Wealth serves God or demons; communism proves material plans without devotion inevitably fail and invite nature's punishment.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
[low level audio] Prabhupāda: Lakṣmī should be engaged in the service of Nārāyaṇa. At the present moment, Lakṣmī is under the clutches of Rāvaṇa, rākṣasa. So it should be delivered, Hanumānji. So I am trying for that purpose, to deliver Sītā from the clutches of Rāvaṇa.
That is my mission. Kīrtirāja: You are succeeding also. Prabhupāda: Rāvaṇa-class man wants only Sītā, not Rāma. Rāma, they are condemning, these rascals, Suniti Chatterjee and others. But our mission is to keep Rāma and Sītā together. We are not satisfied that Rāma should remain alone and Sītā should be under the custody of Rāvaṇa.
We can't... I don't want. Sītā must be released from the custody of Rāvaṇa. [break] ...with opulence means we are bringing Sītā nearer, nearer, nearer.
That is wanted. Otherwise, for a sannyāsī, what is the use of these big buildings? No. We want these big buildings for service of Rāma.
At the present moment... Just like the Communist, they are trying to take away money from the capitalists. So this process is taking Sītā from clutches of Rāvaṇa, and it goes to another Rāvaṇa. Because both of them are Rāvaṇa, so there is no benefit.
There will be no benefit. It has failed already. The Communist movement, it is simply now rowdyism. Just like there are many rogues and dacoits, they plunder money and sometimes give to the poor.
So this is another edition of the same thing: one Rāvaṇa to another Rāvaṇa. Just like Ramakrishna Mission—daridra-nārāyaṇa—theory only. And that is also not perfect. It cannot be perfect.
