Even you are president you have to work and even you are ant you have to work. The elephant has to work for securing a 100 pounds of foodstuff each time and the ant he has to work for securing a grain of sugar. Not that, oh I required only a grain of sugar, it may come. There is a nice example in the Hitopadeśa from which Aesop's Fable is translated. So that Hitopadeśa Sanskrit there is a story of lion. So, the lion began to sleep, that "I am the king of the forest everyone will come," so he stopped.
- nahi suptasya siṁhasya
- praviśanti mukhe mṛgāḥ
- (Hitopadeśa 36)
Even if you are lion, if you are as powerful as lion still it is not possible that you can eat without work. That is the law here, material energy. The spiritual energy just the opposite. There is no question of working.
- avidyā-karma-saṁjñānyā
- tṛtīyāśaktir iṣyate
- (CC Madhya 20.112)
- śaktayaḥ sarva-bhāvānām
- acintya-jñāna-gocarāḥ
- (CC Madhya 20.113)
So similarly, there are many energies in the Supreme Lord which are not conceivable by our limited speculative power. Śaktayaḥ sarva-bhāvānām acintya śakti. Acintya śakti, acintya means you cannot conceive how many varieties of energies are there.
- yato 'to brahmaṇas tās tu
- sargādyā bhāva-śaktayaḥ
- bhavanti tapatāṁśreṣṭha
- pāvakasya yathoṣṇatā
- (CC Madhya 20.113)
So, because He has got inconceivable energy therefore, we cannot calculate how things are happening. Take, take for example how this planets are floating in the air. We haven't calculated law of gravitation and so many things, that's somehow have adjusted. But is it not wonderful that such huge lump of water and earth so many planets they are floating in the air just like cotton swabs? How can we adjust, we can pull some theory, but you cannot create? You cannot float even a needle in the air. It will at once fall down. Or it can go up, it cannot go up. That is not in your power, so how you can conceive. You can see daily even in this material world so many wonderful things and still you think that you're God. For only which you cannot touch even.
So here it is stated that brahmaṇas tās tu, bhavanti tapatāṁśreṣṭha pāvakasya yathoṣṇatā. Again, the same example, just like you do not know, what is the amount of temperature in the sun. Now it is 90 millions of miles away from this earth. Still when the sun is too hot you cannot bear the temperature.
So, you cannot understand what is the amount of temperature in the sun disc. Actually, there is. You can simply think, that so many miles away if somebody goes, he will be at once burned. But actually, there are living entities also because you cannot say that there cannot live living entities. Because in the Bhagavad-gītāyou have understood that the living entities, spiritual sparks they are never burned. adaḥ ājyam, adaḥ ājyam the material fire cannot burn so there is no. And the reason to disbelieve that there are no living entities.
