If you actually want śānti, then you have to accept this formula of śānti as enunciated in the Bhagavad-gītā: that Kṛṣṇa, or God, is the enjoyer, only enjoyer. He is the complete whole. Just like this body is a complete whole: the limbs are part and parcel of the body, but the real enjoyer of this body is the stomach. The leg is moving, the hand is working, the eyes are seeing, the ears are hearing.

Kṛṣṇa, or in general term you can say God, but God's name can be Kṛṣṇa... If God has any name, the first-class name is Kṛṣṇa, because Kṛṣṇa means "all-attractive." And actually Kṛṣṇa, when He was present personally, He was all-attractive.

So Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā about peace formula. People are very much anxious for peace in the world. There are so many organizations, just like the United Nation organization. When in New York we see this office of this big organization, hundreds of thousands of flags, national flags. So the United Nation is trying to establish peace in the world.

So far we are concerned from the history, Mahābhārata, we understand that there was only one king throughout the whole world. Up to Mahārāja Parīkṣit there was only one king ruling over the world (indistinct Sanskrit) -pati, and there was one flag. But at the present moment, although we are very much advanced in the education, in economic condition and many other things, we have got many flags in the United Nation. In other words, we are becoming more and more disunited. Instead of becoming united, we are becoming disunited.

What is the cause? The cause is lacking of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā,

<div class="quote_verse">
:bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ
:sarva-loka-maheśvaram
:suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
:jñātvā māṁśāntim ṛcchati

If you actually want śānti, then you have to accept this formula of śānti as enunciated in the Bhagavad-gītā: that Kṛṣṇa, or God, is the enjoyer, only enjoyer. He is the complete whole. Just like this body is a complete whole: the limbs are part and parcel of the body, but the real enjoyer of this body is the stomach. The leg is moving, the hand is working, the eyes are seeing, the ears are hearing. They are all engaged in the service of the whole body. But when there is the question of eating or enjoying, neither the fingers nor the ears nor the eyes but only the stomach is the enjoyer. And if you supply foodstuff in the stomach, automatically the eyes, the ears, the fingers—any, any part of the body—will become satisfied.

Similarly, Kṛṣṇa says, bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ: "I am the supreme enjoyer." So when we forget that Kṛṣṇa is the supreme enjoyer and we try to compete with Kṛṣṇa, or becoming..., try to become a false Kṛṣṇa, then the whole trouble begins.

The... Therefore this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is very essential to preach that the supreme enjoyer is Kṛṣṇa, or God. He is the proprietor of everything, sarva-loka-maheśvaram—not only of this planet; there are millions and trillions of universes, and in each universe there are millions and trillions of planets. All of them, they are..., the proprietor, the only proprietor, is Kṛṣṇa. The trouble is that we are creating false proprietorship; therefore instead of being united we are being disunited, and the flags are increasing. That's all. Competition.

There is a story; perhaps most of you know in Sanskrit there is a story, Udarendriyāṇām. There was a conference of all the limbs, that "We are working so hard, and the stomach is only eating." So they made a strike, that "We shall no more work. Let the stomach starve!" But after some days when stomach was starving, the limbs themselves became weak. So this is a very instructive story.

So we are trying to forget God, and the result is we are more and more in entanglement. This is the defect of the modern civilization. In the universities there are so many departments of knowledge, but there is no department of knowledge, "What is God. What I am. What is my relation with God." There is no such department—the most important department. And this human body, this human life, is especially meant for this purpose: to realize God. Otherwise, what is the reason?
