Le Cow Quote Du Jour # 126

[Guest guest]

Prabhupada: Yes. That I want. I... Everywhere I go and say, how these

rascals...? So much land is lying, and these rascals are not developing. And

they are making... What is that? Coal stone. Coal. They are interested with

these bricks and stones, not green vegetables. Such a rascal government.

Give them facility. We know how to do it. Annad bhavanti bhutani parjanyad

anna-sambhavah, yajnad bhavati parjanyah [bg. 3.14]. Let them engage in

kirtana. There will be more water for gardening, and it will be moist, and

then produce fodder for the animals and food for you. And animal gives you

milk. That is Vrndavana life. And they are absorbed in this so-called

opulence. Krsna has taken birth. They are bringing so many nice, pleasant

foodstuff, very well-dressed and ornamented. These are description. In the

morning we were reading. How they were happy, the inhabitants of Vrndavana

with Krsna and living and cows. That I want to introduce. At any cost do it

and... Don't bother about big, big buildings. It is not required. Useless

waste of time. Produce. Make the whole field green. See that. Then whole

economic question solved. Then you eat sumptuous. Eat sumptuously. The

animal is happy. The animal even does not give milk; let them eat and pass

stool and urine. That is welcome. After all, eating, they will pass stool.

So that is beneficial, not that simple milk is beneficial. Even the stool is

beneficial. Therefore I am asking so much here and..., "Farm, farm, farm,

farm..." That is not my program -- Krsna's program. Annad bhavanti bhutani

[bg. 3.14]. Produce greenness everywhere, everywhere. Vrndavana. It is not

this motorcar civilization.[...]

 

Prabhupada: Ah. Let them remain happy and automatically... Just like in our

Philadelphia. Oh, such a big... Giving him thousand pounds. Yes, we are

doing this, fatty. Cans of milk. Even the cat is happy. The dog is happy.

There is no fight. Cat is so happy, stroking on the back of the cows.

Similarly, the dog is... There is no "Gow! Gow! Gow! Gow!" barking. I have

seen it. Only through the medium of milk. These are not stories. I have

seen. And who is Satyabhama's husband?

Bhavananda: Oh, Parama... What's his name? [break]

Prabhupada: ...make the whole land, people, very happy. You show this

example all over the world, this example, in America. Don't spoil money.

Show by example. Enough science and enough motorcar, that's all. No more

wanted. This is wanted. Kamam vavarsa parjanyah [sB 1.10.4]. Bring water

from the sky. Keep always land moist and green. This is wanted. It is not my

desire. It is Krsna's. Krsna says in Bhagavad-gita, annad bhavanti bhutani

[bg. 3.14]. Here Vyasadeva says, kamam vavarsa parjanyah [sB 1.10.4]. These

rascals, they do not know. They do not consult sastra, therefore

manufacture.[...]
