Nava-yauvana: Their reason, they say, is because we have to work so hard all day, then we have to try to forget, watch the television.
Prabhupada: Why should you work? If you have to forget, why should you take such nonsense things that you have to forget again? Why not chant Hare Krishna? Even the child does not forget. He’s chanting. Take such things that you’ll enjoy. The more you do not forget, you more enjoy. Why should you take up something that you have to forget? This is rascal.
Nava-yauvana: Karmis cannot understand.
Prabhupada: There is a story like this. A man is sitting. His friend came, “Why you are sitting idly?” “What shall I do?” “Work.” “Why shall I work?” “You’ll get money.” “What shall I do with the money?” “Then you’ll be able to sit peacefully and eat.” “I’m doing that. I’m already doing that.” I’m peacefully sitting and eating. Why shall I go and work? If that is the ultimate end, that I shall peacefully sit down and eat, I am doing that. Why shall I go and work?
