Prabhupada: That is the best qualification. If he becomes
disinterested with these so-called modern civilized activities, that
is the perfection of life. Bhaktih paresanubhavo viraktir anyatra
caisa [SB 11.2.42]. Bhakti means the more you become God conscious,
you become disinterested with these material activities. And that is
needed, because material activities means you are wasting our time.
What is the value of animal life? It is risky. If we become like
animal, then we'll become animal next birth. Yam yam vapi smaran
bhavam tyajaty ante kalevaram [Bg. 8.6]. At the time of death, the
mind's position will give me another body. That is nature's law. That
you do not know.
