Le Cow Quote Du Jour # 36

[Guest guest]

So take these words of Krsna, guru-Krsna. The guru will also..., the same

thing, what Krsna has said. And follow the principles. Your life is

successful. Now, this place I see, although I have not seen all, is a nice

place. And the grhasthas may come here, have some small cottage, and grow

your own food grains, vegetables, and have your cow's milk. Get nice

foodstuff, save time. Why should you go in the city, hundred miles in car

and again hundred miles come back and take unnecessary trouble? Stick to

this spot and grow your own food, your own cloth, and live peacefully, save

time, chant Hare Krsna. Very nice program. This is actual life. What is this

nonsense life, big, big cities and always people busy? If he wants to see

one friend, he has to go thirty miles. If he has to see a physician, he has

to go fifty miles. If he has to go to work, another hundred miles. So what

is this life? This is not life. Be satisfied. The devotee's life should be

yavad artha-prayojanam. We require material necessities as much as it is

required, no artificial life. That is spiritual life. Simply increasing

artificial life, even for shaving, a big machine is required. What is this?

Simply wasting time. Devil's workshop. Make life very simple. And simple

living, high thinking, and always conscious to go back to home, back to

Krsna. That is life. Not this life, that simply machine, machine, machine,

machine. So if you show practical example that how you are living simple

life and how you are advanced in Krsna consciousness, then people will learn

from you. You American people, if you show example, people will try to

follow you, and they will be happy. So I am very glad to see this farm.

Develop it nicely, live peacefully, and chant Hare Krsna.

Thank you very much.
