People criticize us that “Why you are utilizing motorcar ? Why you are utilizing aeroplane?” But our tactic is we can utilize any so-called anartha in the service of Krsna. That is our tactics. That means you have created some anartha, but we can engage even this anartha in the service of Krsna and make it meaningful. That is our business.

Although we are riding on motorcar, we don’t think it is essential. But those who are captured by the civilization, they think it is essential. That is the difference. Anasaktasya visayan. Our process is that if we have to preach, so we have to go to United States. So if there is aeroplane, why shall I waste my time? Let us accept this thing.

We don’t deprecate the material advancement. But we simply warn that “Don’t forget Krsna simply for the matter of material advancement.” This is Krsna consciousness. We don’t discourage you, but when you have invented something material, utilize it for Krsna. Anasaktasya visayan. Don’t be attached to the motorcar, but utilize it for going fast for preaching work.

Don’t die for want of motorcar. But if you get the opportunity to go faster than walking, you should utilize it. Nirbandhah krsna-sambandhe yuktam vairagyam ucyate. This is required, that everything engaged in Krsna’s service. That is called yukta-vairagya.

We don’t see anything material. We have to see to it that it is Krsna’s energy, it is made from Krsna’s energy, and it should be utilized for Krsna. This sense is called Krsna consciousness. So if you take to bhakti-yogam adhoksaje, the anartha, things which are not wanted, anartha, or problems, the problems of the world, will be mitigated. Anartha upasamam saksad bhakti-yogam adhoksaje. People do not know it. Lokasya ajanatah. Therefore we have to teach them. That is Krsna consciousness movement.
