Richard Webster: Oh, well I was thinking of things like work, the work which people do, with that offered to God . . .

Prabhupāda:. Work?

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Work. Service.

Richard Webster: The work . . . the bus drivers, the people . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, the service also, you must take sanction. Anything you want to do, you must take sanction from the Lord.

Richard Webster: Take . . .?

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Sanction.

Richard Webster: Oh, sanction.

Prabhupāda: You cannot do anything whimsically and you think that, "I am rendering service to the Lord."

Richard Webster: Oh, yes, but then the sanction, would that apply to scientific activities like engineering, and one of the factories of producing, I mean . . .

Ātreya Ṛṣi: Would God sanction activities in the factory, technological, scientific world?

Prabhupāda: No, there is no sanction. These are all sinful activities.

Richard Webster: These are material activities.

Prabhupāda: Yes. You have created all these things. God has not sanctioned. God has not sanctioned for running on a factory. Therefore as soon as you run on a factory, you simply commit sinful activities. In the Bhagavad-gītā we don't find any such sanction that you run on a factory, a slaughterhouse or the brothel and this business and brewery. No such sanction. But you have done at your whims. Just like in the last war, Mr. Churchill sanctioned, requested, everyone to go to the church. What is that "V"? Victory?

Dhanañjaya: Yes. Victory.

Prabhupāda: Yes. And now . . . before starting the war, Mr. Churchill and company did not take any sanction. And when they were in reverse condition, then, that time, they are going to the church for victory. So God cannot be made in such a way as order supplier. That is not possible. This is not prayer.
