<div class="text">
In which you are writing? On paper. All right, who has given you paper? Now, you make philosophical study. "Well, paper I purchased from the market." Market, how does it supply paper? "It is manufactured in mills." Oh, it is manufactured in mills. Where they get the raw materials? "Oh, from the wood." How the wood is produced? Oh, then you come to the God. You cannot produce the wood. You simply bring wood from the forest and get it to chemically purified and make a plaster, and the paper is made. So no raw material you can manufacture. Raw material has to be taken from God's stock.

Now, if the raw material is taken from God's stock, then how the paper becomes yours? This is God consciousness. This is . . . everything we'll find that nothing is our. We simply . . . the economists also say that we cannot manufacture anything, we can simply transform from one form to another. That's all. We can give our labor only. And that labor also, given the strength . . . now, suppose I work with my hand. Now, I am claiming, "This is my hand," but if God withdraws the power of your hand, paralyzed, oh, your pride is at once vanished. Not your hand. You see?

So in everything, nothing is yours. I am also . . . as spirit soul, I am also part and parcel of God. And we are thinking independently that, "I have no connection with God." This is very horrible condition. The whole world is suffering because this misconception of life, misconception of life, that he has forgotten his eternal relationship with God. So we have to revive it. We have to revive it, this process. The Bhagavad-gītā has prescribed:

<div class="quote_verse">
:dūreṇa hy avaraṁ karma
:buddhi-yogād dhanañjaya
:buddhau śaraṇam anviccha
:kṛpaṇāḥ phala-hetavaḥ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 2.49 (1972)|BG 2.49]])
</div>

Kṛpaṇāḥ means those who are anxious for enjoying sense gratification, by the fruits of their labor. They are called kṛpaṇa. And those who have sacrificed the whole body, whole intelligence . . . sacrifice . . . you always remember: what we can sacrifice?

Just like we take Ganges water from Ganges and offering Ganges, so everything is obtained from God, and now, if we offer the same thing to God, then we become liberated. Actually I am not proprietor in anything. Myself is also not . . . I am also the part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. These are the conception. Without this conception, without this God conception, there is no spiritual realization and there is no happiness, either personally, or impersonally, or socially, or economically or politically. There cannot be.
