The present human civilization is not in right order. I was coming here, and I was seeing one film, cinema, "The Boyfriend." Of course, young boy, young girl, making friendship, enjoying life -- that is not condemned. Actually, that is life. Radha and Krsna is young boy and young girl.
radha-krsna-pranaya-vikrtir hladini saktir asmad
ekatmanav api (bhuvi pura) deha-bhedam gatau tau
caitanyakhyam prakatam adhuna tad-dvayam caikyam aptam
radha-bhava-dyuti-suvalitam naumi krsna-svarupam
[Cc. Adi 1.5]
This young boy and young girl trying to unite for happiness is the natural inclination of the living entity. It is there in the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the Vedanta-sutra it is said, janmady asya yatah [SB 1.1.1]. Everything that we see in this material world is there in the spiritual world. Janmady asya yatah. Wherefrom everything is coming? The original source, the original source of this love, is there in the Absolute. Radha-krsna-pranaya-vikrtih. It is the manifestation of the pleasure potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So the thing as it is originally is perfect, but here, the same thing is only perverted reflection. Here, the boys and the girls meeting, because it is simply a reflection... Just like a reflection of the tree on the river, it is just topsy-turvied, similarly, that reflection, reality, Radha-Krsna love, is topsy-turvied here.
So our Krsna consciousness movement is very scientific, factual, authorized. Simply intelligent persons can understand it. Every human being has got intelligence, better than the animals. If you simply try to understand what is this Krsna consciousness movement, this human life will be perfect. Here, we are trying to enjoy, but we do not know that next life, next chapter, may stop everything -- at any moment. Don't think because you are American, you have got material opulences, very comfortable life, cars, roads, buildings... That's all right. But any moment, you will be kicked out, and it may be that you'll have to accept another body which is not at all American. It may be the body of a tree or a cat or a dog. That science we must know. Don't be enamored by the flickering happiness. This happiness is there which is factual: this Radha-Krsna. You see Radha-Krsna, Krsna, how He's jolly, with His cows, with His flute, with His comrades, with His boyfriend, girlfriend, how He's happy.
cintamani-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vrksa-
laksavrtesu surabhir abhipalayantam
laksmi-sahasra-sata-sambhrama-sevyamanam
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
[Bs. 5.29]
Here, you are trying to enjoy the company of young girls, but Krsna is also doing that in the spiritual world. Sahasra-sata-sambhrama, laksmi. Each girl there is a goddess of fortune. Not only one, but many hundreds and thousands. They're with great respect and reverence trying to serve Krsna. Laksmi-sahasra-sata-sambhrama-sevyamanam. So you can also enter in the company of Krsna, as Krsna's friend, as Krsna's servant, as Krsna's consort, as Krsna's father, anything. Everything... Here also, there are five relationship: relationship between master and servant, relationship between friend and friend, relationship between father and son, and relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. All these relationships are emanating from Krsna. Akhila-rasamrta-sindhu: the ocean of all pleasure. And Krsna comes Himself to give you this message. Krsna appeared five thousand years ago on this planet, and at Vrndavana He exhibited His real pastimes in the spiritual world, so just to give practical demonstration and to invite you there. Krsna (is) canvassing: sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66].
