Therefore it is advised that our fearfulness: "How I shall live? What I shall eat? Where I shall live? Where I'll, I'll have my shelter . . .?" We are always perplexed with all these fearfulness. Why? Because we have forgotten that there is one who is giving me all protection. We are . . . we have become so foolish that, that the lower animals than the human being, they have no economic problem. They are freely living. In the morning they do not care where they shall eat. But there is eating. No animal, no bird, is dying of starvation. Have you seen any animal or any bird has died out of starvation? And who is providing him? So they have no economic problem.
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.
