Prabhupāda: So if you can stick to this village life and be satisfied whatever you produce... You can produce your necessities; there is no difficulty. If we keep cows and grow food grains, fruits, vegetables, then we can live very peacefully like that. There is no need of going to the city. That is the plan of God, Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa personally exhibited. Vṛndāvana is village; it is not city. We are trying to go to the village of Kṛṣṇa—Vṛndāvana. And He was Himself, although He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He was taking care of the calves and cows when He was child, although Nanda Mahārāja was king, village king. King means he had many cows—nine hundred thousand cows. Formerly one was considered to be rich man if he possessed many cows: dhānyena dhanavān gavayā dhanavān. Now, artificially, they have made such a plan that if you can possess some papers written only—hundred dollars, five hundred dollars, fifty dollars—then you are rich.
