Seeds, tools, land - these are all assets necessary and take capital to acquire or represent capital. Paper money doesn't necessarily have to enter into it. Finance capitalism is when money is used, but it means more than that. If I buy stocks in a company, and the company does well and the stocks increase in value, I make money on my capital, but I didn't produce anything. that is finance capitalism. For a devotee to start a little business is capitalism, but Wal Mart represents finance capitalism. Like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 1999 Report Share Posted November 19, 1999 PAMHO AGTSP All glories to Guru and Gouranga. Harsi I think you are not philosophcially correct and do not understand the relation between a disciple and his Spiritual Master. But that is one point. The real point is this saying that in glorifying Srila Prabhupada that we are some kind of personality cult. I don't know where you are coming from. I never have had that realization in my 30 years of trying to glorify His Divine Grace. Maybe it is something mental, I don't know but would like to hear from some more advanced devotees than myself of which is just about everyone, about how one views a remark like this. That ,because a devotee simply remarks we should follow in the footsteps of Srila Prabhupada and try to please him this is some kind of personality cult. I think you don't get it, but maybe some others might enlighten me as to what should be the proper reply. YS Dvibhuja das.
