Simple farm life and honest work, performed with devotion, please Krishna more than material opulence.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Hari-śauri: [announces] Prabhupāda visits the marble shop. [break]
Kīrtanānanda: This is a cutting table, Śrīla Prabhupāda. Here's is a diamond saw. When you cut marble you have to use water, so it automatically shoots water out.
Devotee: You can make the cut if you want to.
Kīrtanānanda: This is a marble base. This is what they cut on, just to make it flat. It has to be a perfectly flat table. This is part of the floor for your study room.
Kīrtanānanda: Yes, this is all marble, but it is glued together in little pieces, like inlaid. And this is the polishing room. [break] Take the rough marble and make it shine.
Prabhupāda: You have spent so much money. What is the price of this machine?
Kīrtanānanda: Well, there was a man, he was going out of business in Pittsburgh, and I got a great deal of marble and all the machinery and everything for nine thousand dollars. It is very cheap.
