Karandhara: The inflation rate is higher than the interest rate. If you earn 5 3/4% interest in a year, the inflation has gone up 6% in a year. So actually your money is . . . at best it's kept the same.
Prabhupāda: The money should be kept in cattle and grain. That is Indian economy, cattle and grain. If you have got many cows, you get milk, milk preparation. And if you have got grain, then what is your problem? You prepare your foodstuff at home and eat, and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Where is your problem? You want to eat and live peacefully. So if you have got grains and milk, you have got enough food and there is no problem. You haven't got to go fifty miles for your work, and then you require a tin car. So many problems. But if you get your food at home, then eat them and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and go back to home, back to Godhead. Simple thing.
Prajāpati: So many people now employed in sinful activities, jobs that are to do with sinful life. If we get rid of these sinful activities, what will we find for these people to do to replace their jobs?
Prabhupāda: Do pious activities. Do you mean to say we have to continue sinful activities for their job? (laughter)
Prajāpati: They say like that.
Prabhupāda: No, we shall give engagement.
Prajāpati: Cattle industry, liquor industry, tobacco industry, all these big industries.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Let them be without industry. Come to us. We shall give them food. Yes. Just like that . . . what is that? Mṛgāri, Mṛgāri. He was thinking that, "Unless I kill animals, how I will eat, I shall live?" And Nārada gave him that, "I will give you to eat. Come here." So he became Vaiṣṇava. So that is our propaganda. "Stop this nonsense business. If you think that how you shall eat, I shall give you eating. Come on." This is our program, "First of all you stop it. Then I will . . . see how I will give you." Just see. When I came first I was alone. I had no shelter, no food. And how we are maintaining now thousands of people, and giving them to eat, and nice shelter? How it is possible? It is possible. Because after all, Kṛṣṇa gives everything. So if they become Kṛṣṇa-ized, everything will come. Why they bother about the sinful activities?
Viṣṇujana: Dhanañjaya. Like you said this morning, Dhanañjaya.
Prabhupāda: Yes, Dhanañjaya.
Viṣṇujana: Kṛṣṇa will tell us where to . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes, where to get money. We have solution for all problems. Don't bother. Go on with Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.
