Spiritualize life through Krishna consciousness, and Krishna Himself personally provides everything needed.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
[begins in car] Bhagavān: ...all the devotees came, and we carried Jagannātha around the land. It was very blazing hot, and we stopped at one point to read Caitanya-caritāmṛta, the part where Lord Caitanya is going in front of the ratha cart. And the thunder came and lightning, and it started to rain. [break] [lecture at temple; translated into French throughout] Prabhupāda: Not working. kṣetra-jñākhyā tathā parā avidyā-karma-saṁjñānyā tṛtīyā śaktir iṣyate [Cc Madhya 6.154] Kṣetra-jñākhya tathā para.
Avidyā karma saṅgaḥ anya tṛtiya śaktir iśyate. Viṣṇu-śakti, Viṣṇu, the supreme controller, all-pervading Godhead, Viṣṇu, He and His potency, viṣṇu-śakti parā proktaḥ, both of them are transcendental. So the viṣṇu-śakti potency is one. Another reflection of the viṣṇu-śakti is karma-saṁjñānyā, that is, you have to work.
That is called tṛtīyā the third, karma-saṅgā where you have to work. The idea is that original Viṣṇu potency, you haven't got to work. Everything is supplied automatically. And the avidyā-karma-saṁjñānyā, and the other reflection, or perverted reflection, is this material world.
Just like you have recited this verse, cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam [Bs 5.29]. In the spiritual world the trees are desire tree—means whatever you want, you can get—whereas in this material world, trees are not like that; they are limited potency. The cows there, unlimited potency. Surabhī means you can milk out as many times as you like, and as much as you like.
So the idea is the spiritual world means there is no need of endeavoring for getting anything; everything is there automatically. And the material world, we have got experience, for everything we have to work so hard, then we can get something. So actually this material world is perverted reflection. Just like this body, without the spirit soul, it is useless; similarly, this material world, even, if there is no spiritual touch, it is useless. So the more you spiritualize the whole atmosphere, the more you become sufficient and happy.
This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is for that purpose. People cannot understand it. They think that "These people are not working, simply chanting and dancing and eating." But that is our business. [laughter] Without working, we can have everything sufficiently.
So stick to this Kṛṣṇa consciousness. You are already advanced. That is my request. Don't deviate.
