Srila Prabhupada (Video footages) part 3 of 8

He was 70 years old when he began his work, he had no financial resources, he was a total stranger in a foreign country, and he was setting out to sell celibacy and devotional purity in Newyork city, the capital of "doing your own thing." Ten years later he was not only the spiritual and administrative head of an International movement, but had accomplished this goal with absolutely no compromise of his original principles.

Man knows about goodness in it's minimal sense like helping someone in need like the man here says. But it is the equivalent of saying that I am a master violinist due to the fact that I can pluck a string and it makes a sound. We know something is bas because if it was done to us it would bring discomfort or harm, the same goes with goodness. But its a far cry from being good like GOd, or like God has tought us to be.

Indeed like Prabhupada said everything belongs to God, and is here for us to use WITHIN the established guidelines that please God this is following the guidelines. Not unlike a child who's father gives him a great amount of money, the son knows that the father expects him to be responsible with this money, this does not mean that we cannot enjoy life, simply that for our own well being he sets guidelines that will benefit mankind. And by these guidelines man ca run society.
