“God supplies you everything. God is supplying food to the elephant who is eating at a time forty kilos of food, and He’s supplying to the ants also”
Prabhupada, University Lecture, Calcutta, January 29, 1973: […] Otherwise, I have not come to teach you something invented by me. I have come to teach you about Krishna consciousness. And if you are not interested in Krishna consciousness, then you must be amongst these four classes of men: duskrtinah, mudhah, naradhama, mayayapahrta-jnana. This is my first reply.
So far economic condition is concerned, then I may say, eko yo bahunam vidadhati kaman. God supplies you everything. God is supplying food to the elephant who is eating at a time forty kilos of food, and He’s supplying to the ants also.
So your anxiety for food, that is not humanly. Even the cats and dogs, they are not anxious for their food. Even the birds, they rise early in the morning, they are also not anxious for the food. God has arranged for food, everyone. Tal labhyate duhkhavad anyatah sukham.
As you do not try for getting distress, it comes upon you according to your karma, similarly the so-called happiness also will come upon you without any endeavor. But because you have no faith in God, you are thinking that you will die out of hunger. That is not the position. Tasyaiva hetoh prayateto kovido.
Our only business is how to become advanced in Krishna consciousness. There is no other problem in human life. Athato brahma jijnasa. This is the human life. But you have been deviated from that high standard of life. You are now questioning in this way. That is my reply. Thank you very much. (end)
