Prabhupāda: We spend for God. We are servant of God. We want to see God gorgeously situated, and for us we have no comforts, we don't care for any comfort. We simply spend minimum, just to keep the body and soul together, that's all. This is our principle. We don't spend a farthing for our sense gratification. This should be noted down if some case is there. This should be presented. We don't go to restaurant, we don't go to cinema, we don't spend lavishly for dress or something else. No. Neither for furniture. (laughter) Eh? If you sit down in a . . . a pad, is that faulty?
Hari-śauri: Then when they go to any of our temples, they're amazed because we don't . . .
Prabhupāda: We sit down, don't use any chair, any couches, unnecessarily, carpet. What expenditure? We have no expenditure for personal self. And still you are faulty? What can be done? We don't purchase any cosmetic; this clay tilaka is sufficient. We don't apply any pomade or cosmetic or ointment, either for our girls or ourselves. We don't do that. We live very simply. After fifteen days we shave; there is no use of cutting or decorating. Note down all these things. We have no doctor's bill even.
Hari-śauri: It's because of those things . . .
Prabhupāda: At least I save doctors bill. (chuckles) I am always sick, but I never go to the doctor. Give me little neem give me little this (sounds of hand striking table), that's all. Then what less expenditure we can make it. As far as possible do not go even to the doctor.
