We are all rascals and fools

Everyone in this material world is a rascal. A particular living entity
desires, "If I can get the opportunity to obtain the post of Brahma, then I
can create a big universe." Thus he receives the body of Brahma. And the
small insect thinks, "If I can create a small hole within this room, then I
can live very peacefully and eat." Thus Brahma desires to create a universe,
we desire to create a skyscraper, and an ant desires to create a hole in a
room, but the quality of the work is the same. We are all fools, however,
because we do not realize that because these things are material they will
not last.
