Prabhupada: Yes, yes. Yajnad bhavati parjanyah. (sound of thunder and rain) This time rainfall is very beneficial for crops. This is the way of living. You perform yajna, there will be rain. And as soon as the ground is moist, you can produce anything, whatever you want. Sarva-kama-dugha mahi. From the field, you can get all your necessities of life. The first necessity is the food grain. So food grain you can eat, and the rejected grass portion, you give to the cows. So both the animal and the man get sufficient food. And the cows will give you nice milk, and from milk you can get butter, ghee, yogurt, so many nice sweetmeat. And there is ghee, and here is food grain, then you make kacuri, puri, samosa. Then sufficient foodstuff, nice, palatable, nutritious. First necessity is ahara. You get sufficient ahara. Then make little cottage for shelter. Just like there is rainfall. Now you require little... (thunder sounds) Ahara, nidra, bhaya, and sex. So marry. Then the whole problem is solved. And then, rest time you save and advance in Krsna conscious... This is civilization. Why you create unnecessary necessities of life and become complicated and forget Krsna? What is this civilization? Rascal civilization. Instead of giving protection to the cows, you are cutting the throat. Is that civilization? So this is a civilization of duskrtina, means mischief monger. Therefore they must suffer, and suffering. And asuras are being created. And Krsna’s business is to kill the asuras. Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam. This is going on. This is material nature. Asuras are being created, and the whole plan is to kill them. So struggle for existence. The asuras, they want to live. Mahisasura he’s struggling with the weapons of Maya, Durga. He’ll be failure, but still--ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham--by false egotism he’s thinking, “I shall conquer over the material...“ That is scientist, so-called scientist. Asuras are... They are planning that “We shall do without nature’s control.“ That is mudha. Daivi hy esa gunamayi mama maya dura... They cannot conquer it. That is not possible. But you are struggling. You do not want the control of nature. And nature is so strong... Now it is raining. Within one hour they can vanquish the whole world. Doesn’t take time. If there is one cyclone and heavy rain, then you are put into danger. So long it is mild, it is all right. And as soon as becomes ferocious, then finish you. What you’ll control the nature? When there is no rain, you cannot bring in rain; and when there is heavy rain, you cannot stop it. Then where is your control? You rascal, you think like that, “We shall control over nature.“ This is your rascaldom. You cannot control over. So everything has its use, and how to use it properly, that is all described in the Bhagavad-gita. And if you take instruction of Krsna and ultimately surrender to Him, that is success of life. Otherwise, struggle for existence, survival of the fittest... Nature is fittest. You’ll die; nature will be... You are not fit to fight with the nature. That is asura temperament. And that will never be successful. So many asuras came. Formerly there was Hiranyakasipu, Ravana, Kamsa and others. In the recent years there was Hitler, there was Churchill, there was Lenin, and Gandhi and so on, so on. For few days. Then gone: “Get out. Bas. Finished.“ Big, big scientists, big, big asuras, big, big leaders, what they could do? Tribhir gunamayair bhavaih. Where is Bhagavad-gita? Read from the... Tribhir gunamayaih. Conversations
