Morning Walk — January 10, 1974, Los Angeles 740110MW-LOS ANGELES [34:26 Minutes] Walk_740110MW-LOS ANGELES Satsvarūpa: We always say that you water..., the best way to water the tree is from the root, but he says that the way that nature actually waters is from the top.

Prabhupāda: So wherefrom the top water comes? Svarūpa Dāmodara: By evaporation.

Satsvarūpa: The clouds. Svarūpa Dāmodara: By evaporation of the ocean.

Prabhupāda: And who kept the ocean? You go on. Svarūpa Dāmodara: By nature.

Prabhupāda: [laughs] Then you come to somebody. And that is foolishness. Then nature is not ultimate. Kṛṣṇa is the ultimate.

Because you cannot see Kṛṣṇa, therefore you say "nature." Svarūpa Dāmodara: "Nature is under My control," Kṛṣṇa says. Kṛṣṇa says, "Nature is under My control." Prabhupāda: Yes. Svarūpa Dāmodara: It is just like an equilibrium, Śrīla Prabhupāda. In science it is called equilibrium, means this on and off...

Prabhupāda: It is called cakra. What is that? In Bhagavad-gītā it is said, brahma-cakra, brahma-cakra. Sarvaṁ khalv idaṁ brahma [Chāndogya Upaniṣad 3.14.1].
