So to accept the supreme controller is a "must" question. You must! Without it, you cannot go forward. You must have to accept. We can . . . we can appreciate the brain of a scientist, but how . . . what the is who has created that brain? We are seeing to that person who has created, not to the brain. Just like a child appreciates a motorcar, how it is running.
But his father appreciates the driver, that how the driver is running nicely. So therefore, we should not be surprised by the creation or the working of material nature. We should appreciate who is conducting, who is the background of this material nature. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā:
- mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ
- sūyate sa-carācaram
- hetunānena kaunteya
- jagad viparivartate
- (BG 9.10)
He says mayādhyakṣeṇa, "Under My direction," Kṛṣṇa says, "prakṛti, this material nature, is working." Mayādhyakṣeṇa. Just see how he is working, how prakṛti is working. Just like in this month in your country, it is called fall? September? After a few days, so many trees will fall, all the leaves will fall down. Again in April, immediately, millions of trees (leaves) will grow.
Immediately, all. If you have to manufacture these leaves, one after another, and set up in the tree, just see how much difficult it will be. But by the laws of nature, by God's energy, immediately, within a few days, millions of trees are getting their leaves again, and millions of trees, they are falling. Millions of fruits are coming out.
Similarly, all this cosmic manifestation came into existence simply by the will of God. Not that . . . just like in season, there are hundreds and thousands and millions of fruits. You haven't got to create each fruit. When the season is there, the fruits are all ready, immediately. Similarly, when God says: "Let there be creation," millions of planets immediately created. That is God. Not that cheap God, "I am God." In your country they come, and you become cheated. We don't accept such cheap God. We want this God. Simply by His will, millions of universes are created.
- yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya
- jīvanti loma-vilajā jagad-aṇḍa-nāthāḥ
- viṣṇur mahān sa iha yasya kāla-viśeṣo
- govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ . . .
- (Bs. 5.48)
We are not seeking after a cheap God. Real God. That is Kṛṣṇa. That is Kṛṣṇa. Govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi.
So we are not so fool that . . . why we shall make research? Everything is there. So we are confident. We know what is going to happen, next what is going to happen. It is not astrology. It is . . . everything is there in the Vedic knowledge. Veda means knowledge, full knowledge. You take advantage of it and become learned.
