Store not your treasures on Earth...

Bhakti yoga / Sri Krsna, teaches that things of this world are temporary, whereas our relationship with God is eternal. Therefore, one should do one's material duties properly but without over-attachment for the fruits, using what is needed, but understanding you can't take your gold with you when death comes.

Dr. Schumacher: Jesus was a meat eater and...
Prabhupāda: Whatever Jesus may be, whatever he may be, he is Jesus Christ. You are not Jesus Christ, you have to obey his order, not his action. He is great, he can do anything, he is free to do anything, but you have to obey his order you haven't got to imitate his. You cannot imitate great personality. He might have done in circumstances, in different circumstances, that is his business, but if you are a real Christian you have to obey his order.
Dr. Schumacher: Yes.
Revatīnandana: He is in a semi desert region and you are not, that is the point. Simple as that.
Prabhupāda: You cannot say that Jesus eat meat therefore we shall go

TRANSCRIPT FOR VIDEO TWO: COMMON OBJECTIONS TO THE “POISON THEORY”

Those who cannot understand or accept the evidence and scientific proof that Srila Prabhupada was actually maliciously poisoned with lethal amounts of cadmium, a heavy metal worse than arsenic, at levels about 250 times above the average normal person, often raise various objections to what is called the “poison theory.” Of course, it is no longer a theory, but an established fact. Those who are honest and who look at the evidence will agree with this, while those who have compromised honesty will come up with defective objections as to why it just can’t be true. Admittedly, it is difficult to appreciate the mountain of poisoning evidence if one is, either:

(1). Influenced or dependent in some way upon ISKCON or its leaders and gurus, all who strenuously deny the poisoning, have covered it up, and prohibit even discussion on the subject. Institutional pressures condition the way its members think, and independent thinki
