Prabhupāda: I have seen, Gandhi wanted to organize a village program, and the village . . . (break) . . . in the field, that this program for constructing toilet in the village, they have spent so much. You know that? The first business was toilet. To restrict them to pass stool here and there, they must have. Now in constructing that toilet paraphernalia . . . (indistinct) . . . they . . . therefore it failed, village organization. Not for that purpose. There were many purpose. Because they had no engagement, so why they should remain in the village? There are so many attraction in the city, and they get money. The factory-wallas, they're inviting, "Come here. You shall get twenty rupees per day." Why shall he remain in the village? So if you can organize in the villages, they are interested in chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and getting nice prasādam, then . . . one must have some attachment. In the city there are so many artificial attachments. So on what ground they'll remain in the village? Mind . . . always remember this. Unless you have got some attachment, there is no possibility. Gandhi's program was very nice, village organize d so that they may not come to the city and help the capitalists. Remain satisfied in the village. But where is that satisfaction? That is the failure.
Lokanātha: If they add the holy name to their lives, they will . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes. If they could understand that, "That will be helpful if you chant." Therefore Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's statement will never be false. Ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanam (CC Antya 20.12). If they chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, then gradually the dirty things accumulated within the heart will be cleansed. And if he comes to the understanding, clear idea, that "I want to eat something, and my necessities . . . so if I get my necessities, primary necessities of life, and satisfaction of mind, then why shall I go to the city?" That they can have very easily . . . if they follow the instruction of Bhagavad-gītā, that "Your first necessity is food . . ." So produce food here. Kṛṣi-go-rakṣya-vāṇijyam (BG 18.44). And you'll find here so much land is lying vacant, because they have gone to the city for twenty rupees daily to manufacture Goodyear tire. And who will work here? Now I have seen in Delhi, the government is advertising, "Go back to the village."
Lokanātha: Yes, I read that . . .
Prabhupāda: You are . . . rascal, you are manufacturing wine and keeping them engaged whole day in the work. So after tired, being tired, he requires some wine. Then and why he'll go? And no spiritual education, no cleanliness. Simply inviting, "Go to the village," they will go?
Lokanātha: Just a propaganda.
