Prabhupada, New York, December 21, 1966: […] Therefore formerly, all the sages and saints, they used to live in a forest. Still there are many transcendentalists, they live in the forest, because forest is considered to be situation in goodness.

Similarly, those who live in cities and villages, in society, human society, that is rajasika. And those who live in the liquor shop and similar, gambling shop and other, they are called tamasika.

So this goodness, passion and ignorance, the division. And how to nirguna? When you live in a temple of Krishna, that is nirguna. That is transcendental. So if you live in a society like this, Krishna consciousness, then you are nirguna. You are above the qualities.

It is far better than to live in the forest or in the city. Those who are in touch with the supreme nirguna… Nirguna means transcendental to the material modes of nature. So nirguno bhavet. Sa sarva-drg. Harir hi nirgunah saksat. Full Lecture

    Heh!

    Wouldn`t that be nice. I was just mentioning that to my wife as we walked along one of the little streets of her old home town of Crabtree here in Quebec. We are on holidays. There is no temple in Toronto to live in or even retire to. No farming community and no devotees to trust with your retirment funds. So like the rest of the scattered Prabhupada devotees, we are on our own. No Prabhupada house for us to live in…thanks Bhakti Marga Swami ad all of your supporters, who will face a future blacker than ours. 🙂
