761102rc.vrn When men are uncivilized, they do not how to grow food, they kill animals in the jungle and eat. When they are civilized, they know how to grow food now and the nice food grains, fruit, flowers…
Jan 15 1975 SF-..Not that for your foodstuff, getting your food grain or earning your livelihood, you have to go hundred miles, fifty miles. No. At home, you produce your food grain and stock it. In India still, they work for three months during this rainy season, and they get their food grains for the whole year. You can save time so nicely.
June 6 1974 Geneva….That is the system that in India every man is producing his food grains independently. Now it is stopped. Formerly, all these men, they used to produce their food grain. So they used to work for three months in a year, and they could stock the whole year’s eatable food grains. Life was very simple. After all, you require to eat. So this Vedic civilization was that keep some land and keep some cows. Then your whole economic question is solved.
We have seen it…That means as soon as one has a land sufficient to produce, he is safe. His food problem—that is the real problem—is solved. So people are not being trained up to… In America, I have seen. Now the farmers, the father is working on the farm, and the sons, they do not come. They live in the city. This is the tendency all over the world. They are not producing food grains. Therefore there is scarcity.
So anyway, the whole world situation is degrading, that people are not producing their own food. This is the problem, real problem. Kṣetra-kṣetra-jña. This example is given. As every man must possess a piece of land… Therefore this… Because it is very common thing, this example has been given. Kṣetra-kṣetra-jña.
So as we till our land and gets foodstuff according to my labor, according to my intelligence… Food grains I can produce once twice, thrice, if I work hard. Generally, they work two times: three months, three months. And those who are very lazy, they work three months. But even working for three months, they can acquire foodstuffs for the whole year. That I have seen.
So if one believes this to be true, that you can survive nicely by growing your food in only threee months time, then as Srila Prabhupada states- “you are safe”.
Contrast this situation of being safe to what we see everywhere today in the world where people are 100% completely dependent upon what the stores stock for food, which if and when the oil for transport ever ran out or there was a strike or, street riots, or a war, or a corona virus, whatever, then in three days time, which is normal shelf time for food stock, nobody would have any food to eat !! Think it won’t happen? Why do the civil authorities always tell us to stock food and water for at least three days? There is a saying-trust no future however bright it may look.
For example look what happened in Cuba when Russia cut off their support funds because Russia itself was having a very hard time economically. The Cubans were without money to pay for oil to run their tractors, cars, or their entire power grid system. So they went solar power, and started growing food-everywhere and by everyone . It worked like a charm as they moved from total dependence upon others- to dependence upon Mother Nature–the Sun- and themselves! And I might add the average Cuban lost weight in that process since now they had to work instead of pushing some buttons.
Some Conclusions–The above was taken from pg 66 from my recent book–“How to move out of the city and take control of your life by growing your own food”.
So now at this very moment in time we are seeing how fragile material life is when run by demoniac governments. It is fragile always, but worse when everything and everybody are so much co dependent upon each other. All the countries of the world are tied together by economic ties and other things. But when a corona virus comes by, we see how terrified people become because they just dont know what will happen tomorrow. And the news just keeps getting worse day by day.
I was at our local health food coop yesterday and the milk cooler was half empty. I asked the check out woman why and she said the delivery guys just up and quit, being so afraid of getting the corona virus.
On the other hand Srila Prabhupada tells us…”That means as soon as one has a land sufficient to produce, he is safe. His food problem—that is the real problem—is solved. …So anyway, the whole world situation is degrading
So what sane man can deny this proclamation by Srila Prabhupada? What sane man would not try to make the proper arrangements for protection of his family and friends by moving out of these cities where intense fear is the common factor now?
And then try at least to do this program of growing his own food supply?
If you are ready to hear this, here are some answers I have personally found and implemented in my life and have been following now for over 20 years. When you get a higher taste , and can continue to get that taste, you will never—ever— go back to the lower taste of city life.
