Prabhupāda: Just like dry grass on the field, if you want to cleanse, you simply set fire. You simply set fire, and gradually, everything will be cleansed. If you take one's—what is called—broomstick to cleanse, it will take so much time, but if you set fire, then everything will be cleansed. Veṇu-gulmam ivānalaḥ. Analaḥ. Analaḥ means "fire," if you set fire. That is done actually. To cleanse one field, agricultural field—in India they do so—that fire produces some . . . what is called?
Devotee: Chemical?
Prabhupāda: Chemical? It is . . .
Devotee: Ash, ashes.
Prabhupāda: No, no, steriliz . . .
Devotee: Fertilizer.
Prabhupāda: Fertilizer, yes. Actually it creates potassium . . . what is called? They say some chemical?
Devotee: Potassium nitrate?
Prabhupāda: Potassium nitrate, yes. By them. So here also, deha-vāg-buddhijaṁ: we are creating, creating so many sinful reaction of life by our body, deha, and vāg, by words. By our words also we create so many sinful life. Suppose you are innocent, and if I call you by bad names and use my words without any restriction, "You rascal fool" and so on, so on, so that is also sinful. Deha-vāg. And buddhijaṁ. As we create sinful reaction of life by our body, by our words, by our intelligence, similarly, by our body, by our intelligence, by our work we can be elevated also. Just like we have engaged our body. What is that? In cleansing this temple. Cleansing. What is that verse?
- śrī-vigrahārādhana-nitya-nānā-
- śṛṅgāra-tan-mandira-mārjanādau
- (Śrī Śrī Gurv-aṣṭaka, 3)
śrī-vigraha. śrī-vigraha. This deity is called śrī-vigraha. Ārādhana: worshiping the śrī-vigraha. Decorating, cleansing the temple, tan-mandira-mārjanādau. So we can engage our bodily activities in that way. Similarly, deha-vāg: we can engage our words in chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, in preaching Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, in reciting the book. That is vāg. And we can ask others to hear, deha-vāg; and buddhi, intelligence.
How to spread this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement? First of all you have to undergo the austerities. You must be purified, tapasā brahmacaryeṇa śamena. Then you have to engage your body, intelligence and words for spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world.
