Prabhupāda: He used to explain ultimately Kṛṣṇa is the dhātu. So Kuntīdevī says, ime jana-padāḥ svṛddhāḥ supakvauṣadhi-vīrudhaḥ. Everything is sufficient. Now whatever mentioned here, that "The grains are in abundance, the trees are in full of fruits, the rivers are flowing, the hills are full of minerals, and the ocean full of wealth . . ." What do you want more? You can take from the ocean that, what is called, that . . .? Oyster? Boyster? What is called?
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Crab? Oyster?
Prabhupāda: Oyster. Oyster. The oyster produces pearls, very valuable. If you can collect the oysters, you'll get valuable pearls. One pearl, ten thousand dollar. The wealth is there. So formerly people used these pearls, the valuable stones, silk, gold, silver, and decorated the body with nice manufactured ornaments. The beautiful for body. But where are those things gone? Those things are now gone. Now plastic bangles. Advancement of civilization. All these beautiful girls without any ornament of gold, pearls and nice jewel, they have got plastic bangles. Just see the fun.
So what is the use of this industry, slaughterhouse? You get these, all these things. Have enough food grains, enough milk, enough fruits, enough vegetables, clear, nice river water. There is . . . there is no need of constructing waterworks. Why? I have traveled in Europe. Each and every river has become nasty. In Russia I saw the river, in Germany I saw the river, in France also I saw the river—nasty. And also in your country I have seen that . . . what is that river in New York?
Devotees: East Side, Hudson.
Prabhupāda: Hudson and another?
Devotees: East Side.
Prabhupāda: They have created nasty. By nature's way such . . . just like you see in the ocean, how the water is clear and crystal. By nature's way, it is kept very nice, clear and crystal, and from the ocean the water is diverted by the process to come into the river, the same water, but it is crystallized without any salt. By nature's way. "By nature's way" means Kṛṣṇa's way.
