True civilization requires agricultural self-sufficiency, simple living, and Krishna as the universal center.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: Gurukṛpa Mahārāja, what is the benefit of this modern education? Gurukṛpa: No benefit. It makes them an ass. Prabhupāda: Making them demons, that's all. Gurukṛpa: They become puffed-up, thinking they know something. They don't know anything. Prabhupāda: Not only that; modern educated youths, they are not inclined to come to the farm. So they're giving up their own father's property, farm.
They do not come back from city. The farmers' children go to cities for education, and after so-called education the rascals do not come. Here also and in your country also, America and... They want city life and enjoy restaurant and prostitute. Satsvarūpa: There is a song, "How are you going to keep them on the farm after they've seen Paris?" They don't want to go back. Prabhupāda: Ah.
So much land sitting. Huge land is lying vacant, and they are complaining, "Orissa is poor. Orissa..." Why poor? Why don't you work?
You must remain poor. You do not produce your food. Yudyoginaṁ kuśam upaiti lakṣmī. If you work hard, Lakṣmī will come.
Our institution is working so hard, all our devotees; therefore we have no scarcity. We are not bābājīs, taking a mālā and smoking biḍi. "I do not go beyond Vṛndāvana." Rascal, loitering and associating with so many women, and they have become puffed-up, paramahaṁsas, Rūpa Gosvāmī, imitation Rūpa Gosvāmī. Only a loincloth of Rūpa Gosvāmī.
No education, no book writing, no going out of Vṛndāvana—begging. And therefore government's capturing them and giving this injection... What is that? Gurukṛpa: Sterilization. Prabhupāda: Sterilization. Yes, just see.
So many illegal children are born by these women. Bhajana. Bhajana kara. One bābājī has at least three women, four women.
