Prabhupāda: Yes. That is nice. So that is our philosophy. Tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā (ISO 1). Whatever God has given you, you possess. Don't try to possess others' property. Mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam. Everything belongs to God, so whatever God gives me, "You enjoy it," I take it. I don't encroach upon others' property. Sister Mary: You use your own responsible. Prabhupāda: Heh? Sister Mary: You use your own, responsible. Prabhupāda: Yes. I should feel grateful: "Oh, God has given me this thing, so whatever utility is there, first of all I must offer to God." "God has given me this grain to eat, so I must cook and first of all offer to God, and then I shall eat." This is feeling gratitude, grateful. Sister Mary: Would you use, say, cars if you were given one? Prabhupāda: What is that? Haṁsadūta: If someone gives us an automobile, would we use it? 
 Revatīnandana: Things like that. Prabhupāda: Yes, why not?.

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is nice. So that is our philosophy. Tena tyaktena bhuñjīthā ([[Vanisource:ISO 1|ISO 1]]). Whatever God has given you, you possess. Don't try to possess others' property. Mā gṛdhaḥ kasya svid dhanam. Everything belongs to God, so whatever God gives me, "You enjoy it," I take it. I don't encroach upon others' property.

Sister Mary: You use your own responsible.

Prabhupāda: Heh?

Sister Mary: You use your own, responsible.

Prabhupāda: Yes. I should feel grateful: "Oh, God has given me this thing, so whatever utility is there, first of all I must offer to God." "God has given me this grain to eat, so I must cook and first of all offer to God, and then I shall eat." This is feeling gratitude, grateful.

Sister Mary: Would you use, say, cars if you were given one?

Prabhupāda: What is that?

Haṁsadūta: If someone gives us an automobile, would we use it?

Revatīnandana: Things like that.

Prabhupāda: Yes, why not?

Revatīnandana: Just like this tape recorder.

Prabhupāda: Because originally, everything is possession of God.

Sister Mary: If you had a big house, a rich house, you would use that?

Prabhupāda: Yes. We shall turn into temple.

Revatīnandana: Immediately.

Prabhupāda: Immediately. (laughter) We are searching after. If you can give, it will be very much . . .

Sister Mary: To put beautiful things in it?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Wherever we shall go, we cannot go without God. So if we get a palatial house, immediately make a very gorgeous, nice temple, and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and dance. That's all.
