If you actually want śānti, then you have to accept this formula of śānti as enunciated in the Bhagavad-gītā: that Kṛṣṇa, or God, is the enjoyer, only enjoyer. He is the complete whole. Just like this body is a complete whole: the limbs are part and parcel of the body, but the real enjoyer of this body is the stomach. The leg is moving, the hand is working, the eyes are seeing, the ears are hearing.


Kṛṣṇa, or in general term you can say God, but God's name can be Kṛṣṇa . . . if God has any name, the first-class name is Kṛṣṇa, because Kṛṣṇa means "all-attractive." And actually Kṛṣṇa, when He was present personally, He was all-attractive.

So Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā about peace formula. People are very much anxious for peace in the world. There are so many organizations, just like the United Nation organization. When in New York we see this office of this big organization, hundreds of thousands of flags, national flags. So the United Nation is trying to establish peace in the world.

So far we are concerned from the history, Mahābhārata, we understand that there was only one king throughout the whole world. Up to Mahārāja Parīkṣit there was only one king ruling over the world (indistinct Sanskrit) -pati, and there was one flag. But at the present moment, although we are very much advanced in the education, in economic condition and many other things, we have got many flags in the United Nation. In other words, we are becoming more and more disunited. Instead of becoming united, we are becoming disunited.

What is the cause? The cause is lacking of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā:

bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ
sarva-loka-maheśvaram
suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
jñātvā māṁśāntim ṛcchati
(BG 5.29)

If you actually want śānti, then you have to accept this formula of śānti as enunciated in the Bhagavad-gītā: that Kṛṣṇa, or God, is the enjoyer, only enjoyer. He is the complete whole. Just like this body is a complete whole—the limbs are part and parcel of the body, but the real enjoyer of this body is the stomach. The leg is moving, the hand is working, the eyes are seeing, the ears are hearing. They are all engaged in the service of the whole body. But when there is the question of eating or enjoying, neither the fingers nor the ears nor the eyes but only the stomach is the enjoyer. And if you supply foodstuff in the stomach, automatically the eyes, the ears, the fingers—any, any part of the body—will become satisfied.
