Hare Krsna to all
Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Below we have put three different things together.
1 Prabhupada explaining how spiritual life is easily done. Take the dust from a pure devotees lotus feet and then–all our anarthas will be finished !
2. Krsna is in everyones heart- and especially for the devotee we should not give Him trouble there
in the form of so many requests for Him to fulfill for our neediness. Instead we should accept Krsnas
plan, that will make both Krsna and us , happy.
3.Dont be allured by the machine civilization thinking that “I can make so much money in the city,
and that will make me happy” No. Get out of this soul killing civilization, grow your own food, save time
and chant Hare Krsna. This is Krsna’s and Srila Prabhupadas plan.

720527SB.LA Lectures Then Prahlada Maharaja says, naisam matis tavad: “So long one does not approach a pure devotee,” mahiyasam niskincananam, “great personalities, who has no more any material interest,” niskincana, “and takes the dust of his lotus feet on the head…” Naisam matis tavad urukramanghrim: “So long one does not approach such personality, there is no possibility of becoming Krsna conscious.” Naisam matis tavad urukramanghrim. As soon as one approaches the pure devotee and takes the dust of his lotus feet and puts it on his head, immediately, anartha apagamah, he’ll be freed from all this nonsense.
That means he’ll forget this idea that Materially we can advance.”
This is the process. So we have to approach a niskincana, who has nothing to do with this material world. His only ambition is to serve more Krsna. And if somebody approaches him and takes the dust of his lotus feet, then he can understand…..
710215SB.GOR Lectures .. a householder is praying to God, “My dear Lord, there may not be any theft case, burglary, in my home this night. Please save me.” So one man is praying prayer, praying like that. Another man is praying, the thief, “My dear Lord, this night I shall commit burglary in that house. Please help me to get something.” Now, what is Krsna’s position? (laughter) Krsna is everyone’s heart. So Krsna has to satisfy so many prayers. The burglar and the thief and the householder, so many prayers. ..
Therefore Krsna advises to his devotees that “Don’t plan anything. You rascal, you nonsense, you don’t give Me trouble. (laughter) Please surrender unto Me. Just go under My plan; you’ll be happy. You are making plan, you are unhappy; I am also unhappy. I am also unhappy. (laughter) So many plans are coming daily, and I’ll have to fulfill.”
So except the [pure] devotee of Krsna, everyone is simply giving Krsna trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble. Therefore, they are called duskrtina. Duskrtina, most miscreant, the miscreants. Don’t make any
plan. Accept Krsna’s plan. That will be simply giving trouble to Krsna. Therefore, a devotee does not pray even for his maintenance. That is pure devotee. He doesn’t give trouble to Krsna even for his bare maintenance. If he has no maintenance, he’ll suffer, fasting; still, he’ll not ask Krsna, “Krsna, I am very hungry. Give me some food.” Of course, Krsna is alert for His devotee, but a devotee’s principle is not to place any plan to Krsna. Let Krsna do. Simply we have to do according to the plan of Krsna. So what is our plan? Our plan is, Krsna’s says, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam. Man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji. So our plan is the same thing. …..
CONCLUSION : Srila Prabhupada is a pure devotee of the Lord. So his
plan and Krsna’ plan–SAME THING. So what is that plan?
Here is a short conversation Srila Prabhupada gave a little more than a month before he left his body in Vrndavana.
This is the overall FINAL PLAN that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to follow.
Srila Prabhupadas FINAL PLAN
771008r2.vrn Prabhupada: No luxuries. Live very simple life and you save time for chanting Hare Krsna. Hamsaduta: Yes, Prabhupada. Prabhupada: That is my desire. Don’t waste time for bodily comforts. You have got this body. You have to eat something. You have to cover yourself. So produce your own food and produce your own cloth. Don’t waste time for luxury, and chant Hare Krsna. This is success of life. In this way organize as far as possible, either in Ceylon or in Czechoslovakia, wherever… Save time. Chant Hare Krsna. Don’t be allured by the machine civilization. Hamsaduta: Yes, Prabhupada. Prabhupada: This is soul-killing civilization, this kind way of life, especially European countries. Anywhere you can inhabit it. It is not very difficult. A cottage; you can produce your own food anywhere. Am I right? Hamsaduta: Yes, Prabhupada. We will do it. Prabhupada: And money, spend for Krsna–for Krsna’s palace, for Krsna’s temple, for Krsna’s worship, gorgeous, as gorgeously as… Not
for false… This is the human civilization. And to organize this, varnasrama will help you to divide the society–brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya–as there is division in the body. That will help. Don’t waste human form of body for sense gratification. I wanted to introduce this. Now I have given you ideas. You can do it. You are all intelligent. For Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s para-upakara… So you do good to others. Not exploit others. Any human being who has been bestowed by this body has the capacity to chant Hare Krsna. Give them chance and make situation favorable. Is that clear? Hamsaduta: Yes, it’s clear, Prabhupada. You have made everything very clear.
►770527rc.vrn Conversations .. Don’t bother about big, big buildings. It is not required. Useless waste of time. Produce. Make the whole field green. See that. Then whole economic question solved. Then you eat … is beneficial. Even the stool is beneficial. Therefore I am asking so much here and…, “Farm, farm, farm, farm…” That is not my program–Krsna’s program. Annad bhavanti bhutani. Produce greenness everywhere, everywhere. Vrndavana. It is not this motorcar …..
►750403mw.may Conversations There are so many land. Come here and grow food. Grow fruit. That is… That is the desire of Krsna. Annad bhavanti bhutani. Produce food and eat in sufficiently, be strong, and chant Hare Krsna. That is our philosophy. Why you are producing bolts and nuts, tire and tubes? Eat. Rascal. They do not know that first of all you must eat. No, everyone is engaged in industry. Why? Krsna does not say that “Take to industry.” Krsna says, “Produce foodstuff.” Annad bhavanti bhutani. If you produce foodstuff, then both your animals, yourself, will be happy, becoming strong. Why do they manufacture other things?
