Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

All these living entities who are in this material world, their determination is that, "Why I shall serve Kṛṣṇa? I shall become Kṛṣṇa." This is the disease. And to give us . . . because he wants to become Kṛṣṇa—he cannot become Kṛṣṇa, but he is persisting—that Kṛṣṇa is giving this facility. And that platform of facility, material facility, is this material world. This material world. This is the purpose. But nobody knows. Ask anybody. They'll say: "God created this universe" or "this cosmic manifestation." That's a fact. But why He created? That "why" question is answered in the Bhagavad-gītā. Everyone wants to enjoy this material world according to his whims and purpose. Kṛṣṇa gives facility to everyone. So that facility is given according to his desire, a particular type of body. One who wants to eat anything nonsense, no discrimination, so he's allowed to get a body of a hog.

Kṛṣṇa gives us full facility. I want to work in this way, "All right, you work." Kṛṣṇa says that, "You don't work. This will not make you happy. You are asking Me facilities to fulfill your desire under certain condition. That you may have from Me. I can give you. But you'll never be happy." That is Kṛṣṇa's order. You'll never be happy. How I shall be happy? Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja (BG 18.66). You'll be happy only by this process. Simply by this process. "If you manufacture, by your fertile brain, that 'I shall be happy in this way and that way,' you'll never be happy. If you want to be happy at all, then this is My instruction: sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śa . . . (BG 18.66)." Kṛṣṇa is repeatedly saying this to everyone.

But he'll not do that. He'll say: "Kṛṣṇa, give me this facility. Give me this facility. I shall cut throat of this man and enjoy." "All right, you cut throat." That also Kṛṣṇa gives. Kṛṣṇa is very, what is called, thankless task. Somebody wants to cut my throat, but I want nobody may cut my throat. Kṛṣṇa has to adjust. He will give the facility for cutting throat, and he'll save also the man who is praying, "Sir, please save me from this cutting." Kṛṣṇa . . . Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati (BG 18.61).

So this is going on. The purpose of creation is to give the conditioned soul, the rebellious soul, who, being prakṛti, whose nature being constitutional nature is that he should be enjoyed by Kṛṣṇa, but he has taken the wrong direction, that "I'll not be enjoyed by Kṛṣṇa. I shall become Kṛṣṇa." This is . . . all these people, all these living entities who are in this material world, their determination is that, "Why I shall serve Kṛṣṇa? I shall become Kṛṣṇa." This is the disease. And to give us . . . because he wants to become Kṛṣṇa—he cannot become Kṛṣṇa, but he is persisting—that Kṛṣṇa is giving this facility. And that platform of facility, material facility, is this material world. This material world.

This is the purpose. But nobody knows. Ask anybody. They'll say: "God created this universe" or "this cosmic manifestation." That's a fact. But why He created? That "why" question is answered in the Bhagavad-gītā. Everyone wants to enjoy this material world according to his whims and purpose. Kṛṣṇa gives facility to everyone. So that facility is given according to his desire, a particular type of body. One who wants to eat anything nonsense, no discrimination, so he's allowed to get a body of a hog. Because a hog can eat even stool. He has no distinction. Here is halavā, here is stool, but he'll like to eat stool. That is hog life.

Similarly, those who are very much fond of eating meat and blood, they're given the body of tiger, hogs, dogs. This is nature's law. But they do not know. They do not know. They think that "Now I am enjoying, according to my . . ." That is not enjoyment. Is that very nice food? But he's thinking, a flesh-eater, a meat-eater is thinking he cannot eat meat alone. He mixes with some vegetable. Then he can eat. Is it not? If you say all these meat-eaters, "Don't eat vegetables or grains. Simply eat meat," that they cannot do. They cannot do. Ninety percent, ninety percent he'll eat other things, grains and vegetables. And maybe ten percent or twenty percent, meat. Although we are not meat-eater, I have seen. A little piece of meat . . .
