Prabhupada: Yes. Farming, agriculture, that is nice. There is a proverb: agriculture is the noblest profession. Agriculture is noblest, and Krsna was farmer, His father.
(Room Conversation — May 11, 1969, Columbus)
Prabhupada: Agriculture is the noblest profession. Give him some land, he cuts the wood, makes cottages. The land is clear, now till it, keep cows and grow food grains. And then live comfortably, eat comfortably, chant Hare Krsna. “Comfortably” does not mean the satisfaction of the senses. Comfortably means we require primary necessities: to eat something, to sleep somewhere or have some sex — this is also bodily need — and to defend, that’s all. These are the primary necessities. That can be arranged anywhere. God has given all the facilities. Grow your own food, eat, and live anywhere. Just this place was rough like that, now it is handled nicely, it is very attractive. Any damn place, you cleanse it, it becomes home. And any nasty man, you decorate him, he becomes a bridegroom. [laughs]
