Proper maintenance of all things, material and spiritual, requires the mode of goodness and devotion to Krishna's service.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Vaiṣṇava ācāra. [break] ...how nice. This kind of building cannot be constructed. It will require crores of money.
Yes. [break] Indian: ...nobody. Only during their annual fair-varṣa melā somebody would come here, they would stay here for a few, couple of hours, and then go back.
Prabhupāda: The tank is not with water. Indian: Yes, they used to have water at both sides of this tank. Now, probably, they are short of water or they have switched on to agriculture. This is also their plot.
So many they used to have flowers and tulasī and all that. Now they have come to agriculture—wheat, barley.
Prabhupāda: Money. Such a nice tank is vacant. Indian: I remember my young days. People, young boys, they used to come swim here.
Prabhupāda: Oh. [break] Just see. So you may pay them, say, 150, 200 rupees each. Then it will be all maintained, and that much money you can spend.
Indian: And if it's nicely maintained, possibly you can get some return out of it.
