Prabhupāda: Luxury leads to poverty. When the American becomes too much luxurious, they'll not be able to defend their country. Then it will be finished. Rāmeśvara: That is the fear even now, that America has lost their fighting spirit against the Communists. Prabhupāda: Oh, yes, yes. Yes. Vietnam, it is proof. When the Vietnam is attacked, American soldiers, they began to fly, flee away, became afraid. Naturally. They were not soldiers. They have no fighting spirit. By force they have been made soldiers.

Prabhupāda: Now England is finished. There are aristocrat type statues now rolling on the ground. Who takes care? They're . . . this Lennon? Lennon, John Lennon and George Harrison, they are purchasing big, big palaces. (japa)

Hari-śauri: All the aristocracy, they just go out to work like anyone else. All the aristocracy . . .

Prabhupāda: The lords are roaming on the street. I have seen many lords. They're ordinary . . . even they haven't got car. The Queen also, just like ordinary, common man. Royal family.

Rāmeśvara: One day America will be poor like that also.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Luxury leads to poverty. When the American becomes too much luxurious, they'll not be able to defend their country. Then it will be finished.

Rāmeśvara: That is the fear even now, that America has lost their fighting spirit against the Communists.

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes, yes. Yes. Vietnam, it is proof. When the Vietnam is attacked, American soldiers, they began to fly, flee away, became afraid. Naturally. They were not soldiers. They have no fighting spirit. By force they have been made soldiers.

(pause)

Prabhupāda: Let them take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, America will be saved. (japa)

Rāmeśvara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, you said yesterday, or a few days ago, that this movement will go on unimpeded for ten thousand years, so . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, provided we keep it uncontaminated. You should . . . (indistinct) . . . take this opportunity.

Rāmeśvara: So after ten years we have gotten so many devotees and so many houses, so I can't imagine how big this movement will be after ten thousand years.

Prabhupāda: Yes. You'll get the government.

Rāmeśvara: The whole world will be delivered.
