Ref: Srila Prabhupada lecture SB 7.9.8, 1969 - Los Angeles.
A devotee is not weak, but they think that "These devotees, they are weak. They cannot do any materialistic work. They cannot build skyscrapers. They cannot build a subtle machine. So they have taken to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. They are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa." You see? They think like that.
But actually, , the devotees know, what is this value of this materialistic advancement. People are not happy actually. Now, so far materialistic happiness is concerned, your country, America, is number one. You are all qualified boys and girls, I see. But still, if we calculate impartially, You earn in the morning and eat in the evening-finished. You see? for example,. He is thoughtful. He is educated. He knows so many things, artist. But for livelihood he has to go early in the morning and come late in the evening. So what is the result?
. Working hard, very hard working, that is the animal's business. The animal should be engaged to work hard for feeding, whole day. Just like the cow is standing here, sometimes eating this, sometime eating that, sometime eating that. What is the business? Only business: to fill up the belly. That's all. But after all qualification, if one has to do the same thing just to fill up the belly, working twelve hours, fourteen hours, then what is this civilization?
You can say some of the rich men, they are enjoying like that, but they are enjoying at the cost of others. They have made such machinery that hundreds of men will work for them and they will sit down and enjoy. What is that enjoyment?
So this materialistic way of life is not human life. It is less than animal life. Animal also does not work so hard. You see? And the people are engaged... Wherever you go, the very big highways. What is called? Freeways. Four lines of motorcars running this way and four lines of motorcars running this way at the speed of seventy miles, and everyone is busy. You see? And they take, "It is a very good civilization."
And if you sit down and discuss what is the Absolute Truth, what is the philosophy of life, "They are nonsense." You see? And if you work day and night, hard labor, and to get that energy, inject some medicine or some tranquilizer and this and that... You see
So actually, this is not life. This is cats' and dogs' life. That is the verdict of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
Life is to utilize the energy for perpetual happiness. They do not know that there is some perpetual happiness, there is perpetual life. They are so ignorant. Therefore they are trying: "Whatever happiness can be had here, just enjoy." But there is. You are eternal. You are blissful.
Try to understand. You see? We should not be impotent. Arjuna, he was declining to fight, not that he was impotent, But when he saw that "Kṛṣṇa wants this," oh, he showed his potency.
So to become a devotee is not to become impotent, but everything has proper use. Just like if you are lusty, that lust should be utilized for Kṛṣṇa. I am lusty to accumulate money. Yes, you bring money, but utilize it for Kṛṣṇa. We don't say that you should not be lusty. If you have got capacity to earn money, earn money, as much as you can, but utilize it for Kṛṣṇa. If I am very angry, yes, you remain angry, but utilize it for Kṛṣṇa.
So these are the things to be learned by the devotee. We should not be impotent. We should not be null and void. We should possess everything-but for Kṛṣṇa. This is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
