It was about 5pm, I was taking the trolley back to Old Town station after a blissfull day of distributing Srila Prabhupada's books. I sat down on my seat, and noticed that the majority of people, looked lifeless. It was almost as if every ounce of energy had been drained out of their bodies. No one was even talking - I put my digital camera on to video mode. When I replayed it, I began to understand what Srila Prabhupada said when he spoke of, chewing the chewed. Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport Srimad Bhagavatam 3.9.17
"Persons who are determined to totally rot in false, material happiness cannot become Krsna-minded either by instructions from teachers, by self-realization or by parliamentary discussions. They are dragged by the unbridled senses into the darkest region of ignorance, and thus they madly engage in what is called 'chewing the chewed.'
NB Look at the man sitting on the bench next to the door. They say that the face is the index of the mind: He has most certainly been hammered hard by the full force of material nature!
