Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

This is real knowledge of science of God that, "I am part and parcel of God, so my duty is that everything is nicely done, everything is nicely preserved, everything is nicely utilized for the service of God." That is the knowledge of science of God. I personally . . . of course, in your country there is no water supply hydrant on the street, but in India that is a system: on big roads there are supply, water supply hydrant, because there are many poor men who cannot provide water supply pipes in their house. They take from the street.

Just like you are American citizen. If you think yourself that, "I am part and parcel of the State . . ." Sometime there is some advertisement that "If you spoil this thing, you must know you are spoiling your own thing, because the State is yours." Similarly, if I know the science of God, if I know science of Kṛṣṇa, then I am . . . my duty is to utilize everything for the satisfaction of Kṛṣṇa.

Just like the same citizen who is conscious that, "I am part and parcel of this State. I shall see that everything is nicely done for the interest of the State." In Communist State they are very much strict. In other State they are not so much strict, but in Communist State, if you go a little against the State, you are immediately punished.

So this is real knowledge of science of God that, "I am part and parcel of God, so my duty is that everything is nicely done, everything is nicely preserved, everything is nicely utilized for the service of God." That is the knowledge of science of God. I personally . . . of course, in your country there is no water supply hydrant on the street, but in India that is a system: on big roads there are supply, water supply hydrant, because there are many poor men who cannot provide water supply pipes in their house. They take from the street.

So when I was passing—that is I do not know why; that is my habit—if I see that the water tap is open, I immediately close it. I do not like that the water is wasted, you see, because I think that, "The government is spending so much money for supplying water, and this water is unnecessarily being lost. So why it should be?" That is also advertised in your country. When there is dropping in your bathroom, the authorities request you to stop that, because that drop of water costs many dollars for the management.

Similarly, when everything we see in connection—nirbandhaḥ kṛṣṇa-sambandhe—in connection with Kṛṣṇa, when everything we see that, "This can be utilized very nicely for Kṛṣṇa's service," that is Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that is God consciousness: everything to see in connection with Kṛṣṇa. The Gosvāmīs, they give us this formula. Prāpañcikatayā buddhyā hari-sambandhi-vastunaḥ (Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.2.258).

The Māyāvādī philosopher, they say that, "This world is false. This world is false." Some philosophers, they are meditating to the voidness that, "These things are all nonsense. Voidness is best." This is frustration. But we know that everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa and it can be used for Kṛṣṇa. Why void? Why false? Reality.
