760221SB.MAY Lectures So people do not understand. Therefore they are called mudhas.(asses) They
are simply making arrangement how to become happy. It is not possible
to become happy here. That’s a fact. But still they are. Therefore
they are called mudhas, rascals. Which will never be possible, and
they are trying for that. You see, whole world is trying to be happy.
They are discovering so many technological arts, but they are dying.
They cannot. They have invented horseless carriage, having very, I
mean to say, speedy carriages, but there are so many dangers. Every
moment the life can go, the motor accident. It is happening in the
Western country. So whatever you do for the advancement of material
civilization, you are one side increasing more danger. If you did not
discover these aeroplane and motorcar, then death would not have been
so easier. You could live at least for some days. But because you have
discovered some facilities, your death is also very become near. So
this is prakrti. You are trying to solve the problem in one way, and
the problem is becoming more dangerous and difficult by the laws of
nature. That these rascals cannot find even. They continually working.
There is a verse in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, pasyann api na pasyati.
They are so big rascals that pasyann api na pasyati: even they are
seeing every moment that “All our endeavors are being baffled,” still,
they’ll try for it. They’ll try for it, again and again. Punah punas
carvita-carvananam. These things are… Punah punah, again and again,
chewing the chewed, this is their business. Therefore they are called
mudhas. The mudhas,(asses)…”

Therefore the sastra advises, “You simply make one attempt, how to
advance in Krsna consciousness. Otherwise you are not…” Only one
thing. That chance you cannot get in other form of life, that a cat,
dog, you do not get this. And what is that? Tasyaiva hetoh prayateta
kovido na labhyate yad bhramatam upary adhah. By the laws of nature
you are getting different types of body in different planets, in
different situation and so on, so on, eight million, four hun… You
are loitering in this way, but you could not get Krsna consciousness.
Now here is the chance, human form of life, and the Krsna
consciousness movement is there. Take it seriously. Tasyaiva hetoh
prayeteta kovidah. If you are actually intelligent–kovido means very
intelligent–then you take. You must. Krsna yei bhaje sei bada catura:
“Anyone who takes to Krsna consciousness, he’s first-class intelligent
person.” All other: fools, rascals. You can call them. There is no
harm. They are actually fools and rascal, who has not taken. And it is
not our manufactured word. Krsna said, na mam duskrtino mudhah
prapadyante naradhamah. Anyone who is not surrendered to Krsna, anyone
who is not Krsna conscious, he is rascal, he’s sinful, he’s lowest of
the mankind, he has no knowledge, he’s gone to hell. This is our
conclusion. Sometimes they come to fight us that “Sir, you said such a
great man, ‘rascal.’ ” But we must say, “Yes, he is a rascal. Where is
his greatness?” Harav abhaktasya kuto mahad-guna. Anyone who is not
Krsna conscious, he cannot be a great man. This is our conclusion.
There is no question. Immediately, as soon as you see he’s against
Krsna, or he does not know Krsna, then he’s a rascal, That’s all.
