1974 Conversations and Morning Walks

If he catches the Supreme Lord as dictator, as Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya (BG 18.66), then he will be happy, immediately. Keep amongst yourself and produce. Produce food grain, produce cotton, mustard seed. Self-dependent, no use . . . and we don't require motorcar. Bullock cart is sufficient. There is no need of going anywhere.

Prabhupāda: Very recent. Very recent future. This Communist and capitalist mentality will bring the next . . . the Communists will be victorious.

Dhanañjaya: And after the war, what will be the result?

Prabhupāda: After the war they will come to sense. The Communist problem . . . Communist is not a problem. It is good proposal, but they are missing one point. They are making Lenin the leader. If they make Kṛṣṇa the leader, then the communistic idea will be very fruitful. They are picking up a rascal leader, but if they pick up the nice leader, God, the supreme dictator, then everything is all right. They are catching up a dictator, but they do not know that he is rascal number one. But if he catches the Supreme Lord as dictator, as Kṛṣṇa says, sarva-dharmān parityajya (BG 18.66), then he will be happy, immediately. Keep amongst yourself and produce. Produce food grain, produce cotton, mustard seed. Self-dependent, no use . . . and we don't require motorcar. Bullock cart is sufficient. There is no need of going anywhere.

Bhagavān: We can make our own cloth?

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Bhagavān: Khādi.

Prabhupāda: Cotton. From cotton you can make your own cloth.

Dhanañjaya: My wife knows how to spin cloth.
