Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, Overcoming Adversity, p. 167
We are bound by the ropes of our own fruitive activities, and the only destination we attain is our own suffering. Therefore, voluntarily accept inconvenience to satisfy the Supreme Lord. The fruit of all our austerities, inconveniences, and suffering in this world should be the Lord's pleasure.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 1.45-46, London, August 1, 1973
Material world means step by step, simply danger. That is material world. So you have to find out pratikaram, counteraction, how to save yourself from danger. Just like when we walk, we see in so many doors, "Danger," so that you may be..., you are warned. Sometimes the doors are: "Beware of the dog." So you have to take care, "No, I shall not enter." So everything there is danger, and there is pratikaram, counter, counteraction, how to save yourself from it. This is called struggle for existence. In this material world, there is only this danger and counteraction. I am unhappy; so just to become happy I have to work, I have to get money. Whatever I want. So this is going on.
