Cassava

Just like a big man, big rich man in your city. Oh, he is dismantling so many big, big houses and again constructing skyscraper. Oh, his agents are doing. He has got money, spending. He is sitting nicely. He has no concern. Similarly, parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate. The material nature and so many other agents, they are, I mean to say, performing this creation automatically. Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate svābhāvikī jñāna-bala-kriyā ca (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8).

In the Vedic literature we understand that these things are so nicely being done as if there are so many plans, so many engineers and so many scientist, they are working. No. The nature is so made by the superior brain of the Supreme Lord that it is going on automatically. Don’t you see a flower, how it is beautifully decorated with paintings? A leaf, just symmetrically . . . you don’t find any, I mean, change. So this is going on. This is going on automatically.

This is God’s power. This is God’s power. If you have got to paint one picture, one flower, oh, you have to take so much attention, and still, it may not be symmetrical. There may be some mistake. But in nature’s way you see how many flowers, fruits and so many things are coming out automatically. Foolish people, they think it is being done automatically. No. Behind this thing there is the brain of Kṛṣṇa, behind everything. And because we do not see how it is being done due to our lack of knowledge, or less intelligence, we think it is being automatically done. No.
