Prabhupāda: . . . just like Arjuna said: "Yes." In the beginning he said: "No," then after learning ''Bhagavad-gītā'' he said: "Yes." So we have to learn to say: "Yes" to Kṛṣṇa or His representative. Then you will be all right. If you say: "No," then it is ''māyā''. But you have got the liberty to say: "Yes" or "No." . . . (indistinct) . . . if we say: "No," then it is our misfortune. If we say: "Yes," it is our fortune.

''Icchā-dveṣa.'' What is that verse? ''Sarge yānti parantapa''. You have got ''icchā'' and ''dveṣa''—two things there. ''Icchā'' means either you have desire for sense gratification or you can desire to serve Kṛṣṇa. And ''dveṣa'' means averse. You may not like to serve Kṛṣṇa, or you may not like to serve ''māyā''.

Just like this Pakistan and Hindustan, fighting. Icchā. Icchā is that "I shall enjoy this land." So they're fighting. They do not know that after all, this land does not belong to any one of us; it belongs to Kṛṣṇa. Why should we fight? Better you... Let us be satisfied with whatever Kṛṣṇa has given. But there is no Kṛṣṇa consciousness; therefore they are fighting. Otherwise, Kṛṣṇa has made everything complete.
