The only this foolish, advanced, civilized man, under the name of so-called misusing the intelligence—which was given to him for realization of God—misusing for sense gratification, and therefore they are troubled. That is the whole problem. The world's problem is due to this forgetfulness. Īśād apetasya viparyayo 'smṛtiḥ. They have forgotten the protection of Kṛṣṇa, God. They think that "By this adjustment, we shall be able to protect." Nonsense. It is not possible. Can you protect yourself from death? No. Then what is your protection?
So this is the formula: bhayaṁ dvitīyābhiniveśataḥ syāt. Dvitīya means that a, a secondary existence beyond God which is, in Bible, it is Satan and God. So this satanic mentality has made them under the control of material nature. Satanic mentality. What is that satanic mentality? That "I want to be God." Always thinking falsely, "I am God," or "Independent," "I can do anything, everything," "Whatever I survey, I am the lord of whatever I survey." These foolish things are going on.
So this is very nicely explained, and reference is given by Lord Caitanya that our whole difficulty, problems, anxiety . . . a similar verse is in Bhāgavata, another place, sadā samudvigna-dhiyām asad-grahāt (SB 7.5.5).
Asad-grahāt. Asat means nonpermanent, which will . . . we shall not exist. Due to our absorption in that sight, asat, this matter . . . just like this body: it will not exist. So giving too much stress on the bodily concept of life, they are sadā samudvigna-dhiyā, they are always full of anxiety. This is the cause.
The foolish people, they do not know. Still, they are very much proud of education. Here is the cause: that because we have given too much stress on this false conception of life, therefore we are always full of anxiety. And as soon as I understand that, "I am pure spirit soul, part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Lord. He is giving me all protection, and my duty is to love and serve Him," then I am free. At once I am free. The simple formula.
How He'll give me? He's not poor man. He's, He's . . . what you are? Your human, human being, they are very few. If you compare with other animals, other living entities, oh, you are most insignificant number. Your number is very little, especially for the civilized. If you search out a hole in your room, you'll find millions of ants coming out. Even in your room you'll find, you'll be over-voted. So who is supplying their necessities? Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13).
In the Vedic language we can understand that one singular entity . . . God is also a living entity. He's not void. He's just like a person, like you and me. But He's so powerful. Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān. One single number, He is providing so many, innumerable living entities.
So our business is . . . and the Bhagavad-gītā you'll find, teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ yoga-kṣemaṁ vahāmy aham (BG 10.10): "I supply whatever he needs. Who is constantly engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, I supply it. I take the goods personally and deliver there." Why should you be anxious? Kṛṣṇa will take hundred pounds of flours, hundred pounds of rice, and deliver you. Just be Kṛṣṇa conscious. In ordinary home you don't find more than five pounds. You see in our stock, all hundred pounds.
So these are facts. These are not stories. But foolish people, they have no knowledge of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Be in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. All your material necessities will be . . . but don't be extravagant. Take only whatever you need to maintain your body and soul together and execute this . . . make this primary, and other things secondary. Kṛṣṇa will supply you. But if you want to make your sense gratification, if you want to accept more than what you need, then you'll be in trouble. That is māyā. So Kṛṣṇa has provided for everyone, everything. There is no need of being anxious. But that does not mean that I shall feel, "Oh, I shall do everything and anything." No. So this is Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
