New York Times: Congress and the Obama administration have moved to reshape the nation's food safety system. The Senate legislation, which passed by a vote of 73 to 25, would greatly strengthen the Food and Drug Administration, enabling the government to crack down on unsafe foods before they harm people rather than after outbreaks occur.
Prabhupada, London, September 17, 1969: […] People are now entangled in hard working. Actually, human life should be very easy, very easy. No hard work. Living very simple life and eating very healthy food, living in open space, no quarrel, no antagonism, everyone is happy, everyone is free. That is human civilization. Not to become entangled. But at the present moment we have become entangled. So Rsabhadeva says that mahat-sevam dvaram ahur vimukteh [SB 5.5.2]. If we actually want liberation from this entanglement, then we should associate with mahatmas, great souls. And who is a great soul? That is being described.
We have discussed some of the symptoms of great soul. The great soul is sama-citta, equal to everyone. Great soul is never angry; they are friend to everyone. And sadhava. Sadhava means sadacara, clean habits. A mahatma cannot be implicated with those four principles of sinful life. That is the first test. Full Lecture
