751226c Morning Walk - Srila Prabhupada Speaks a Nectar Drop in Sanand

Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada
"Prabhupāda: How degraded they have become. There is no food, and they are busy for growing tobacco.

Hari-śauri: You say that's what they call a cash crop.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Hari-śauri: The other day.

Prabhupāda: Now eat cash. So cash is also paper. So what is the use of laboring so hard? You eat paper. Paper is available.

Yaśomatīnandana: It is prohibited to buy gold with that paper.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Yaśomatīnandana: You cannot buy gold. Government has prohibited.

Prabhupāda: Because you are rascal, your government is rascal. Democracy. What is the government? Government means your replica. So why do you blame the government? You are fools, rascals; you send other fools and rascals and suffer consequence. Tea, growing tobacco, growing jute, and no grains. And grain for the animal, so that animal, as soon as it becomes fatty, send it to the slaughterhouse, and then finish business. Smoke, eat meat, drink and be happy. So much land, but it is producing tobacco, which we are prohibiting, "No smoking.""
