As soon as you say that this is law, "Keep to the right," you have to accept there is a law maker under whose direction this law is being carried out nicely. If you don't carry out, then you are punished. Similarly, nature's law is not ultimate. There is law maker, and that law maker is God. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram (BG 9.10): "Prakṛti," means nature, "is working under My superintendence." "Under My superintendence." How you can deny? If there is nature's law, who made this law? You see that the clock is running very nicely, the machine is going on, but that is not the ultimate. There is a maker of the clock or watch. Without understanding the maker, simply if you understand the clock only, that is not sufficient knowledge.

So we have to learn the science. As you are learning so many department of knowledge, similarly, this is also another department of knowledge, to learn the science of God. The government should come forward to popularize this movement and to educate people in the science of God. So in the Bhāgavata it is said, jṣānaṁ me paramaṁ guhyaṁ yad vijṣāna-samanvitam (SB 2.9.31): "The science of God is, or the knowledge of God, is most scientific." Jṣānaṁ me para . . . "And it is very confidential." Jṣānam means knowledge, and me, the Supreme Personality says, "Knowledge about Me is very confidential." And yad vijṣāna-samanvitam: "And it is most scientific." Science of God is not sentiment. It is science. It is . . . actually it is science, the science of sciences. Every science takes his, what is called, data, from this science.

Just the material science begins from the sunshine, but the sunshine is based on this science, God consciousness, Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Philosophy, any philosophy, er, any science you take, you have to accept some axiomatic truth. Then you go on. But wherefrom the axiomatic truth? Science is discovering some subtle laws of the nature, but who made that law? As soon as you say that "Here is a law which is being carried very nicely," there must be a law maker. You have to accept it. The science of astronomy—the planets, the stars, the sun, the moon moving in their orbit very nicely, very perfectly and accurately—there is law.

This is law of nature. You might have discovered—you are great scientist—that under this law, the law of gravitation or this law, that law, so many laws there are. But the background you have to inquire, "Who is the law maker?" Unless there is law maker, how there can be law? Take for example your state laws.

As soon as you say that this is law, "Keep to the right," you have to accept there is a law maker under whose direction this law is being carried out nicely. If you don't carry out, then you are punished. Similarly, nature's law is not ultimate. There is law maker, and that law maker is God. That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram (BG 9.10): "Prakṛti," means nature, "is working under My superintendence." "Under My superintendence." How you can deny? If there is nature's law, who made this law? You see that the clock is running very nicely, the machine is going on, but that is not the ultimate. There is a maker of the clock or watch. Without understanding the maker, simply if you understand the clock only, that is not sufficient knowledge.

So these things are very nicely explained in Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and we are trying to explain the science of God or knowledge. If you like, you can take, and we are sure that your life will be successful. This chanting and combined with this hearing of this Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam will advance you in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, or God consciousness.

And as Prahlāda Mahārāja is advising, instructing his class fellows, that this is to be learned from the beginning of your life, but if you have missed the opportunity, but it is better late than never. Here is a process introduced by Caitanya Mahāprabhu. We can accept it immediately even though it is late.
