Immediate problem is the petrol. Nobody trusts in God. The Arabians, they're thinking that this oil, "Our oil." But actually, his father has not manufactured this oil. It is God's oil. None of them believe in God, either the Arabians or the others

1973 Conversations and Morning Walks

Just like in modern . . . immediate problem is the petrol. Nobody trusts in God. The Arabians, they're thinking that this oil, "Our oil." But actually, his father has not manufactured this oil; it is God's oil. None of them believe in God, either the Arabians or the others. Therefore there is crisis. It is practical. Is the petrol manufactured by man? So why a section of man is claiming, "It is my petrol"? If somebody says: "It is my Pacific Ocean," what is this nonsense? Because they are going on under this nonsense ideas, therefore there is problem.

Hṛdayānanda: When you came to America, you told us in Pittsburgh that for one year no one would help you, you had no place.

Prabhupāda: Yes. (break)

Hṛdayānanda: Jaya. (Prabhupāda chuckles) The perfect example. (break) Jaya.

Prabhupāda: That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The real help for real friend is my Kṛṣṇa. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām (BG 5.29). He's not only my friend, He's friend of, even of the ant. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Yaśomatīnandana: (indistinct) . . . when Prabhupāda didn't get help from anybody . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes.

Yaśomatīnandana: . . . he just got help from Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Kṛṣṇa is the friend of everyone. We don't take His help, that is the difficulty. He says, He's guaranteed that, "If you just surrender to Me, I'll give you all protection." Such a friend who be, there. But they'll not do that. Actually, if one trusts in God, then everything is there, perfectly.

Prajāpati: So if they did trust in God, they would not have all these problems today.

Prabhupāda: No. It is factual. Just like in modern . . . immediate problem is the petrol. Nobody trusts in God. The Arabians, they're thinking that this oil, "Our oil." But actually, his father has not manufactured this oil; it is God's oil. None of them believe in God, either the Arabians or the others. Therefore there is crisis. It is practical. Is the petrol manufactured by man? So why a section of man is claiming, "It is my petrol"? If somebody says: "It is my Pacific Ocean," what is this nonsense? Because they are going on under this nonsense ideas, therefore there is problem.

Devotee (1): Sometimes they claim the Pacific Ocean as their own.

Prabhupāda: Ah? Ah?

Devotee (1): Some countries claim, you know, twelve . . . three hundred miles of the ocean is being their ocean.

Prabhupāda: That's all right, three hundred miles, let him claim. But not the all. (devotees chuckle) If I say: "Now the sandy beach, two miles mine," you can say, but what is that talk? (laughs) But it belongs to the government. You can say . . . a child may come, "Oh, this is my area. You cannot come." (laughter) That is going on. But is that sanity? The father will laugh: "All right, let him, demarcation, his area." So this foolishness is going on. Our philosophy . . . Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam (ISO 1). "Everything belongs to God." This is philosophy.

Hṛdayānanda: Jaya, Prabhupāda.
