Prabhupāda: We don't hate to work. That is not our business. If we get work, we work for Kṛṣṇa. The income comes to Kṛṣṇa. But if we don't get work, we are not bothered that, "There is no work.

How to eat, how to sleep, that is not our problem. Our only problem is how to satisfy Kṛṣṇa.

Guest (1): Yes. That was the question that was puzzling me. What is . . .?

Prabhupāda: That you have to learn. Not in a moment you can understand. Then you have to come to the schooling process. Otherwise, how you can learn in a moment, such a big subject matter?
