72 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 8, Ch. 19
one could not be happy even if he possessed the property of the entire
world or the entire universe. In human society, therefore, the brahmini-
cal culture, ksatriya culture and vaisya culture must be maintained, and
people must be taught how to be satisfied with only what they need. In
modern civilization there is no such education; everyone tries to possess
more and more, and everyone is dissatisfied and unhappy. The Krsna
consciousness movement is therefore establishing various farms, es-
pecially in America, to show how to be happy and content with minimum
necessities of life and to save time for self-realization, which one can
very easily achieve by chanting the mahd-mantra—Hare Krsna, Hare
Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama,
Hare Hare.

If I were not satisfied with three paces of land, then surely I

would hope to get others.
