Now, the materialist says, “All right, you do not know whether you are going or not. You are giving up this material enjoyment. You are simply living on capatis. Oh, we have got so many palatable dishes, and you are not enjoying this. You are fool.”
So to these poor devotees who are taking chapatis, the Lord says a very nice thing. What is that?
ananyas cintayanto mam
ye janah paryupasate
tesam nityabhiyuktanam
yoga-ksemam vahamy aham
Well, materialist, Mr. materialist, you have to work very hard. But here the assurance is from the Lord that “Those who are unflinching and cent percent devoted in the transcendental service of Me, for them I take charge of the maintenance, all comforts.”

Ananyas cintayanto mam. Those who have no other thought than Krsna, Krsna conscious. Ananyas cintayanto mam. Ye janah paryupasate, and engaged in that way always.

Therefore this is an encouragement. This is an encouragement by the Lord that “Do not think that because you are not trying to go to the other planet you will be unhappy. You will have happiness.” What is happiness? Happiness is within your mind.
