Guest (2): No, sir.

Prabhupāda: Just we are doing so many places. So you produce your own food grains—not for making money but just for feeding yourself and the animals, cows. Keep cows, as many cows as possible; and produce; till the ground, field and make water supply arrangement. If the investment is required, we shall do that. You have no worry about investment. We shall bring money from anywhere. But the work must be done very nicely. There must be good arrangement for water supply and for plowing and keeping the cows in order. Then you get sufficient milk, sufficient food grains and produce your own cloth. The girls and ladies, they can spine (spin) thread, and from the thread you make cloth, handlooms. So your first necessities of life, eating, and make little cottage, sleeping. And if you want sex, get yourself married, live peacefully. And when you are there, you can defend yourself.

Is there any difficulty?
