Le Cow Quote Du Jour # 50

[Guest guest]

Regarding the New Orleans' farm, do not make sugar. Just boil it and make

molasses. You can eat the molasses instead of sugar. Just boil it and keep

boiling it until granule forms and then keep in a pot. Don't try to make

sugar and sell it. That will simply increase the botheration. If you start

trading business, then so many problems will be there. You should produce

just enough for our own use. Trading leads to envy and jealousy and

cheating, then everything is lost. I am seeing now that the business

activities in our society, they are increasing. Originally I allowed that

Gargamuni could start the incense business. I thought that the Ramakrishna

Mission, they are doing and the incense we are using, so if we make some and

sell it, then what is the harm. But now I see that Spiritual Sky, they have

so many products. And now there is jewelry business going on. So why should

the business increase? Nanda Kumar, he came here to India simply for doing

business. This is not required. So I have given him sannyasa and now he is

finished with all business, and he will go to Africa to preach. So this

business should be discouraged, otherwise, if they do it, our men will again

become karmis. Our business is simply book distribution. So far increasing

the New Orleans' farm, yes, if you have got more men, you can get more land.

You should make a stock of ghee from the farm and if possible open a

restaurant in the city for attracting people. You can prepare samosas,

kacoris, rasgullas, sweetballs: In Honolulu they are doing nicely, this

restaurant. You can take information from Srutakirti das. And the farm will

get money by selling ghee to the restaurant. And also you can sell the ghee

to the Indian people in the city.
