And so long you are under this material nature, you have to accept this birth, death, old age and disease. This is your real misery. We are thinking temporary miserable condition. Sastra says that “You don’t require to adjust temporary material misery or happiness, because they will come and go.

You are destined to certain type of miserable condition of life, certain type of so-called happy life. That will automatically come and go just like seasonal changes.” Agamapayino ’nityas tams titiksasva bharata. We are very much happy when we are in a very good condition of life. But that will also not stay. That will also go away. Then miserable condition. Cakravat parivartante sukhani ca duhkhani ca. Sometimes happy, sometimes miserable.
So if you are actually interested to get out of miserable condition, then try to get out of these four miserable condition of life: janma- mrtyu-jara-vyadhi. That is intelligence. Don’t be bothered with the temporary miserable or happy. They will come and go. Tams titiksasva bharata. If you cannot bear, then try to tolerate. That is the qualification of brahmana. Satyam samo damas titiksa, tolerance. We should not be disturbed, “Now I am in miserable condition.” Tolerate. The miserable condition will come this material world. Don’t be very much happy when you are in happy condition of life; neither you become mad in miserable condition of life. Chant Hare Krsna and make your life success. That is required. This is the propaganda of this Hare Krsna movement, or Krsna consciousness.
Thank you very much. (end)
