I realize that most of the devotees become weak when we are not here. They begin to chant less, or they stop their chanting altogether. They don’t chant their guru-mantra and they have no inspiration. That is why, to inspire them, I come sometimes to European countries, sometimes to Australia, and sometimes to America. I come to inspire them so that they will not be weak.
Suppose you collect a great amount of money. One day you will have to give it up. You will become old and then you will die, leaving everything. You cannot take a single farthing with you. Always remember that death is sure. Our death is sure. Before death comes, we have to realize Krsna and our transcendental form as His servant. Then our lives are successful; otherwise life is not successful.
