94. Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 5, Ch. 16
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, although it appears different from
Him. Therefore although Pariksit Maharaja had no need for geographical
knowledge of this universe. that knowledge was also spiritual and tran-
scendental because he was thinking of the entire universe as an expan-
sion of the energy of the Lord.

In our preaching work also, we deal with so much property and money
and so many books bought and sold, but because these dealings all per-
tain to the Krsna consciousness movement, they should never be con-
sidered material. That one is absorbed in thoughts of such management
does not mean that he is outside of Krsna consciousness. If one rigidly
observes the regulative principle of chanting sixteen rounds of the
mahd-mantra every day, his dealings with the material world for the
sake of spreading the Krsna consciousness movement are not different
from the spiritual cultivation of Krsna consciousness.
