Yes, that's all. Why salary? Krsna's servant. We are eternal servant. That is the beauty of our institution. We have no hired men. Unless one is sincere, why he'll work?


Room Conversation -- August 3, 1976, New Mayapur (French farm):

Bhagavān: He's a Life Member from Belgium.

Prabhupāda: Oh. He has come from Belgium? In the last German war, the first attempt of attack was on Belgium. And within few hours, Belgium finished, conquered over.

(pause)

Bhagavān: It's a very nice part of the day. It's warm . . .

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Bhagavān: It's a nice part of the day. It's very comfortable.

Prabhupāda: I think this part is better situated than New Vrindavan, eh? What do you think?

Hari-śauri: This is a lot nicer.

Prabhupāda: New Vrindavan is on the rocks and hills, and this is plain. Therefore situation is better here. That New Orleans is also plain land. You have been there? And Pennsylvania is also.

Hari-śauri: Pennsylvania is very good.

Prabhupāda: But it doesn't matter. Our purpose will be served anywhere. So try to concentrate in this village organization life. Full of anxieties, city life. The houses already there, if you repair them nicely then it is a very nice place. They're gradually being repaired.

Bhagavān: Yes. No one is getting any salary here. They are just working and taking what they . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, that's all right. Why salary? Kṛṣṇa's servant. We are eternal servant. That is the beauty of our institution. We have no hired men. Unless one is sincere, why he'll work? What is the time now?

Bhagavān: Eight-thirty.

Prabhupāda: (referring to clock) I think it is stopped. Just see how beautifully it is colored. This sense, aesthetic sense. Kṛṣṇa knows how it will become beautiful. Svā-bhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca (CC Madhya 13.65, purport). Construction—eh?—of the flower. And there is no intelligence.
