Srila Prabhupada, Los Angeles, December 15, 1973: […] So these karmis, they are like ass. They will eat two breads, pieces of bread, and the lady karmi will kick on his face at the time of sex intercourse, and he is very happy. And for this purpose he has no time: “Sir, I have no time.” He is very busy. You go into a karmi office, he will say, “Oh, I cannot see you. I cannot talk. I am very busy.” So what is the result of your business? “Now I will eat two pieces of bread at night, and my wife will kick on my face.” (laughter) Just see the ass.
Therefore how Bhagavata has selected the specific animals, how they are suffering, very instructive. Sva-vid-varahostra-kharaih. He forgets his own business, that he has got this human form of life to understand “What I am, why I am suffering, what is the remedy, how to relieve, how to become relieved this problem.” He has forgotten that. Simply he is busy earning money. Diva carthehaya rajan kutumba-bharanena va [SB 2.1.3]. These karmis, they are thinking that…
dehapatya-kalatradisv atma-sainyesv asatsv api tesam pramatto nidhanam pasyann api na pasyati
For want of real knowledge, atma-jnana… First of all one has to learn actually what he is. Is he this body or something else? That is the beginning. But they do not know. He thinks that “I am body,” deha. And because from this body, I have got relationship with my wife, “Oh, she is my great friend,” and the children, “They are my soldiers. They will protect me.” Dehapatya-kalatradisu atma-sainyesu. He is very safe. “I have got good wife. I have got children. They will save me.”
Nobody will save you, sir. When death will come, you have to give your own account. If you are going to be next life a dog, not your wife, children, or nation or community or anyone will save you. No. Nobody can save you.
The same example, as I have given many times. When the aeroplane, they are going on, but if one aeroplane is in danger, no other aeroplane can save him. But he’s finished. Similarly, every one of us is responsible for my own work. Full Lecture
