I quite approve your plan for manufacturing Jagannathas and do some profit out of it for maintenance of our temple. |

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "So sleeping… Eating, sleeping, mating—sex intercourse. The same enjoyment as the pigeon is enjoying, you are also enjoying. And defending—they are defending by their wings; you are defending by atomic bomb. So there is no difference of quality of life. So Kṛṣṇa, when says “Stop work,” means stop working like animals, but not to stop working like Kṛṣṇa conscious people are doing—not to stop chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. Stop you animalistic life and begin your spiritual life. That is the purpose." |

| "My Guru Mahārāja used to say—I think I have explained many times—that 'Don't try to see God. Do in such a way that God will see you'. Similarly, don't try to advise God, but follow the advice of God. That is our way." |
