Prabhupada, Fiji, May 24, 1975: Nowadays they are facing a scarcity of food. The solution is there in the Bhagavad-gita. Krishna says, annad bhavanti bhutani: “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. Krishna 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 Krishna’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 Krishna says that “You grow anna (food grains).” 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

mala nirmochanam pumsam jala snanam dine dine sakrid gitambhasi snanam samsara mala nashanam
(gita mahatmya 3)
Human beings must bathe in water every day to get rid of the dirt (of the body), but bathing in the water of the Gita once is enough to get rid of the dirt of this samsara (cycle of birth and death).
So where is my spiritual body where is it? It is right here in the daily reading of SRIMAD BHAGAVAD-GITA my friends.
Every time when I hear SRILA PRABHUPADA saying you are not this body immediately HE reminds me about all the truth hidden in Gita.
Those who are trying to understand things by getting a diploma, SRILA PRABHUPADA says that the knowledge coming from the GITA is knowledge that must be realized by spiritual revelation.
Being engaged 24 hrs according the GITA, degrees and diplomas become useless. The transcendental relationship between the living entities and the Supreme Personality of Godhead SRI KRSNA become known by revelation.
Revelation, to whom it is revealed? It is revealed to a person who has unflinching faith and love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead as well as to the spiritual master. Yasya deve para bhaktir yatha deve tatha gurau. As much he has got faith in the Supreme, similarly he has faith in the spiritual master.
Such a person gets revelation of the Vedic knowledge from within. So those who are actually serious in engaging themselves in Krishna consciousness, devotional service, for them knowledge is secondary. Knowledge is automatically revealed to them, no diploma/degree required.
Therefore the BHAGAVAD-GITA is absolute in all fields of knowledge.
Thank you SRILA PRABHUPADA!
