| <p>Prabhupāda: Now you can understand by common sense that if you serve somebody here, in this material world, he pays you some money, salary, and God is all powerful. If you serve Him, He'll not pay you? No problem. God is paying everyone, one who is not serving even. If you serve, He'll pay you sufficiently, don't bother.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: God is already giving you everything, (laughter) even if you do not serve. He is so kind that even those who are not serving, He is supplying all the necessities. So when you serve God, whatever you want you will get. |
| <p>Jyotirmayī: She says she thinks that we are a little exploiting God...</p>
| | |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
| | Guest: (French) |
| <p>Jyotirmayī: Exploiting God.</p>
| | |
| <p>Yogeśvara: Exploiting God, she thinks...</p>
| | Jyotirmayī: He says, so the service that we offer now, are we going to get it back in another life? |
| <p>Prabhupāda: No, you should not approach for exploiting God. That is not good. But even if you go to God to exploit Him, that is also good. (laughter) Stop, stop. Because after all you are approaching God. Even with the purpose of exploitation, that is not good, but because you are reaching God that is very good. Just like in Christian religion we know that the prayer is "God, give us our daily bread." So God is supplying bread to everyone. It doesn't require to ask Him. But, he, because he is going to the church, and praying to the God, he is very good.</p>
| | |
| <p>Jyotirmayī: She says that to ask like the Christian asking for their daily bread, it is something very difficult, very painful, so it is very tragical.</p>
| | Prabhupāda: No, in this life. Just like we, we are serving God. We have no profession, we have no business, we have no income, but Kṛṣṇa is supplying all the necessities of life. We are paying for this house two thousand dollars per month. We have got one hundred such centers. We are spending about one million dollars per month, (laughter) but we have no fixed income. Kṛṣṇa is supplying. |
| <p>Prabhupāda: No, these things are done by innocent person. One who does not know that God, without asking, He's supplying. There is no need of asking from God. Simply we have to render our service. The definition of devotional service is given in the Vedic literature, anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ (Brs. 1.1.11), without any material desire. Serve God as a matter of duty. We serve our father as a matter of duty and the father takes care of the son, automatically. (break) ...does not serve father, he gives all necessities of life and what to speak of that son who is rendering service. (break)</p>

| <p>Guest: ...serve God for our own religion besides chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, besides becoming a devotee?</p>
| | Guest: (French) |
| <p>Prabhupāda: Yes, religion means to serve God. We are preaching that anyone who has learned how to serve God, how to love God, he belongs to first class religion. (break) ...care what is the name of that religion, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mohammedanism, it doesn't matter. We see, we want to see the follower, whether he has learned to serve God, and to love God. That's it.</p>

| <p>Jyotirmayī: So the question is that there was, a man was working a house yesterday, and he was killed doing his work, and he left his wife and two children, and this man was praying God every day. So what is going to happen now to them?</p>
| | Jyotirmayī: He said: "So I can understand that it's really God helps you." |
| <p>Prabhupāda: His children will not die for want of her. (break) ...maintaining millions and millions of children, why not her?</p>
| | |
| <p>Jyotirmayī: We saw that in India the people are not chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, now very poor, now dying of anger, oh, hunger, but there is those who are very rich, they are not religious at all. They do not chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, but are very rich and they enjoy very much.</p>
