Prabhupada, New Vrindaban, September 5, 1972: So here in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, it is said that that is first-class religion—what is that?—which gives opportunity to the followers how to love God. Why should we not? If God is great, if our father is so great, why should we not love?
We flatter somebody here, having a say, a few millions of dollars, we flatter, and who is the richest of all, we should not love Him? Why? What is the reason? And actually He is supplying everything, eko bahunam vidadhati kaman.
He is supplying all necessities of life to all living entities, beginning from the ant to the elephant. So why not to us? We have dedicated our whole life for the service of God, so God is giving food to the ant, to the elephant, why not to us? So don’t think that you will starve in God consciousness.
You will never starve. You go on with your duty, loving God and preaching love of God. You will always be opulent, be sure. Ordinary man, if you work for him, he gives you salary, good salary. And we are working for God, we don’t all get salary? How is that? We must get.
If you are really lover of God, worker for God, don’t think of your economic condition, it will be supported. In the Bhagavad-gita it is said, yoga-ksemam vahamy aham [Bg. 9.22]. He personally supplies whatever necessities are there. Just like a father, to the child who is completely dependent on the parents, the parents look after the comfort.
The child does not ask the parent, because he cannot speak also. So he is simply depending on God, simply depending on parent. Simply, if you simply depend on God, there is no question of your economic problem. Be sure. This is common sense. Full Lecture
