"The king of heaven, he made some offense under, on the feet of his spiritual master, Brihaspati, and he cursed him that “You are just like a hog. You take the birth of a hog.” So he became a hog"
Prabhupada, New York, July 18, 1966: […] The king of heaven, he made some offense under, on the feet of his spiritual master, Brihaspati, and he cursed him that “You are just like a hog. You take the birth of a hog.” So he became a hog.
Now, when the throne of the heavenly kingdom was vacant due to the absence of Indra—he has become a hog in this earth—so Brahma came. Brahma came that, “Mr. Such-and-such, you have now become hog for your offensive activities.
Now I have come to deliver you. Please come with me.” Now, the hog said, “Oh, I cannot go with you. I cannot go with you. Oh, I have got so many responsibilities. I have got my children. I have got my wife.
I have got my country. I have got my society.” The hog, he’s… So even you offer the hog to take him to the heaven, he will refuse. “Oh, I have got so much responsibility.” This is called forgetfulness. This is called forgetfulness.
Now, the Lord Krishna comes that “What you are nonsense doing this material world?” Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja: [Bg. 18.66] “You come to Me. I give you all protection.” “Oh, I don’t believe You, Sir. I have got more important business here. I don’t believe You.” This is our position. This is our position, forgetfulness. Full Lecture
