Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Prabhupada: And everything for the cows, but what for the man? They will give everything for cows because they will eat cows, other farmers. But you utilize the animals for growing your food. Brahmananda: The idea is we should maintain the animals, but then the animals should provide foodstuffs for the men. Prabhupada: Yes. Brahmananda: And that way there is cooperation. Prabhupada: Yes. The animals, bulls, should have helped... instead of that machine. Then it is properly utilized. And others, they cannot utilize these animals. Therefore, what they will do? Naturally they will send to slaughterhouse. But we are not going to send to the slaughterhouse. Then what we will do? They must be utilized. Otherwise simply for growing food that the cows and bulls we engage ourself? You are already feeling burden because there are so many bull calves. You were asking me, "What we shall do with so many bulls?" Nityananda: Well, when they grow up we will train them as oxen. Prabhupada: No, what the oxen will do? Nityananda: Plow the fields. Prabhupada: Yes. That is wanted. Transport, plowing fields. That is wanted. And unless our men are trained up, Krsna conscious, they will think, "What is the use of taking care of the plows (cows)? Better go to the city, earn money and eat them." >>> Ref. VedaBase => NEW ORLEANS, AUGUST 1, 1975 WALK AROUND NEW TALAVANA FARM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
