1976 Conversations and Morning Walks

The ideal is go to the forest and depend on Kṛṣṇa
Morning Walk -- April 10, 1976, Vrndavana:

Prabhupāda: Vedic civilization is in the forest. Go to the forest.

Hari-śauri: Renounce.

Prabhupāda: Neither in the city nor in the village. Go to the forest.

Lokanātha: But there were cities like Dvārakā.

Prabhupāda: That is another thing, but the ideal is vanaṁ gato yad dharim āśrayeta [SB 7.5.5]. Go to the forest and depend on Kṛṣṇa and live there. And that is perfection. Vanaṁ gato yad dharim āśrayeta [SB 7.5.5]. Go to the forest and remain, depending on Kṛṣṇa. That's all.
