1973 Conversations and Morning Walks

"Under My superintendence, the whole cosmic manifestation is working." The difference is you don't believe. I believe. That's all. I take it immediately: "Yes, Kṛṣṇa is operating." Therefore I have no problem. Somebody's operating, that you have to accept. But you do not know who is that person. At least, we have got knowledge, here is the person.


Morning Walk -- April 28, 1973, Los Angeles:

Prabhupāda: Handling every day. Still they'll not. Dog's obstinacy. That's all. They're seeing practically that this material energy cannot work independently unless the spiritual energy joins. So how they can expect the whole cosmic manifestation, which is matter only, has come out automatically? We are practically seeing, a very nice car, Cadillac, but if there is no driver, what is the use of that car? A computer machine: unless the man knows how to work it, pushes the button, it does not work.

So practically we are seeing that without superior energy, the material energy does not act. Still they'll not believe it. Therefore in this wonderful cosmic manifestation there must be handling of a superior energy. And that they do not know. They are amazed with this material arrangement. Just like a foolish person is amazed by seeing the mechanical, big machine—so many parts. But another person knows that, however wonderful machine it may be, unless the operator comes and pushes the button, it will not work. This is intelligence. Therefore who is important? The operator or the machine?

So we are concerned with the operator, Kṛṣṇa, not with the machine. If you say, "How do you know that He's the operator?" He says, mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram (BG 9.10): "Under My superintendence, the whole cosmic manifestation is working." The difference is you don't believe; I believe. That's all. I take it immediately: "Yes, Kṛṣṇa is operating." Therefore I have no problem. Somebody's operating, that you have to accept. But you do not know who is that person. At least, we have got knowledge, "Here is the person." That's all. Now if you say, "No, Kṛṣṇa is not the person," then you have to accept another person. So present him, that "Here is the person, not Kṛṣṇa. Another one." That you cannot. So in the absence of your knowledge, you have to accept my proposal.

(break) Can you create a stem like this in your laboratory?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: That's not possible.

Prabhupāda: (laughing) No, no. But see how Kṛṣṇa's energy is working. You cannot create even a few grains of sand, and you are claiming that, "We have become more than God." How foolishness it is.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: They will take the, the matter from Kṛṣṇa, and they will manipulate, and they will claim that they have done it. For example, they can make some, some sands . . .

Prabhupāda: That's all right. At least if you accept that, "I have taken this matter from Kṛṣṇa," that is also good. Just like we take. We take Kṛṣṇa, from Kṛṣṇa is coming everything. That's all.
