	Similarly, in the material world, whatever service you render, that is spoiling time. But you render service to Kṛṣṇa, you will be satisfied, Kṛṣṇa will be satisfied, and as Kṛṣṇa will be satisfied, everyone will be satisfied. So take to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness service by hearing, by speaking, by remembering, by giving actually service, by worshiping, by making friendship and, after all, everything for Kṛṣṇa. That is perfection.		Similarly, in the material world, whatever service you render, that is spoiling time.

	There is another example in Indian words, ''jo hira chori kiya o bhi chor'', ''jo khīra chori kiyā o bhi chor''. ''Hira'' means diamond, and ''khīra'' means . . . what is that called? Cucumber, a small? So if somebody has stolen a cucumber from other's tree, so he is captured. And another man has stolen some diamond, he is also arrested. So from the police, both are thieves. If the man says: "Oh, what I have stolen? I have stolen a little cucumber. It is nothing, worth not even two cent or one cent. Why you are arresting me? He is thief. He has stolen big diamond," no, in the eyes of law, he is also thief, he is also thief.

	Everyone is thief. Anyone who is not in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he is thief. He'll not be happy. The best thing is to return whatever he has possessed, "Kṛṣṇa, it is Yours. Take it." Finish business.

And the cure means he enjoys—whatever he thinks enjoyment, that is unlimited. ''Yasmād brahma-saukhyam anantam'' ([[SB 5.5.1]]). ''Brahma-saukhyam'', eternal happiness, unending happiness.
