Prabhupada: This industry is horrible
work. Simply by tilling your
ground you get food grains, and keep some cows, you get milk--your
economic problem is solved. Why such big, big industries? Ugra-karma.
Then? Go on.

Prabhupada: The big two wars of the world happened only on
account of
this industry. Do you know that? The cause is the big, big industry.
Germany industrial, they produce goods. They must have market. But
when they go to sell, there is no market. Britishers will not allow to
sell them. The Britisher will take, purchase from them, and stamp it
"Made in England" and sell it. And this is the cause of two big war.
Therefore German declare twice war. Disaster. Therefore it is said,

Prabhupada: Yes. Why
don't you solve? There are so many land. Come
here and grow food.
Grow fruit. That is... That is the desire of
Krsna. Annad bhavanti bhutani. Produce food and
... ask, "You have to
pay this price." And
you have to pay. And if you grow your own food,
there is no such
question. The simple economic problem, solution, this
rascal cannot
take…..
"I wish to
introduce this ideal now. Then if we are successful this cheating
civilization will stop. They have made these cities as hell. If people do
not cooperate with them, then how will the factories run on? And, if the
people are satisfied by this arrangement, then what will the communists
do?"

Prabhupada: Business
means if you have got extra grains or extra
foodstuff, you can
sell where there is necessity, there is want. That
is business. We
are not going to open mills and factories and... No.
We are not going
to do that. That is sudra business. The real business
is that you
produce enough food grains, as much as possible, and you
eat and
distribute. That's all. This is business. He does not require
any so high
technical education. Anyone can till the ground and grow
food. Is it
difficult? This is the business. The first thing is that
everyone, man and
animal, especially the cows, they must be properly
fed so become very
stout and strong. Cows will supply milk, and man
will work hard,
without being suffered by dysentery. He must work
hard. Any capacity.
Work as a teacher or work as a ksatriya, work as a
ploughman. Or work
as general assistant. He must work. Everyone should
be employed. And his
employment will be provided from any of these
groups, according to
his capacity. Either as a brahmana, or as a
ksatriya, or as a
vaisya, or as a sudra.

Amogha: He was saying that your solution was too simple. He said that
people will not accept it because it is too simple.

That is the only
solution. According to the Vedic system, you cannot use
anything which you cannot produce. Suppose this we are using, but
according the Vedic system we should not use it because I cannot
produce it. Then the whole solution is there. Nobody will manufacture
this because there will be no customer. If I refuse this use of this
machine, thinking that "I cannot produce it; I should not use it,"
then where is the customer? The so-called industry will automatically
stop, and he has to go to the village outlying.

Upendra: The reason the original faith was placed in the scientists
was because radio, airplanes, tape recorders have been manufactured,
and people are impressed by these originally.
Prabhupada: So what is the benefit? Without radio, people were dying,
or with radio they are not living?Upendra: They say they are living more comfortably.
Prabhupada: Nonsense comfortably... They have changed the season? Is
it comfortable? We have to take this cooling machine. What is the
practical benefit? You can say that it is comfortable. That's all
right. But that does not mean that you have moved the uncomfortable
situation. You are struggling against. That much you can take credit.
Real benefit is not there. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita.
Janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi. Real unhappiness is this, that you are: "Why
I am struggling? I don't want death." Actually why I am taking massage
and so on, so on? So that I may not die. So where is the scientists'
guarantee, "No, you'll not die"? Has he any...? You'll struggle only.
That's all. The scientists cannot guarantee, "No, you'll not die."
That is real guarantee. "You'll die comfortably." Hm? Die comfortably?
Now there is no appetite. Where is the scientist, assuring, "Take"?
What actual benefit they have done? They are giving some... Nothing

Canakya Pandita has
given, real comfort means, arni akyavad(?):
"One
who is not out of home and one who has no debts, he is happy."
who is not out of home and one who has no debts, he is happy."
Nowadays people are going out of home, and everyone is debtor to the
bank and so many... The economic machine is so made that one is put
always in debts for some so-called comforts, and he's full of anxiety.
The whole month he has to work to pay debts. (end)

Indian man: Second thing is...
Prabhupada: No, first of all you understand this. Then bring second
thing. That you have no duty. Your only duty is to surrender to Krsna.
Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam. That is your only duty. But because
you are under the mental platform, you are creating duties, so but
that also must be finished after certain age. That is compulsory, that
"You are very good, responsible man. All right, do your duty up to
this. No more duty. No more duty." So this "duty, no duty," this is
our creation. We are under fully control of the nature. But we have
created our mental concoction: "This is duty. This is good. This is
bad." That is our mano-dharma. Real dharma is sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja. This is real dharma. And everything is
mano-dharma, mental creation. Therefore the Bhagavata in the beginning
it is said that dharmah projjhita-kaitavo 'tra: "This false dharma is
rejected." These are all false dharmas. Real dharma is to surrender to
Krsna. But it takes time. Therefore sat-sanga is required. But
actually real dharma is to become Krsna conscious and do everything...
Anukulyena krsnanusilanam. What Krsna wants, we must know it and do
it. And this is real dharma.

Just like in the
prisonhouse you have to work. Eh? So
they think this working is civilization. This is avidya. So therefore
they have created more work. From early morning, five o'clock, till
ten o'clock, simply working. They do not know that "This working is
our punishment." But because ignorant, they think that "Working is
life." This is called ignorance. He does not know, "This working is my
punishment. How to get out of this work?" No. To increase the work
more, complicate, that is civilization. This is called avidya.Avidya-karma-samjnanya. Our tendency is not to work but get things.

working, therefore he asking, "Why God has not created?" That means

necessities, automatically available. That is our... Therefore as soon
as one man becomes rich, he does not work. He gets his thing by

want to die. He does not want to work. This is spiritual. Why man
should work like... Therefore real civilization is that minimize work.

Minimize work, save
time, and go back to your spiritual life. That

civilization. And this is not civilization, to get the necessities of
life, sense gratification, and work like hog and dog. That is
condemned.

Therefore Krsna gives His instruction. He's the supreme ruler. He
gives this order: annad bhavanti bhutani: "You require food grains."
This is practical. Who will disagree with Krsna, that "We don't
require food grains; we require bolts and nuts in the factory"? Who
will say? This is practical. Krsna says, "Grow more food, rascal! You'll eat
and become strong." And nobody is obeying Krsna. Is it not?
Practically try to understand Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavata. Not
by sentiment. And preach this philosophy all over the world.

Srila Prabhupada has given us so many instructions on how
to live in this world, how to
become a devotee, how to be peaceful,how to become
opulent (naturally) etc, etc.
These things all take time to process in our minds, until
then finally we can act upon them. Therefore
we need to hear these things repeatedly, if we are ever
to put them into practical action.
And if we can nothing else
but chant Hare Krsna, then that is also very good.
And for the devotee who
wants to actually do something outwardly tangible to please his spiritual
master, then that means he or she must take upon
his head some instruction and try to follow it and get others to
do
the same.

the alternative is to simply grow your own food. Such a
