Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

You should not be anxious to anything which is not ordered by Kṛṣṇa. That is your Kṛṣṇa consciousness. You don't manufacture your activities. Then you'll be entangled.
Lecture on BG 7.2 -- San Francisco, September 11, 1968:

Guest: I have a question. If one wanted to redistribute Kṛṣṇa's property by taking from the rich and giving to the poor, in doing so all you'd have to do is make maybe one or two false statements. Is this...

Prabhupāda: Why you are anxious to take rich man's property?

Guest: Pardon?

Prabhupāda: Why you are anxious to take rich man's property? (laughter)

Guest: It belongs to the state. It's unemployment insurance.

Prabhupāda: Unemployment insurance company has ordered you to take the state...?

Guest: I could get this, you see, if I would make a few false statements that I was looking for work when I have not been looking for work.

Prabhupāda: Well, one who is making false statement, he'll suffer for that.

Guest: Even if...

Prabhupāda: Yes?

Guest: Even if it's for a good cause?

Prabhupāda: You should not be anxious to anything which is not ordered by Kṛṣṇa. That is your Kṛṣṇa consciousness. You don't manufacture your activities. Then you'll be entangled. Yes?
