Le Cow Quote Du Jour # 34

[Guest guest]

Don't deviate from the instruction of Krsna. Very directly, bhagavan uvaca,

directly Bhagavan is speaking. You take advantage of it. There is solution

of all problems of the world if you refer to Bhagavad-gita. Any problem you

present, there is solution, provided you take the solution.

 

Nowadays they are facing a scarcity of food. The solution is there in the

Bhagavad-gita. Krsna says, annad bhavanti bhutani: [bg. 3.14] "Bhutani, all

living entities, both animal and man, they can live very nicely without any

anxiety provided they have got sufficient food grains." Now what is your

objection to this? This is the solution. Krsna says, annad bhavanti bhutani.

So it is not utopian; it is practical. You must have sufficient food grain

to feed the human being and the animal, and everything will be peaceful

immediately. Because people, if one become hungry, he is disturbed. So give

him food first of all. That is Krsna's injunction. Is that very impossible,

impractical? No. You grow food more and distribute. So much land is there,

but we are not growing food. We are growing or busy in manufacturing tools

and motor tires. Then now eat motor tires. But Krsna says that "You grow

anna." Then there is no question of scarcity. Annad bhavanti bhutani

parjanyad anna-sambhavah. But anna is produced when there is sufficient

rain. Parjanyad anna-sambhavah. And yajnad bhavati parjanyah [bg. 3.14]. And

if you perform yajna, then there will be regular rainfall. This is the, way.

But nobody is interested with yajna, nobody is interested with food grain,

and if you create your own scarcity, then it is not God's fault; it is your

fault.

 

So take anything, any question -- social, political, philosophical,

religious, anything you take -- and the solution is there.
