Guest guest Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yogesvara: So then we should begin our rural communities like New Vrindaban, and then by training up people in the cities, we can send them gradually... Prabhupada: There will be no city. We don't want cities. Bhagavan: What about our city temples? Prabhupada: No, no. For the time it may go on. But as we make progress, there will be no necessity. City means... For the present we have got. Because the city is there, we are there. But suppose the city is closed. We shall be there? If the city is closed, you still will be there? Yogesvara: But we can predict that the cities will go on for quite some time. Prabhupada: Yes, it will go on, but when they will see that your ideal community is better than city life, people will take to it. Param drstva nivartate. [From Bg. 2.59: "...Ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness."] When one gets a better standard of life, naturally he will give up the lower standard of life. -- Morning Walk, 27 May 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
