changed your desire. And you can thereby purify yourself. There will be sufficient
activities to execute the desire. But all those activities will be purified.

So, we don’t have to stop our activities, nor our desires. But we have to dovetail
them with the desires of the Lord, as Arjuna did. After dovetailing his desires with
Sri Krsna’s, his activities became more responsible. Just like a coward, he was
refusing to fight. He was a ksatriya, a military man. His duty was to fight for a good
cause. And what is a good cause? Sri Krsna instructed him to fight: “It is My plan.”
What can be a better cause than this? When the Supreme Personality of Godhead
says that this is My wish, what can be more important? And what can be a better
purpose than one which is coming directly from the Supreme Personality of
Godhead?

When we dovetail with the desire of the Supreme Lord, then our responsibility
becomes more imperative, and we become more active than we are otherwise. In
material activity you will get tired. This is the difference between material activity
and spiritual activity. When you are engaged in spiritual activities, you'll not get
tired. You will have newer and newer strength to act. Therefore, desire is not to be
stopped; activities are not to be stopped. Whatever potency you have in you, that is
the potency given by the Supreme Lord, because you are the part and parcel of the
Supreme Lord. And if you utilize it for the purposes of the Supreme Lord, then you
become dovetailed with Him, and your life becomes successful. You’ll not be
disturbed by material desires, you'll attain peace. The peace for which you are
hankering in life after life, moment after moment—that you'll get at that time when
your desires are purified and dovetailed with the Lord’s. One who desires sense
gratification, the enjoyment of material satisfaction, will never be happy. That is not
possible. If you want peace, if you want happiness, if you want perfection in your life,
then just begin to dovetail your desires, activities, and potential with the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. Then you will see what real happiness is, and will be able to
tell who is really crazy.
