, brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā: "The world is useless." So this is going on. The karmīs, they want to enjoy this material world, and the jñānīs, they are little advanced.
