Our only duty is how to achieve full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Other things, there is no need of trying.


Lecture on SB 1.5.18 -- New Vrindaban, June 22, 1969:

So our duty is, as I mean to say, indicated by Nārada Muni, our only duty is how to achieve full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Other things, there is no need of trying. Actually, I have seen that in India—everywhere the same case—a person without any education, even without any . . . practically illiterate. I have seen so many merchants, he cannot sign even his name. In Calcutta I've seen practically a Marwari, merchant, he, he cannot . . . he has deposited money in the bank.

Simply he can sign his own name with great difficulty. So he's canvassing, "Will you kindly write here . . ." That means the check to be paid to the gentleman, he cannot write. He's asking somebody's help, "You write the name of the person whom I can pay," and he'll simply sign. If he writes something wrong, he'll have to accept. (laughs) If he writes his own name . . . (laughter) So that man is earning millions of dollars. You see?

And I have seen also very educated medical man, England-returned, M.R.C.P—I am speaking from my practical experience—so he goes to a hospital, big doctor, but I have seen in his house, he had not even a good utensil at home. He's so poor, in spite of so much education and highly qualified, England-returned doctor.
