	'''Prabhupāda:''' Our point is that we are going to live in the future. So if, becoming modern, we forget our future, then what is the use of becoming modernized? Better remain primitive. The business is that in future also we shall exist. If we do not know how we shall exist—either I shall exist as a cat, as a dog or a tree or a demigod or as associate of Kṛṣṇa . . . if I do not know . . . on account of being modernized, if I remain in darkness about my future, so it is better to remain primitive. What is the use of becoming modernized and forget myself and my future? Becoming modernized, if I become dog in future, so where is the use of modernized? Real business is that I shall take care of my future, especially in the human form of body. Cats and dogs, they do not know about future. If I know there is future, I have a future . . . this is also said by Kṛṣṇa: ''tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ'' ([[BG 2.13 (1972)\|BG 2.13]]): "In future." Not this body, another body. So is it not my first business, to prepare what is my future body? That is my first business? Or to drink RC (Royal Crown cola) my first business? (laughter) Just see, by drinking RC if I, next life I become a dog, then what is the use of modernized life? And if we, by remaining in primitive state, we can produce Vyāsadeva, oh, it is better. But the fools have no sense. Suppose if I go to some place for some business, and going there, to select my hotel, which hotel I shall enter, I remain busy to find out the hotel and I forget the business for which I have gone there, then am I not madman?

	The human life is meant for deciding his future. If we do not care for the future, and if I want to become modernized from primitive life, is that very good inclination? Real business forgotten, but I am busy with modernized life. That example I give sometimes, <span style="color:#~~ff9933~~">śajte śajte dol phurolo, mane</span> <span style="color:#128807">(The ''Holi'' fair was over while she kept dressing means,)</span> that one has to go to see a fair on account of <span style="color:#~~ff9933~~">''Dol yatra''</span> <span style="color:#128807">(Festival of colors.)</span> So women, they generally dress themself very nicely. So the woman said to his friend that, "Let me dress." So dressing, dressing, dressing. In the meantime, the fair finished. So the modern civilization is like that . . . <span style="color:#~~ff9933~~">śajte śajte dol phurolo.</span> <span style="color:#128807">(The ''Holi'' fair was over while she kept dressing.)</span> I have to go to see the fair, but I became so much attentive in dressing that in the meantime news came, "The fair is finished." That is our civilization. A human life is meant for preparing for the next life. That is sensible. But I am so much busy in manufacturing things for modernized life—RC, TC, PC and so on, so on.

	In future, at the time of death, I begin to bark and I think, "Oh . . ." And nature will say: "Alright, come on." "No, no, I'm not going to . . ." No, why not? You have become modernized, barking like dog. So you bark. Who will check that? ''Daivī hy eṣā guṇa-mayī mama māyā'' . . . ([[BG 7.14 (1972)\|BG 7.14]]). ''Māyā'' will take consideration, "What you have made yourself, a dog or god?" That she will take account. If you have made yourself a dog, "Just come on, become a dog." If you have made yourself as god, then "Come on, you'll be demigod." That is for everything. Otherwise why there are varieties? There is dog life and there is demigod life, Indra life. It is not one-sided. ''Tathā dehāntara-prāptiḥ'' ([[BG 2.13 (1972)\|BG 2.13]]), it is not one-sided. You have to change your body. And there are varieties of life, so it is up to you what kind of body you have got. You can change your body up to the point of becoming associate of Kṛṣṇa. ''Mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām'' ([[BG 9.25 (1972)\|BG 9.25]]). ''Yad gatvā na nivartante tad dhāma'' . . . ([[BG 15.6 (1972)\|BG 15.6]]). These informations are there. So if you have to prepare for the next life, why not go back to home, back to Godhead? ''Yad gatvā na nivartante''. This is intelligent? Or to become modernized and become a dog next life. Which is intelligent? The ''śāstra'' says: "No, this is intelligent." What? ''Tapo divyaṁ putrakā yena śuddhyed sattvam'' ([[SB 5.5.1\|SB 5.5.1]]). This life should be utilized for ''tapasya'', to purify your existence. That is the ''śāstra''. ''Śāstra'' does not say you become modernized. What is this modernized? Simply waste of time.
