Perform sacrifice and become self-sufficient…

[Guest guest]

Prabhupäda: Stick to your own place and grow your food. There is no

question of transport. Little transport is required, that bullock cart.

Kåñëa was being carried on bullock cart. There is no use of petrol. Use

simply the bull. They are already there. Utilize them. No. The bull should

be sent to the slaughterhouse. Petrol should be used.

So the..., this is the aspiration of the karmés, to elevate life to higher

standard of life. As the world is going on... The struggle is going on for

having a higher standard of life. But they are becoming implicated. Now,

there was bull-drawn cart or horse-drawn carriages. Now they have got nice

cars also, but the problem is petrol. So the karmé world is like that. You

create one kind of happiness, but side by side you create another kind of

unhappiness. This is called karmé-yoga. Just like if you want to raise one

big skyscraper building, then you have to dig somewhere to get the earth to

make the bricks and the iron. You cannot manufacture without taking help of

the nature. So if you raise here, you must dig here. This is karmé-yoga. If

you want to enjoy something extraordinarily, you must create another

unhappiness extraordinarily. This is called karmé. Therefore they are

müòhas. Müòhas means rascals, asses. They do not know that “By increasing

every year new motorcars, I am creating another problem. If there is no

petrol, then the whole business will be spoiled.” That they do not know.

And because they do not know, they are called asses, müòha. The effect they

do not know.
