(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 20 January 2013, Radhadesh, Belgium, Caitanya Caritamrta 21.54) Vrndavan parityajya napadam na ekam gacchati Krsna never takes one step out of Vndavan or out of those pastimes.

No work = No food!

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2 January 2013, Durban South Africa, Srimad Bhagavatam 12.8.46) People work! All these noises come from people about people trying to make money.
