Only chanting Hare Krsna and taking prasadam can rectify those enslaved by tongue and greed.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk in the Botanical Gardens — May 23, 1975, Melbourne 750523MW-MELBOURNE [56:52 Minutes] Walk_750523MW-MELBOURNE Śrutakīrti: [introducing recording] The following is Prabhupāda's final morning walk in Melbourne, Australia, in the Botanical Gardens on May 23rd, 1975.
Prabhupāda: ...filled with fruits and flowers, then it would have invited many nice birds. But they do not know that. [break] ...chirping, the beauty of the gardens would have been more beautiful. But they cannot invite.
There is no fruits, no flower. Sabhāpati: Śrīla Prabhupāda, all the devotees on the walk this morning, they are the book distributors.
Prabhupāda: Huh? Sabhāpati: They are the Australian book distributors, all the devotees on the walk this morning. [pause]
Prabhupāda: It is a fact that they do not grow fruit trees because people will eat and will not work? Is that the policy? Somebody told me like that, that if there is enough fruit, then people will eat and they will not work.
Amogha: The fruit business would go down also. The fruit stands would not be able to sell much.
Prabhupāda: Just see. Bad policy. Śrutakīrti: The government does that. On some farmers, they will pay them not to grow to keep the price high.
