For any reason, if you don't like the material world, then you are in luck because you have the process to rise above it. As a US president used to say during his campaigns, "Don't boo, vote." He would talk about the opposition; people would go, "Boo!" And he said, "No, don't boo. Just vote." In the same way, you don't have to complain. I mean, you can a little bit because it feels good sometimes, but don't complain too much. Just chant and arrange your life so that you can hear.

The śṛṇuyāt principle means the medicine is there. It's right on the shelf. You can just take a few steps and take it down. And don't complain if you have a stomach ache, the cure is right there. Just get it and start taking the cure as much as possible, and rise from being a kaniṣṭha-adhikārī to a madhyama-adhikārī. Kaniṣṭha-adhikārīs complain, a lot. In fact, they're always quarreling. Prabhupāda mentions this in the Śrī Īśopaniṣad. He says, "Kaniṣṭha-adhikārīs quarrel amongst themselves about the details of the process, whether somebody else is doing it right or wrong." And then he says the madhyama-adhikārīs—they're absorbed in thinking how to give Kṛṣṇa consciousness to others. Who would you rather hang out with? People who are always quarreling and complaining and criticizing each other for the details of how they're doing devotional service, or those who are thinking about how to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world?
