Since Mithila's quotes have already confused atleast one person, I will reply:

Before you use the folio to quote out-of-context, it's best that you STUDY ALL

THE QUOTES and LIFE EXAMPLES of Srila Prabhupada so your case is not biased.

The above letter is to Syama in 1968 for HER SITUATION. WHERE DOES IT SAY

ABOVE IT IS FOR EVERYONE? What did the devotees eat who went to start a new

temple in London? What do the devotees eat who live as grhasthas in the

cities with no farm?

Again, this is for Puru in HIS SITUATION in 1976! Does this apply to you or

anyone else now??? One man's food is another man's poison.
