Answer 1

I will not have a BIG CAR just to enhance my ego or self respect or my family respect in the society and country. I will definetly have it if requirement is their for me and for my family.

Ofcouse, to some extent I would select "e" as it will pollute the atmosphere; but for this I can not loose my requirement, and it is done by all -

Answer 2

it is the subject of convenience and then maan(for me) which might or in my case most probably might not follow because having a car or not actually isnt a matter of respect or status to me so much.its about being more independent(to me). i wont abstain frm buying a car because its one of the millions of cars and vehicles leading to global warming. public transport too causes problems and we cant walk thirty miles everyday(atleast i cant) so i wont think tht much but of course if i can get a car(irrespective of its size and price)tht i can afford and which will be eco friendly, good n not troublesome I will definitely prefer it over any other car.

Answer 3

Bhagavad-gita As It Is 18, Chapter 18: Conclusion -- The Perfection of Renunciation, verse 61

The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone's heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.

Purport by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)

Arjuna was not the supreme knower, and his decision to fight or not to fight was confined to his limited discretion. Lord Krishna instructed that the individual is not all in all. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, or He Himself, Krishna, as the localized Supersoul, sits in the heart directing the living being. After changing bodies, the living entity forgets his past deeds, but the Supersoul, as the knower of the past, present and future, remains the witness of all his activities. Therefore all the activities of living entities are directed by this Supersoul. The living entity gets what he deserves and is carried by the material body, which is created in the material energy under the direction of the Supersoul. As soon as a living entity is placed in a particular type of body, he has to work under the spell of that bodily situation. A person seated in a high-speed motorcar goes faster than one seated in a slower car, though the living entities, the drivers, may be the same. Similarly, by the order of the Supreme Soul, material nature fashions a particular type of body to a particular type of living entity so that he may work according to his past desires. The living entity is not independent. One should not think himself independent of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The individual is always under the Lord's control. Therefore one's duty is to surrender, and that is the injunction of the next verse.
