Devotee: "He who is satisfied with gain which comes of its own accord, who is free from duality and does not envy, who is steady both in success and failure, is never entangled, although performing actions."
Prabhupāda: Yes. Now if I think that, "I am poor man. Oh, the bank proprietor and directors, they have got so much money . . ." The theory of the . . . communist theory. They have tried to attack others that, "They have snatched our money." Actually one should be satisfied. Just like a bank clerk or a bank cashier should be satisfied with his post and the wages he gets. He should be satisfied. If God pleases, he will be elevated to higher position. That is God's grace. But we should not be disturbed. We should be sati . . . and thus disturbance can be checked only if we are in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
You'll be surprised, in 1942 there was an artificial famine in India by politicians, and practically they were starving. And one American gentleman, very responsible man, he was present. He said that, "In our country if such starvation would have happened, there would have been revolution." But the Vedic culture is so nice that nobody even stole a pin from others' pocket. They starved. Because the culture is they are satisfied: "Well, God has put me in this condition. Why shall I encroach upon others' property?" That is Vedic culture. Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam (ISO 1).
"Everything belongs to God. Whatever He has allotted to me, that is my possession. I can . . ." Tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā: "Whatever is allotted to you, be satisfied." Mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam: "You do not encroach upon others' property."
If anyone is satisfied in this way in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, where is the question of stealing? There is no question of stealing. There is no need of law for the thieves. People will become so honest. He will be satisfied.
