Everybody is being troubled, but they try to overcome their troubled condition by accepting hallucination, which is also trouble, a hallucination which we actually think is the cure. But just as a person doesn’t counteract a troublesome dream by troublesome hallucination, he must be awoken from his dreaming condition. In the same way, materialistic people, who are trying to counteract their suffering condition, they have to be awoken to their Krishna consciousness.
