Devotee: Is that personality within the atom Paramātmā?
Prabhupāda: Yes. Kṛṣṇa. Govinda.
Devotee: When they release the atomic energy, where does that energy come from?
Prabhupāda: From Kṛṣṇa. Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ (BG 10.8). He is the origin of everything. Don't you read Bhagavad-gītā? Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ. The atomic energy is different from sarvasya. Sarvasya means everything. Everything comes from Him. The atomic energy must come from Him. Right conclusion.
Devotee: I was wondering if they . . . they say they are splitting the atom, and Kṛṣṇa is living within the atom. When they divide the atom, there is so much energy released.
Prabhupāda: That is Kṛṣṇa's energy. Because Kṛṣṇa is there, therefore you will find Kṛṣṇa's energy.
Devotee: Is that more directly Kṛṣṇa?
Prabhupāda: Directly, yes. You cannot even tolerate the atomic energy, and He has got reserved so many other energies. Parāsya śaktir vividhaiva śrūyate (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.8, Cc. Madhya 13.65, purport). Millions of energies Kṛṣṇa has got. This is one of the energy. You cannot tolerate it. Reservoir of all energy.
Prajāpati: Today everybody is lamenting the energy crisis, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Prabhupāda: Hah. There is no crisis. They have created the crisis, the rascals.
Karandhara: Prabhupāda, we will have to cross over to here . . . (indistinct)
Prabhupāda: All right.
Karandhara: Walk down here.
Prabhupāda: Oh, that's all right. They say: "Conservation of energy." So why there is crisis? Find out the reservoir and find out the energy. That is the scientific theory, "conservation of energy." Find out where the energy comes from. (break) When it is finished, so I ask, "Just go to the kitchen. Find out some more to eat." So that is the source of energy. You find out the source of energy, then there is no crisis. (laughter)
