A typical misuse of Prabhupada's quote. Let's see the context of

Prabhupada's statements on this topic and see if it justifies not feeding

other's because God is doing it:

 

"If you find out a small hole, you will find millions of ants coming.

They are also living entities. And who is arranging for their food? You

are not very much busy to... Although it is your duty. That is also

Bhagavata communism. Bhagavata communism says that even if you have got a

lizard in your room, you must give him something to eat. If you have got a

serpent in your room, you must give it something to eat. Nobody in your

house should starve. You see? This is Bhagavata communism, not that "Only

my brother and sister will not starve, and other animals should be killed."

This is not communism. Here is communism. This is Krsna consciousness

communism, that a Krsna conscious person is thinking even for the ant, even

for the lizard, even for the serpent. That is real communism."

 

Even though God is feeding everyone including the ants, still "it is your

duty".
