Srila Prabhupada, New York, August 27, 1966: […] If to the elephant you give two hundred pounds foodstuff, he’ll take only a hundred pounds as he requires. Neither he’ll take the foodstuff to his place to stock it for next day. No. You see these pigeons. You see. Whenever you give some foodstuff they take whatever they require, but they don’t take anything for the next day. Next day. But we are thinking, “oh, we have got so much foodstuff. All right, let me eat up to my throat, and then take something for next day.” No.
The next day question should be stopped. We shall always depend. We shall always take as much as we require. That is called yoga-yukta. Yuktahara-viharasya yogo bhavati siddhih. One who is situated just exactly what he needs. Now, the whole world is situated in such a way, that every body, if he takes exactly what he needs and he does not stock, then there is no need. There is no poverty, there is no scarcity.
But we do not do that. We stock for black market. No. That is creating… Because I am thinking that “This is my property.” If I think that “Every thing, every eatable things, they are sent by Krsna or God for everyone, let me take whatever I want,” then there is peace in the world. Of course, that is not possible because it is such a world. It is such a world that we are always anxious to stock, or you’ll ask always to take more, then more, then more. Nobody is satisfied. Nobody is satisfied.
So yoga-yukto visuddhatma. One who is visuddhatma, one who is situated in his pure consciousness, then vijitatma jitendriyah. Vijitatma, and jitendriyah. Jitendriyah means that greedy, greediness. I want more. As soon as he becomes Krsna consciousness, his greediness goes away. “I don’t want more. I don’t want more.”
So if everybody thinks like that, that “I don’t want more,” then where is the trouble in this world? There is no trouble. Because by grace of God, there is enough food, enough sufficient stock. Simply it is the anomaly of distribution by the human society that is creating one starving and one… And that starvation is also due to his own work. Full Lecture
