Use simply the bull

Prabhupäda: Stick to your own place and grow your food. There is no
question of transport. Little transport is required, that bullock cart.
Kåñëa 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.

============ REF. HIGHLIGHTS: Perform sacrifice and become self-sufficient…

Dhanaïjaya: I remember, Çréla Prabhupäda, you were saying that all we
require is some oxen, and the oxen can carry.
Prabhupäda: Yes. The oxen will solve the problem of transport. That bullock
cart. Just like Kåñëa, when He was transferred from Gokula to Nandagräma,
so they took all the bullock carts, and within a few hours they transported
them, the whole thing, their luggage, family member, everything.
Bhagavän: How far can a bullock cart travel in one day?
Prabhupäda: At least ten miles, very easily, very easily. And maximum he
can travel fifteen miles, twenty miles. But when we are localized, we don’t
require to go beyond ten miles, five miles. Because we have created a
rubbish civilization, therefore one is required to go fifty miles for
earning bread, hundred miles, hanging.

============ REF. HIGHLIGHTS: Energy problems will be solved as soon as we
are localized…oxen will solve problem of transport…
