Our simple life
... live
simple life, keeping cows, village life as it is exhibited by Krsna,
Vrndavana. Krsna, if He liked, He could have lived in cities. How
they were happy, the inhabitants of Vrndavana with Krsna and living
and cows. That I want to introduce. At any cost do it and... Don't
bother about big, big buildings.

Srila Prabhupada:
Now, we must take to agricultural work -- produce food and give protection
to the cows. And if we produce a surplus, we can trade. It is a simple
thing that we must do. Our people should live peacefully in farming
villages, produce grain and fruit and vegetables, protect the cows,
and work hard. ... Krsna conscious people will never be losers by following
the instructions of Krsna. They will live comfortably, without any material
want, and tyaktva deham punar janma naiti [Bhagavad-gita 4.9]: After
leaving this body they will go directly to God. This is our way of life.
Stick to your own place and grow your food. There is no question of
transport. Little transport is required, that bullock cart. Krsna was
being carried on bullock cart. There is no use of petrol. Use simply
the bull. They are already there. Utilize them. No. The bull should
be sent to the slaughterhouse. Petrol should be used.
