TRANSLATION How much
greater then are the brahmanas, the righteous, the devotees and saintly
kings who in this temporary miserable world engage in loving service unto
Me.
PURPORT In this material
world there are classifications of people, but, after all, this world is
not a happy place for anyone. It is clearly stated here, anityam asukham
lokam: this world is temporary and full of miseries, not habitable
for any sane gentleman. This world is declared by the Supreme Personality
of Godhead to be temporary and full of miseries. Some of the philosophers,
especially the minor philosophers, say that this world is false, but we
can understand from Bhagavad-gita that the world is not false; it
is temporary. There is a difference between temporary and false. This world
is temporary, but there is another world which is eternal. This world is
miserable, but the other world is eternal and blissful.
Arjuna was
born in a saintly royal family. To him also the Lord says, "Take to My
devotional service and come quickly back to Godhead, back home." No one
should remain in this temporary world, full as it is with miseries. Everyone
should attach himself to the bosom of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
so that he can be eternally happy. The devotional service of the Supreme
Lord is the only process by which all problems of all classes of men can
be solved. Everyone should therefore take to Krsna consciousness and make
his life perfect.
