Lectures from a Disciple, Vol. 2, The Lord Protects Those Who Glorify His Name
We should accept whatever is necessary to maintain body and soul together, and we should be very careful that we do not become so diverted that we forget what the whole goal of human life is. Not using this body for becoming Krishna conscious in this life is a waste, simply being a kripana (miserly person). If we simply maintain this body for sense gratification, at the end of this life, the only thing that we can take with us is our sinful reactions. But, if we use this human form of life for hearing and chanting about Krishna, then that is the purpose for maintaining this body.
Srila Prabhupada
Lecture on Bhagavad-gita 3.21-25, New York, May 30, 1966
Manusyah. Now just see. Here it is said manusyah, means all men. All men. But, Krsna is not for a particular society or particular religious community or particular country or particular time. No. Krsna is the leader of all men for all the time in all the countries in all the worlds and all the universes. So He is not a sectarian Personality of Godhead. We should know. Manusyah. Manusyah, it is plural number: "All men." All men. So He said, "If I do not set example by My practical work, then because I am the leader of all men, all living entities, they will be wrongly directed." Wrongly directed.
