Prabhupada, Mayapur, March 9, 1974: ..Now, you can see in this country, in this village, Mayapur, their so many food grains are growing, but who is supplying? That is Krishna. It is not possible to grow these food grains in your factory. No. That is not possible. He’s helping us. He has stated in the Bhagavad-gita, annad bhavanti bhutani.
Unless you eat sufficiently, unless you have food grains in stock, you cannot flourish. Bhutani. Bhavanti. Bhavanti means flourishing. So both animals and men, they must eat sufficiently. There must be food grain sufficiently. So that food grain you cannot manufacture in your factory. You may start a very big factory, Goodyear Tire factory, but that tire also will not move when there is no supply of petrol. This is your position.
You are dependent even for this tire and petrol, and what to speak of this food grain. So who is supplying the food grain? The supplying person is… Eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman. That singular number individual person, He is supplying. You can say prakrti, nature, is supplying. No. Nature is not supplying. Nature is the agent of supply.
Real supplier is Krishna. Eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman. And that is also stated in the Bhagavad-gita. Mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram [Bg. 9.10]. Nature is working under the instruction or the indication of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna. Full Lecture
