Krsna does not say that you produce tire tube. Krsna says annad bhavanti bhutani: "You produce anna." This is practical solution. We have therefore started in Europe and America farming. And they are very happy. In our latest Back to Godhead the description is published about our farm in France. We have got a very palatial building. We have named it New Mayapur.
Lecture on SB 5.5.1 -- Bombay, December 25, 1976:

Prabhupāda: This human life is not meant for, I mean to say, spoiling by working hard like the animals, as we have said that, kastan kaman. Kastan kaman. We require something, some because we have got this body. Very easy solution is given by Lord Krsna: annad bhavanti bhutani (BG 3.14). You produce foodgrains. Why you are going to produce tools and implements and... Of course, we do not condemn. But at the sacrifice of producing foodgrains, we simply open big, big tire factory. When I go to Delhi I see, from Vrndavana, hundreds and thousands persons are coming from the village on cycle to go to the tire factory, Goodyear tire factory. So now eat tire instead of getting food grains. So this is misdirected civilization. Krsna does not say that you produce tire tube. Krsna says annad bhavanti bhutani: "You produce anna." This is practical solution. We have therefore started in Europe and America farming. And they are very happy. In our latest Back to Godhead the description is published about our farm in France. We have got a very palatial building. We have named it New Mayapur. What is the place?

Hari-sauri: Chateau d'Oublaise.

Prabhupada: I cannot pronounce this French word. So anyway, our men, there are about three hundred men living there. Last time, four months, five months before I was there. It is very very nice place. We are getting our own fruits, own vegetables fresh, and we are getting fresh wheat and milk. It is so happy life.

So government is also advertising "Go to the village." Actually that is life. Go to the village. Mahatma Gandhi also wanted to organize this life, but unfortunately you have changed. Now we have got place in Hyderabad about six hundred acres of land. We are also trying here. We have already done in Mayapur. We are producing our own food, our own cloth, own milk, and we are chanting Hare Krsna. This is the simplest life. This life is meant for not working like hogs and dogs. That is the instruction. Nayam deho deha-bhajam nrloke kastan kaman arhate vid-bhujam ye (SB 5.5.1). This is the business of the stool-eater hogs. But what is meant for human life? Tapo divyam putraka yena sattvam suddhyed (SB 5.5.1). Just rectify your existence. You are not to die. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire (BG 2.20). Why don't you take this formula seriously, that "I am not subject to die. I am not subjected to death. Why I am forced to take birth and die?" This one question, that is human life. Athato brahma jijnasa. Now this life is meant for... "I am Brahman. Now I must inquire about my identity, about my constitutional position, how I can become happy, why I am put into this tribulation." Duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). Krsna says; I am not saying. This place, Krsna says, this is duhkhalayam asasvatam (BG 8.15). But we are trying to mitigate our distresses by material adjustment. But Krsna says no, that is not possible. Daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya duratyaya (BG 7.14). Whatever plan you make, the nature will break it. You have to suffer here. Because you have preferred to come into this material world and want to become happy -- you do not know what is the way of happiness -- you must suffer. Krsna does not like, because you are His son, but it is a punishment under the control of the material nature.
