<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- July 5, 1975, Chicago|Morning Walk -- July 5, 1975, Chicago]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: (sings:) Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Prabhu... These are all university house or private?</p>
<p>Jagadīśa: Some university and some private. After here, these are private homes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: All very nice house.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Yes.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Let them, every house, small temple, perform kīrtana. Then this will be all success. Do not cook meat. Nice prasādam. Everything can be utilized for better purpose. Now, in the morning, they are sleeping. Nidrāya hriyate naktaṁ vyavayena ca vā vayaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.3|SB 2.1.3]]). At night either sleeping or sex, and daytime, divā carthehaya rājan kutumba-bharaṇena vā ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.3|SB 2.1.3]]). Daytime, "Where is money? Where is money?" Oh, seventy miles' speed. "Go there. There is some money." All right, take money. Then what is your next business? Kutumba-bharaṇena vā. Just to purchase for the family, finish money. Again tomorrow. "But where is the business of your spiritual life?" "No time. What can we do? Night we are busy in this way, and day we are busy. Where is the time? Don't bother us." (laughs) Divā carthehaya rājan kutumba-bharaṇena vā ([[Vanisource:SB 2.1.3|SB 2.1.3]]). (break) ...try to make them devotees, they will not become?</p>
<p>Jayatīrtha: Not very easily.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda:</p>
:bhogaiśvarya-prasaktānāṁ
:tayāpahṛta-cetasām
:vyavasāyātmikā buddhiḥ
:(samādhau) na vidhīyate

<p>Therefore too much attachment for material enjoyment is disqualification for spiritual life. So the western world is trained up for being too much attached to material enjoyment. Therefore lagging behind in spiritual life. Vedic civilization is not to encourage too much for material enjoyment. Minimize. That is Indian civilization. They, if they had money they used to spend for constructing big temple, not for residential house. Maybe the king only had a big palace. Common men, they didn't care for big palace, the palatial building. Common man would be very glad to live in a cottage, and a small garden for growing vegetables, fruits, small lake, that's all. Not wasting time for big, big buildings, big, big... What is called, amenities?</p>
<p>Jayatīrtha: Amenities. (break)</p>
