Le Cow Quote Du Jour # 89

[Guest guest]

These instructions are there in the Bhagavad-gita very elaborately. Simply

we have to follow the instruction. It is not at all difficult. Then all the

questions -- social problem, political problem, economical problem,

religious problem -- everything will be nicely solved. We are presenting,

therefore, Bhagavad-gita as it is. And you take any question and the answer

is there in the Bhagavad-gita, very nicely given. Just like, say, our first

problem is economic problem. So Bhagavad-gita says, "Yes. Economic problem

will be solved very easily if you produce food grains." Annad bhavanti

bhutani [bg. 3.14]. You produce food grain. Just like in your country I see

there is enough land. If you people produce your food grain, within three

months you can get all the necessities of life for the whole year. And the

balance time you can save, nine months. And these nine months you can

utilize for advancing in spiritual life, because your life or my life, this

human form of life, it is distinct from the cats' and dogs' life. The cats

and dogs, they cannot understand what is the basic principle of life. But a

human being can understand. If he takes little care, he can understand that

his problem of life is due to misunderstanding, accepting this body as self.

This is the problem.

 

So we shall advise according to Bhagavad-gita that "Make your life very

simple, plain living, but the thinking should be very high." Plain living

and high thinking.
