Real Retirement

After breakfast Giriraja prabhu discussed with Srila Prabhupada the requirements for men who desire to live with us after they retire.

Prabhupada said the main thing is that they may not live with their wife and they must attend our programs. "Retirement does not mean everything nil. It means to retire from material life to increase spiritual life." He offered his own example of becoming more and more active in preaching work after his retirement. So anyone who wishes to come and live with us must live in the same way -- it is not for becoming lazy.
