	"My dear sons, this particular body, human body," ''nāyaṁ deho nṛloke'', "in the human society, is not meant for ''kaṣṭān kāmān''." In order to sense-gratify, one has to accept very, very hard work. ''Na arhate'': "This is not human civilization." ''Kaṣṭān kāmān. Kāmān'' . . . ''kāmān'' means we have got to satisfy our senses, but not by ''kaṣṭān'', taking too much trouble.		"My dear sons, this particular body, human body," ''nāyaṁ deho nṛloke'', "in the human society, is not meant for ''kaṣṭān kāmān''." In order to sense-gratify, one has to accept very, very hard work. ''Na arhate'': "This is not human civilization." ''Kaṣṭān kāmān. Kāmān'' . . . ''kāmān'' means we have got to satisfy our senses, but not by ''kaṣṭān'', taking too much trouble.

	Because the human life is very, very important. ''Bahūnāṁ janmanām ante'': after many, many evolutionary process, ''jala-jā nava-lakṣāṇi sthāvarā lakṣa-viṁśati'' (''Padma Purāṇa'') . . . you have to pass through nine ''lakhs'' of species in the water. You know this is the water; there are so many aquatics. Then gradually they become plants, trees; then gradually insect, reptiles, then birds, ''pakṣiṇāṁ daśa-lakṣaṇam''. There are ten ''lakhs'' species of birds. ''Paśavaḥ triṁśal-lakṣāṇi'': then beast., thirty ''lakhs'' of beast. In Africa there are so many beasts. So this is the information we understand from Vedic literature.		Because the human life is very, very important.

There are ten ''lakhs'' species of birds. ''Paśavaḥ triṁśal-lakṣāṇi'': then beast., thirty ''lakhs'' of beast. In Africa there are so many beasts. So this is the information we understand from Vedic literature.

	Long, long ago, when I was householder, one Jewish doctor—I was doing medical business—so he asked me that, "Mr. Such-and-such, how is that so particularly it is mentioned that there are nine ''lakhs'' species of aquatics, twenty ''lakhs'' species of the trees and plants? How it is ascertained?" This is very intelligent question, and that is Vedic knowledge. Therefore we take it, ''Vedas'', as authority. Those who are followers of ''Vedas'', they do not argue. They take Vedic injunction as final: ''śruti-pramāṇa''. If it is written in the ''Vedas'', the evidence is there, then it is accepted: ''śruti-pramāṇa''.

	So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, please try to understand that it is India's best gift to the whole world. This is a fact. And there is no difficulty. Why there is difficulty? Caitanya Mahāprabhu said . . . because He, first of all, started this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement in Bengal. Perhaps you heard His name, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We sing:		So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, please try to understand that it is India's best gift to the whole world. This is a fact. And there is no difficulty. Why there is difficulty?

	:''śrī-advaita gadādhara''		:''śrī-advaita gadādhara''

	Five hundred years ago He said these very words: ''bhārata-bhūmite manuṣya-janma haila yāra'' ([[CC Adi 9.41\|CC Adi 9.41]]). He said. And He also said that ''pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma'' (''Caitanya-bhāgavata~~'', ''~~Antya'' 4.126): "As many towns and villages are there on the surface of the globe, everyone, My name will be known." How His name will be known? By distributing this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.

	So that is now begun. But unfortunately, or some way or other, whatever has been done, that has been done by one person's exertion. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu said that each and every one who is born in India should take this mission. That is my appeal to you. You are all Indians, Hindus. You take this mission very seriously, make your life successful. Because Kṛṣṇa says in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' that, "Anyone who is engaged in preaching these principles of ''Bhagavad-gītā'', he is very, very dear to Me."		So that is now begun.
