Without firm faith, there is no beginning of Krishna worship; without rules and regulations, the soul remains perpetually wet with maya.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: ...at the lotus feet of Nitāi. Nitāi-pāda-kamala, koṭi candra suśītala. Because the shelter is so cool, a thousand times cooler than the moon. Where is that..., Yaśomatīnandana?
He is not here? Yesterday he met Mādhava Mahārāja. So he had some talks. [chuckles] In that talk he mentioned that "Your Guru Mahārāja was previously a businessman, so...
And we are, from our childhood, we are Vaiṣṇava. So therefore he is doing business and getting money." Devotees: Whew. Harikeśa: Kick him on the face. Prabhupāda: [chuckles] No, don't say like that. But the thing is... Business means...
Business means four things. Yes, we are businessman. I was student of economics. I know how to do business, and the business principle means you require four things: land, labor, capital, organization.
So ordinary man cannot do that. Otherwise, everyone would have done some business and become millionaires. But it requires these four things: land, labor, organization and capital. So where you have got these?
You have neither land, neither capital, neither place. So how you can do business? I am doing business because I have got all these things. I went to America—land.
Then I worked—labor. Then I earned some capital, and I have got brain how to do it. [to Lokanātha:] Hare Kṛṣṇa. So why you are becoming paramahaṁsa?
