Prabhupada said that the impersonalists always pride themselves on rejecting everything and having nothing to do with this material world. Prabhupada, however, said, “I will take everything! I will use it for spreading Krishna consciousness.” His vision was to utilize everything for spreading the glories of the Lord; but not for sense gratification. Sense gratification leads to suffering, but everything in this world becomes valuable when it is dovetailed for the service of the Lord.
