Le Cow Quote Du Jour # 16

[Guest guest]

But to give up religion altogether, secular, simply open factory, bolts and

nuts, and work hard and drink and take meat... What is this civilization?

What is this civilization? Therefore we are suffering. Again bhava.

 

Here it is said that avidya-kama-karmabhih. By ignorance, they are thinking

by opening factories they will be happy. That is avidya. He does not know

that this is ignorance. Why you should open factory? That is... This is

called ugra-karma. There is no need of opening factory. You have got land.

Here are so many lands. You produce your food grains. Annad bhavanti bhutani

[bg. 3.14]. You eat sumptuously food grain, milk, and that will be available

without any factory. The factory cannot produce milk or food grain. The

present scarcity of foodstuff means everybody is engaged in the city,

producing bolts and nuts. Who is producing food grain? This is the solution

of economic problem. Annad bhavanti bhutani. Therefore we are trying to

engage our men to produce their own food. Be self-sufficient so that these

rascals may see that how one can live very peacefully, eating the food

grains and milk, and chant Hare Krsna. This is our mission. We don't deny

this food. They are after daridra-narayana-seva, but why daridra-narayana?

Why not chief Narayana, or the rich Narayana? Everyone should be engaged --

Bhagavat-prasadam. We don't make any distinction, daridra-narayana or rich

Narayana, dhani-narayana. Everyone, you come on. Take prasadam.
