Surrender your independence to divine energy and serve Krishna as your original constitutional position.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.26.41 — January 16, 1975, Bombay 750116SB-BOMBAY [36:07 Minutes] SB-03.26.41_750116SB-BOMBAY Nitāi: [leads chanting of verse, etc.] rūpa-mātrād vikurvāṇāt tejaso daiva-coditāt rasa-mātram abhūt tasmād ambho jihvā rasa-grahaḥ [SB 3.26.41] [break] [02:58] "By the interaction of fire and the visual sensation, the subtle element taste evolves under a superior arrangement. From taste, water is produced, and the tongue, which perceives taste, is also manifested." Prabhupāda: rūpa-mātrād vikurvāṇāt tejaso daiva-coditāt rasa-mātram abhūt tasmād ambho jihvā rasa-grahaḥ [SB 3.26.41] How water is manufactured, that is explained here. The modern scientists, they speak of manufacturing water by combination of two gases: hydrogen, oxygen. May be true to certain extent.
But from Vedic literature we understand that by the interaction of form and touch through the agency of fire maybe there is perspiration. Just like when our body becomes too much heated, there is perspiration, the water comes out; similarly, the same process we get the water, ambho. And as soon as there is water there is jihvā, the sense of touch, rasa-graha, which can taste. Jihvā is meant for tasting.
So this is the way of physical manifestation of different ways. But on the background there is daiva-codita. Everything is coming into existence on account of superior management, or superior impelling. That is the main proposition, that mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ [Bg. 9.10].
These things we..., physical transformation, different ways, we experience. That is the phenomenal world. But these things are taking place not automatically but daiva-coditāt, by superior intervention, impelled by the superior Personality of Godhead. So as we explained last night, every action and reaction is being completed by the superior person, Kṛṣṇa. But He has got so multi-energies that He does not require...
Just like we have to see so many things personally. Just like in this management of our institution, sometimes we have to take personal care: "How this is being managed." Because we have to see there may not be any discrepancies in the service of the Lord. That is our duty. But entirely if we depend on Kṛṣṇa, things will go on.
But we have to depend in that way. He has got such fine machinery. The first thing is that He is seated in everyone's heart. Sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭaḥ [Bg. 15.15].
So He can give instruction to perform the respective duties—but provided there is another thing: personal consideration. The chance is given to the personal living being to take this chance but not misuse your little independence. Chance is given everyone. And Kṛṣṇa's another business is: He does not interfere with the little independence given to the living being.
