Prabhupāda: Karmī is also working and bhakta is also working. Then what is the difference?
Hari-śauri: One is working for his own sense satisfaction and the other is working for the sense satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa.
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Mentality?
Devotee (1): The devotee is peaceful. The karmīs are never peaceful.
Prabhupāda: Karmī . . . just like I began this Kṛṣṇa consciousness business with forty rupees, eh, in New York. Now, say within eight or ten years, we have got forty crores. What is the karmī who started his business with forty rupees and within ten years, eight years, has got forty crores?
Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Therefore the difference is the karmī's not successful.
Prabhupāda: A bhakta is never unsuccessful.
Devotee (2): His results are temporary. Our results are eternal.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Karmī . . . just like this house you have got. For a karmī to invest so much money, it will takes fifty years. We got this all donation. (laughter)
Hari-śauri: Nobody's going to come up to a karmī and give him six hundred thousand.
Prabhupāda: To acquire $600,000, for a karmī it will require six hundred years. (laughter) For a bhakta, somebody comes, "Take it," immediately. (laughter)
Śukadeva: Just like we all have so many watches. They notice everyone in our Society has watches.
Prabhupāda: They haven't got, karmīs?
Śukadeva: Some of them do.
Prabhupāda: So? What is the idea? You are asking question? Without have watches? We can live without watches? What is the idea?
Śukadeva: Well they're . . . usually they'll say we're . . . if we are supposed to be spiritualists, then why do we have so many cars, why do we have so many watches, why do we have so many different things that they can see there within the temple?
Prabhupāda: Yes. We acquire them without any effort. We are not after these things. But Kṛṣṇa sends, we take—so many cars, so many watches, so many houses for propaganding Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Why shall I refuse it?
Devotee (1): Simply we are preaching and everything comes.
