God's government enforces cosmic law perfectly; this human life is your chance to escape punishment and return home.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Pradyumna: Translation: "When the order carriers of Yamarāja, the son of the sun-god, were thus forbidden, they replied, 'Who are you, sirs, that have the audacity to challenge the jurisdiction of Yamarāja?' " Prabhupāda: ūcur niṣedhitās tāṁs te vaivasvata-puraḥsarāḥ ke yūyaṁ pratiṣeddhāro dharma-rājasya śāsanam [SB 6.1.32] So there is śāsana. Śāsana means government. Śas-dhātu I have several times explained. Śas-dhātu means ruling. Śas-dhātu. From śas-dhātu the word has come, śāsana. There are many other words. From śas-dhātu is śāstra.
And from śas-dhātu, śastra. From śas-dhātu, śāsanam. The Sanskrit words are coined from the dhātu verb. So śas-dhātu means ruling.
So there is ruling. You cannot think that you are independent. There is government. If you disobey the ruling, the government has got police department, and if you are still disobedient there will be military department.
You cannot disobey the rulings of the government. Similarly, this government, God's government, there are so many things—government officers, department rulings. Don't think that there was a chunk and immediately there was... Nonsense.
It is not chunk. [laughs] It is regular government. Just like we have here a small place. In Hawaii you have got so many government officers, rulers.
And do you think such a vast cosmic manifestation there is no ruling? Just see how poor thought. There is ruling. Don't think all of a sudden that...
Any sane man can understand that things are being carried systematically—the seasonal changes, the seasonal fruits and flowers, the sunrise, the moonrise, the birds, death, old age, disease—everything systematically going. And is that happening by chance? Why by chance one does not live forever? There is no such chance, sir.
