The difficulty is that America is thinking, "It is my property. It is my production. Why shall I give to the hunger stricken, ah, the poverty-stricken people of the world? Better throw it in the water." To keep the price. So due to our mismanagement the sufferings of the world, there. It is not God's creation. God's creation is—there is sufficient food for everyone. God's creation—there is no want. My Guru Mahārāja used to say that there is no scarcity of anything within the world, the only scarcity is Kṛṣṇa conscious, only scarcity is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

A dog has got a different type of body and a learned Brāhmin has got a different type of body but both of them are the same souls, spirit souls. By his karma he has to accept a certain type of body but as spirit soul he is pure. Asaṅgo hy ayaṁ puruṣaḥ (Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad 4.3.15), the Vedas says. Therefore he sees everyone and he tries to, I mean to say, render service to everyone and that service can be rendered by Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Unless one is Kṛṣṇa conscious he cannot see everyone on the equal footing. It is not possible. Artificially universal brotherhood can not be established unless there is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. That is sambandha-jñāna. And for abhidheya means acting according to sambandha-jñāna. That I have already explained. That first of all he must act, establish our relationship.

So the relationship is that God is great, we are subordinate. He is maintaining everyone, His property is for everyone, His property is everyone. These are actually socialism. Not that one man should starve or one man should enjoy. No, no. Every son has got the right to enjoy the property of the father. If God is father, Kṛṣṇa is father then every living entity has the right. So God's arrangement is there. You produce, there is sufficient production. Even taking the calculation of the modern, the America has got immense production, there is, there is no question of starvation any part of the world.

But the difficulty is that America is thinking, "It is my property. It is my production. Why shall I give to the hunger stricken, ah, the poverty-stricken people of the world? Better throw it in the water." To keep the price. So due to our mismanagement the sufferings of the world, there. It is not God's creation. God's creation is—there is sufficient food for everyone. God's creation—there is no want. My Guru Mahārāja used to say that there is no scarcity of anything within the world, the only scarcity is Kṛṣṇa conscious, only scarcity is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Therefore this movement, spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is the highest welfare activity to the human society.
