The rascals are suffering, but because they are sons of God they should not suffer. They do not know that there is God or that there is happiness. After that they do not know what is going to happen.

Śrīla Prabhupāda: This word “Hindu” is not a Sanskrit word. It was given by the Muhammadans. So “Hindu” is a term that is not found in the Sanskrit dictionary, but it has come into use. unless people take to this system or institution of four varṇas and four āśramas, actually they do not
