Make your life successful. By becoming Krsna conscious, you become free from al these troubles of material condition. This is our education." Srila Prabhupada, Conversations, May 25, 1974

The central theme of the book reflected through the main essay titled - "Village Life - Our Philosophy, Our Education and Our Lifestyle" draw one attention towards the importance of village living.
Here is an excerpt from the book:
"The basis of 'Simple Living and High Thinking', the norm for civilized human beings, lies in the acceptance of village life centered on the performance of sacrifice, yajna, which is born of prescribed duties as delineated in the scientific system of varnas and asramas. Such a social system, being very intimately connected with land, cows and higher consciousness, namely Krsna consiousness, is the most perfect and holistic way to live. When human society, due to neglect, bad leadership or misfortune, all based on lust, anger, greed, illusion, madness and envy, deviates from this established norm, a norm scientifically designed and created by the highest of authorities, Lord Krsna Himself, a system meant to uphold, protect and foster the universal principles of dharma or religiosity, we should know for certain that only chaos will prevail and immense sufferring must follow".
