“Your progress means you simply work hard. And because you are illusioned, that hard-working, you are thinking progress, happiness.”
Prabhupada, Vrndavana, November 14, 1972: […] We see, in America, they’re increasing the number of motorcars and the problem is road. One flyway above another flyway, another another. The flyway construction is going on perpetually. Is it not? And this is called advancement.
The rascals do not know that “I am simply laboring, laboring, laboring. Where is the stoppage of laboring? ” No. That you cannot stop. Your progress means you simply work hard. And because you are illusioned, that hard-working, you are thinking progress, happiness. That’s all.
This is called maya. He is working just like an ass. The ass, ass is working whole day and night for the washerman for a morsel of grass. But ass, why it is called ass?
He can, the ass can have grasses anywhere, but he, for that, he’s working very hard for the washerman. Therefore he’s ass. He has no sense that “Why I shall work for this washerman so hard? I can get this morsel of grass anywhere.” But he’ll work.
So ass politician, ass family man, ass community leader. So… All asses, mudhah. Na mam prapadyante mudhah. All asses. They’ll not surrender to Krishna to get relief. They’ll work like ass. Therefore Krishna says, na mam prapadyante mudhah duskrtino naradhamah [Bg. 7.15]
They have no brain, alpa-medhasah. No brain substance. Filled up with cow dung. And those who have got real brain, then, for them it is recommended: sank
krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam sangopangastra-parsadam yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi su-medhasah [SB 11.5.32]
Oh, one who has got brain, he catches Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Krsna-varnam, always chanting Hare Krishna mantra. Sangopangastra-parsadam. And simply worship by chanting Hare Krishna. That is brain substance. All cow dung.
Thank you very much. (end)
