Devotees cannot be lazy...

Verse 1.17.28-29 (Mohan Prji):

* Maharaj Parikshit is talking here.
* The age of Kali is designed by the Lord for deterioration only. So one may say that it is the Lord's will that in this age Dharma is broken. So we don't have to do anything about it. But SP is saying, No, that is not the case. The devotees should not just sit down and be quiet. The leaders of the society still should try hard for its betterment.
* Eg: Srila Prabhupada's (SP's) dealing with the landlord of Mumbai, who tried to cheat SP when SP was trying to buy it for Krishna's temple.
* We should not have a lazy mentality saying that if Krishna is not willing, then it won't happen.
* SP says, the devotees should not give up, they should try their best in trying to achieve things for the Lord, but not be attached to the result.
* Sri Caitnaya Mahaprabhu (CM) said: trnad api sunicena.... so the point is that when something wrong happens to oneself, then one should tolerate. But when something happens to another devotee, we should not tolerate it, we should strive hard to serve and support the other devotee.
* Same happened with the Juhu temple in Mumbai, if SP did not try for it for Krishna, then so many people who are visiting it today everyday would not have happened.
