Nitāi: (leads chanting of verse, etc.) (devotees repeat)

kṣetra-kṣetrajñayor evam
antaraṁ jñāna-cakṣuṣā
bhūta-prakṛti-mokṣaṁ ca
ye vidur yānti te param
(BG 13.35)

kṣetra—the body; kṣetra-jñayoḥ—of the proprietor of the body; eva—thus; antaram—difference; jñāna-cakṣuṣ —by vision of knowledge; bhūta—living entity; prakṛti—material nature; mokṣam—liberation; ca—also; ye—one who; viduḥ—knows; yānti—approaches; te—they; param—Supreme

(break)

Translation: "One who knowingly sees this difference between the body and the owner of the body and can understand the process of liberation from this bondage also attains to the supreme goal."

Prabhupāda: In the beginning of this chapter, Arjuna inquired:

prakṛtiṁ puruṣaṁ caiva
kṣetraṁ kṣetra-jñam eva ca
etad veditum icchāmi
jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ ca keśava
(BG 13.1)

Yesterday evening, those gentlemen who came from Protestant Church?

Yogeśvara: Yes.

Prabhupāda: So they're talking about what is knowledge. Yes. This is very good question, "What is knowledge?" So Arjuna wanted to know this knowledge from Kṛṣṇa. Knowledge means to understand this body and the soul. Kṣetra kṣetra-jña. Kṣetra means this body, and kṣetra-jña means the owner of the body. Just like if you study your body . . . "What is this?" Just we ask any child. Sometimes we play with the child. We ask, "What is this?" He'll say: "My hand" or "My head." So even the child can say that the hand is different from him. We also say: "This is my hand," "This is my leg," "This is my head." We never say, "I head" or "I hand." No. "My hand." It is very simple thing.

So Kṛṣṇa, being asked by Arjuna, He's giving the knowledge that this body is called kṣetra. Kṣetra means field of activities. Just like in agricultural land, you get a piece of land, and you produce your own food grain, or as you like. The government gives you a piece of land, and you have to pay a little tax, and you can grow your food grains as you like. Similarly, as we wanted, Kṛṣṇa has given us this body. Now we can work with this body as we like. If you want, you can utilize this body for higher elevation, or you can utilize this body for your nonsense purpose and go to hell. That is your choice.

Just like somebody is using this body, undergoing austerities, penance, according to the spiritual, regulative life, and one man is using this body only for sense gratification, drinking and sex. So it is my choice, to utilize this body as I like, and I also reap the result. The same example: You are given a field, a piece of land. You can grow twice, thrice in a year very nice foodstuff, sometimes pulses, sometimes paddy, sometimes the mustard seed. Any land . . . in India, we have seen that a cultivator produces three, four kind of food grains in a year. That is the system. (aside) Not this . . . that is the system, that in India every man is producing his food grains independently. Now it is stopped. Formerly, all these men, they used to produce their food grain. So they used to work for three months in a year, and they could stock the whole year's eatable food grains. Life was very simple. After all, you require to eat. So this Vedic civilization was that keep some land and keep some cows. Then your whole economic question is solved.

Now, in this country, Geneva, I heard there is actually, I am tasting the milk, first-class milk. I think the world's best milk. Unless one has got his own cows, one cannot get such nice milk. But I hear also that because there is excess production of milk, they have decided to kill twenty thousand cows.

Devotee: Last year, they decided to do it, but apparently they didn't do it. They wanted to do it.

Prabhupāda: Just see how much foolish proposal it is. So for want of God consciousness, this mischievous intelligence can be found. The whole economic question can be solved. If you have got excess, then you can trade, you can send to some place where there is scarcity. But every man should produce his own food. That is Vedic culture. You get a piece of land and produce your family's foodstuff. But they are . . . what they are doing? In Australia, in Africa, they have got enough land, but the government . . . maybe they have no sufficient men to utilize the land, but they won't allow any outsider to go there who can produce. I have seen in Africa, very, very large tract of land was lying vacant, nobody is producing any food. They are producing coffee. That is not the local men. The Britishers who have gone there. They are producing coffee, tea, and keeping some cows for slaughtering. This is going on. In Australia, also, I have seen.

Even some priestly class. They invited me, received me, received me very well. So one of the priests—he inquired that, "Why our Christian religion is dwindling? What we have done?" And actually, that's a fact. I have seen, in London at least, the churches are for sale. Nobody's going to the church. Some of the churches have been taken for making go-down, storehouse or some factory. Many hundreds of thousands. In London there are many churches. Churches are there in New York also, other places. Formerly, people were religious. It doesn't matter whether one construction . . . one construct temple or church. It doesn't matter. There was prayer to the Supreme. But now people are forgetting. I don't find many churches here in Geneva. They don't like to go to church here? Huh?

Guru-gaurāṅga: They say they do.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Guru-gaurāṅga: They say they do.

Prabhupāda: No, but don't find many churches here. So this is not very good sign. People should eat sumptuously; not overeating. Overeating is bad. Not undereating. Yuktāhāra-vihārasya yogo bhavati siddhaye (BG 6.17). Yuktāhāra, as much as you require, you must eat. Yajñārthe . . . annād bhavanti bhūtāni (BG 3.14). Either human being or a animal, they must get sufficient food, and that means anna, food grains. So I have studied it very thoroughly. If people produce food grain in all the lands available all over the world, they can feed ten times population than it is at present. Kṛṣṇa has made such arrangement.

In the Īśopaniṣad it is said, pūrṇam idaṁ . . . pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate (Īśo, Invocation). In the creation of Kṛṣṇa, there cannot be any scarcity. Everything is sufficiently there. Pūrṇam: it is complete, perfectly made, either this planet, that planet. Everywhere the living entities are there, and Kṛṣṇa has made provision for every one of them. There is no question of scarcity. But people are not obeying the orders of Kṛṣṇa or the authorities that, "You produce . . ." Annād bhavanti bhūtāni (BG 3.14). Even in Bible it is said, "Thou shall not kill." They are not producing food grains, and they are killing the animals and eating.

How they will be happy? It is not possible. Most sinful activities. You produce your food. The bull will help you, and the cows will supply you milk. They are considered to be father and mother. Just like father earns money for feeding the children, similarly, the bulls help producing, plowing, producing food grain, and the cow gives milk, mother. And what is this civilization, killing father and mother? This is not good civilization. It will not stay. There will be catastrophe waiting. Many times it has happened, and it will happen, because transgressing the law of nature, or laws of God, is most sinful. That is sinful. Just like you become criminal by transgressing the law of state, similarly, when you transgress the law of God, then you are sinful. So this example is given: idaṁ śarīraṁ kṣetram. That means to own a certain piece of land is the basic civilization. Everyone must have a portion of land to produce his food. There will be no economic problem.

And we have seen even in our childhood that poor men, the laborer class, servant, they came from village in the town. We were residents of town, Calcutta, The servants' class, they would come . . . everywhere, not in Calcutta, everywhere. The villagers would come, and the small salary. Even in our young days, we were paying salaries to the servants, twelve rupees, fourteen rupees, without any food. And still they would save at least ten to twelve rupees out of that. And this money, the servant would send to his wife at home, and as soon as there is two hundred rupees, he'll purchase a piece of land. And in this way, when he has got sufficient land for producing food for the whole family, then he would no more come to city for working. We have seen it.

That means as soon as one has a land sufficient to produce, he is safe. His food problem—that is the real problem—is solved. So people are not being trained up to . . . in America, I have seen. Now the farmers, the father is working on the farm, and the sons, they do not come. They live in the city. This is the tendency all over the world. They are not producing food grain. Therefore there is scarcity. There is scarcity of . . . especially in a country like India, where the population is very big and there is no land available, there must be scarcity of food. Especially the Britishers, they have divided India: Pakistan and Hindustan. So all the food grains are there on the Pakistan side, and in the Hindustan side all the industries are there. So they are fighting. They have no industrial facilities, and they have no agricultural facilities. All policies. They would fight all along. The Britishers wanted that, "You have taken your independence. All right, you'll suffer all the time, fighting between your . . ." This was a policy. So it is going on nicely.

So anyway, the whole world situation is degrading, that people are not producing their own food. This is the problem, real problem. Kṣetra-kṣetra-jña, this example is given. As every man must possess a piece of land . . . therefore this . . . because it is very common thing, this example has been given, kṣetra-kṣetra-jña. So as we till our land and gets foodstuff according to my labor, according to my intelligence . . . food grains I can produce once twice, thrice, if I work hard. Generally, they work two times: three months, three months. And those who are very lazy, they work three months. But even working for three months, they can acquire foodstuff for the whole year. That I have seen.

So similarly, as we get some land and work for ourself, similarly, this body is also like that land. And I am . . . this "I," the soul, I can reap good result or bad result as I work with this body. This is very similar. This is the knowledge. Kṛṣṇa says, idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya kṣetram (BG 13.2). Kṛṣṇa does not say that "Arjuna, you are this body." That is the beginning of Bhagavad-gītā. Dehino 'smin yathā dehe (BG 2.13). Within this body, the owner of the body is there. This is the beginning of knowledge. So this knowledge is lacking. Nobody knows that "I am within this body." Everyone is thinking, "I am this body." "I am American," "I am Indian," "I am Czechoslovakian," or "I am Swiss," and . . . everyone is thinking. That means they have no knowledge. All fools and rascals.

So the all fools and rascals civilization, how we can be happy? There must be intelligence. They have no intelligence. They are thinking of philanthropic work, but still thinking that "I am this body." So what that philanthropic work will do? We . . . with ignorance, with no knowledge, whatever you do, it is foolish. As there are . . . sometimes they divide, four classes of men: lazy intelligent, active intelligent, and lazy fool and active fool. The active fool is fourth class because whatever he'll do, it is foolish. So result will not be very good. Active fool. So lazy fool is better than the active fool. Just like the monkey, it is active fool. In your country, in the Western country, you don't see many monkeys. But in India, there are many monkeys. As soon as a monkey will come, he will create some mischief. He's very busy, jumping here, there, here, here, there, but always creating mischief. So modern civilization . . . and the Darwin's theory is that they have come from monkey. (laughter) So they are also doing like that, jumping like monkey, this way, that way, this way, that way, but always creating mischief.

So this is very good example, that idaṁ śarīraṁ kṣetram. He has given . . . God has given you a piece of land, this body. Now you work. You make your future with this body. karmaṇā . . . because the body is produced according to my karma. Otherwise, why there are so many varieties of body? We are all human being. Everyone, we are, we possess two hands, two legs. Still, the bodies are different. We don't find anybody's body is exactly equal to the other. No. Because we have got different mentality. Every one of us, we are individual soul; we have got different mentality, different propensities, different ideas. So in this way we have got different bodies. This is the science. Science, they are searching out so many things, but they do . . . why they cannot explain that why there are varieties of body? Why not exactly one human being exactly of the same feature, same . . .? Just like we do some . . . in mold the, all the dolls come out of the same body. It is not like that. For each and every living entity, Kṛṣṇa has to prepare a different type of body. Therefore we have got different types of body according to karma.

So this is knowledge that, "I have got this body as field." As one gets the land for cultivating his food grains according to his labor, according to his choice, similarly, we have got this field of activity. Now we can make our future good or bad according to our choice. Idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya kṣetram iti abhidhīyate. This is called kṣetra, working land. Just like father gives some capital to the son: "You do some business." Now, you lose the money or increase it hundred times, that depends on you. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa has given us. We wanted to enjoy this material world, and Kṛṣṇa has given us. The first beginning body is Brahmā, very exalted body. But on account of our abominable activities, from Brahmā, we come down to become the worm of stool. This is called karma, kṣetra.

There are 8,400,000 species of life, and according to our work we get some body, some type of body. And if we work in the modes of goodness, then we get still better body in higher planetary system—long duration of life, better standard of living condition, more and more, thousand times thousand times. Whatever comforts and facilities we have got here on this planet, if we work in the modes of goodness, then we get more and more facilities. Similarly, if we work just like animals, then you are degraded more and more downwards—Tala, Atala, Talātala, Pātāla, like that. There are planetary system, and similarly, there are higher planetary system. You can see every day. Each and every star means they are different planetary system. So according to your work, you are promoted or degraded or you keep here.

ūrdhvaṁ gacchanti sattva-sthā
madhye tiṣṭhanti rājasāḥ
jaghanya-guṇa-vṛtti-sthā
adho gacchanti tāmasāḥ
(BG 14.18)

It is up to you. In another place Kṛṣṇa says:

yānti deva-vratā devān
pitṟn yānti pitṛ-vratāḥ
bhūtejyā yānti bhūtāni
mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām
(BG 9.25)

The same thing. If you desire, you can promote yourself to the higher—that is within the material world—higher planetary system for better comfort of life, better, long duration of life. That you can go. Yānti deva-vratā devān.

Just like if you come to Europe. At least . . . of course, we are different men; we are preaching. But other Indians, they come, they come here by dressing like European, European coat, pant. So just we have to arrange for going to another country—passport, visa and dress and so many things—similarly, if you want to go to the planets of the demigods, you have to prepare yourself. Yānti deva-vratā devān. Deva-vratāḥ, they can go. Similarly, pitṛ-vratāḥ, they can go Pitṛloka. There are other planets. And bhūtejyāḥ, if you want to remain here, then you become nationalist and this, that, so many . . . "And if you like, you can go to Me also," mad-yājino 'pi yānti mām. Those who are trying to promote themselves in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, Kṛṣṇa says mad-yājinaḥ, "Those who are worshiping Me, they come to Me."

So now it is your choice. This body is given to you. Now you make your choice whether you want to have, in this material world, better facilities, better duration of life, or if you want to degrade yourself to the animal life, or if you want to go to Kṛṣṇaloka, everything, whatever you want, you can get. And this is the chance, this human form of body. You make your choice. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya kṣetram iti abhidhīyate. It is just like the land of cultivation. Now you cultivate.

idaṁ śarīraṁ kaunteya
kṣetram ity abhidhīyate
etad yo vetti taṁ prāhuḥ
kṣetra-jñaḥ iti tad-vidaḥ
(BG 13.2)

And . . . just like the land and the proprietor of land. The proprietor of the land knows that, "This is my land." It is not "I land." That is ignorance. So people are taking this, that "I am this body." That is ignorance. If they know, if one knows that, "I am not this body; I am proprietor of this body. I'll have to work with this body for my future," then that is knowledge. Etad yo vetti kṣetra-jña, knower, one who knows. That is the beginning of knowledge.

Then Kṛṣṇa says:

kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi
sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata
kṣetra-kṣetra-jñayor jñānaṁ
yat taj jñānaṁ mataṁ mama
(BG 13.3)

Kṛṣṇa is giving His opinion, the supreme authority that, "If you want to know, if you want to be in knowledge, this is knowledge." What is that? "That this body, you are not this body; you are the owner of the body. And you should know also that the . . . there is another person. As you are a person, you are owner of this body, there is another person." Who is that? "That is I am," Kṛṣṇa says. Kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi: "I am also owner of this body." Actually Kṛṣṇa is the owner of the body. Just like in a, in an apartment, there is the occupier and the landlord. So there are two men concerned. I do not know what is the system here. In India, there are two kinds of taxes: the occupier tax and the landlord's tax. Two kinds of taxes. So similarly, this body, I, the living entity, I am the occupier. I am not the owner. Although occupier is, to some extent, owner, but the real owner is the landlord.

Similarly, Kṛṣṇa is the real owner of this body because Kṛṣṇa has given me this body just to occupy it and work. So far. Not that I am the actual proprietor of this body. So when actually one comes to this knowledge that, "I am not this body"—this is one knowledge—and one comes to know also that, "I am also not proprietor, actual proprietor, of this body . . ." How can I be actual proprietor of this body? If you have got knowledge . . . because this body is made of material ingredients.

So what are these material ingredients? Earth, water, fire, air, ether—they are physical elements. They are Kṛṣṇa's energies. So this body is made by Kṛṣṇa's energy. And I, the person, I am also part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. We are two energies. I, as living entity, I am also the energy, superior energy. And this material body, that is also Kṛṣṇa's energy. I cannot prepare this body if I like. No. The body is made by Kṛṣṇa through the agency of this material energy, prakṛti. Prakṛti means the material energy. Kṛṣṇa will say that mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram (BG 9.10). This body is made by the material nature under the order of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is with you. Therefore He says, kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi (BG 13.3), that "I am also one of the occupier of this body." That is Paramātmā. So Kṛṣṇa is so kind that He is taking note of my all desires, and as I desire, Kṛṣṇa orders the material energy to prepare a suitable body for me, and I live there. This is knowledge.

This is knowledge, that within this body . . . in the Upaniṣads also it is explained that in this tree—this body is taken as tree—there are two birds sitting as friends: one, the living entity, and the other is the Supersoul, Paramātmā, ātmā and Paramātmā. So Kṛṣṇa is so kind that actually He's supplying my order. I want to eat like tiger. Kṛṣṇa is ordering material nature, "Well, he wants a tiger's body. Give him a tiger's body." I want to eat like hogs and dogs. Kṛṣṇa orders material . . . "Give him a body like a hog. He can eat very peacefully all kinds of stools." That's all. This is going on. This is going on. And if I want a body to serve Kṛṣṇa, He'll give us. Ye yathā mām . . . this is the meaning of ye yathā māṁ prapadyante (BG 4.11). "As you desire, I give you. If you want a body to serve Me, you'll get a Vaiṣṇava body, and you will be able to serve Kṛṣṇa." And if you want to serve cats and dogs, then you get a cat's and dog's body.

Kāraṇaṁ guṇa-saṅgo 'sya (BG 13.22). Guṇa means . . . according to the guṇa, you make your desire. That is contamination. And as there is contamination, as there is similar disease, similarly, as we desire similar body, we can get by the order of Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa gives order because we want it. Kṛṣṇa does not force you to enter into the dog's body or hog's body or demigod's body or human being's body, but as we create situation by desire, Kṛṣṇa gives us the facility to possess such body, and we work on, and we reap another result. This is called material existence.

Thank you very much.

Devotees: All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

(break)

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: . . . or more prominent. The people move to the cities and as a result of this push there are so many problems in the cities. So do you recommend in this plan to have land, that we shun technology?

Prabhupada: There is no need of technology. What is the use of technology? But even if you don't want, there will be cripples who are interested in technology. So, we do not waste our time, let them do that. We are concerned for Krishna consciousness. We should not waste our time for technology.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: In other words, are we simply trying to set an example . . .

Prabhupada: We cannot waste our time in any other way. Our only business is, how to advance in Krishna consciousness. That is our business.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: There was one politician I spoke to in India, in Jaipur. He is in charge of a political party. He said that 80% of the people in India live in the villages. And the program of this party was to increase the technology on the farms. And as a result of this so many people would be forced to leave the farms and not work on the farms and they would have so many problems already in the cities, this would increase the problems in the cities many, many times over. Increase the technology on the farms . . .?

Prabhupada: What is that technology?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Like tractors. Instead of people having to cut down the wheat they have machines to come along with this. Cut down the wheat. And instead of having bullocks to pull the plow, they have a tractor. To cut down the wheat. Would the people be forced into the cities?

Prabhupada: Of course, there are machine facilities, but, in India so many men are unemployed that to introduce machine there is not very good proposal. Instead of cutting with a machine, if they cut by hand, they get employment. Everyone is employed. Machine means 100 men's work done by one machine. But why there are so many unemployed? Why not engage 100 men instead of engaging one? Here also, there are so many unemployment in the Western countries. So in one sense, machine creates unemployment. Just like because in your Western countries . . . everything is on machine, therefore you are creating so many hippies. That is also another kind of unemployment, everyone should be employed. Otherwise, it will be devil's workshop. Idle brain is devil's workshop. So, when there are so many people without any engagement, why there should be machine? Machine is not good. One machine means to make another 100 men unemployed. So the policy should be—nobody should be unemployed. Everyone should be busy.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: On the other hand, someone may use the argument that the machine is freeing us from so many so called . . .

Prabhupada: Freeing from what, for drinking wine and making all nonsense policy. What is the meaning of this freedom?

If you are made free for cultivating Krishna consciousness that is another thing. Even coming to our Krishna consciousness camp, they are sleeping. This camp is not meant for eating and sleeping. But for cultivating Krishna. So anywhere, here and there, the policy should be, that everyone is employed. Everyone is busy. Then there will be nice civilization. If everyone is busy then he cannot cultivate something rascaldom. That is Vedic civilization. It is the duty of the king to see, that everyone is working. Either as a brāhmaṇa or kṣatriya, or vaiśya as a śūdra. Everyone is working. Then there is peace.

At the present moment we can see that on account of this machine there is unemployment and lazy fellow. What do you think—these hippies are lazy, that's all. They don't want to do anything. What do you think? You don't understand English?

Guest: . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupada: Hmm. So one side is laziness and one is unemployment. This is not a very good situation. Everyone should be employed. There is I think there is a verse in the Bhagavad-gītā. That to work even without any profit is better than no work. Bhagavad-gītā says . . .

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: (indistinct) . . . chapter.

Prabhupada: Heh?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Eightteenth chapter there is a verse like that.

Prabhupada: Find out this verse.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: That without work one cannot even maintain this body (break) . . . (indistinct) . . . even tough covered by smoke.

Prabhupada: Heh? Heh?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: Even tough ones activities in the material world are covered by faults still one should perform his activities.

Prabhupada: Yes. In India there is a Hindi proverb bekar. (break) Bekar means without employment. And begar means to work without salary. In India we have seen, many villagers come and they request one shopkeeper or any gentleman, please give me some work, I don't want salary. If you like you can give me to eat. Otherwise I don't want that also. Who is that gentlemen, if you work at my place, I won't give you to eat? You see (chuckles) So immediately he gets some occupation, simply on the basis of eating only. So he gets shelter. Then when he's working that man if he sees that he's working very nicely, alright you take some salary. So therefore they say: "Bekar se" without any employment it is better to work without salary or without any remuneration. This is very good principle. Nobody should be allowed to remain lazy without any work. That is a very dangerous position. So modern civilization on account of the machine there are so many unemployment and so many lazzies also. So it is not good. It is not freedom, it is rather freeway to hell, that's all. It is not freedom. Everyone should be engaged in work, according to his capacity. If you have got better intelligence you may be employed as brāhmaṇa. Do the work of brāhmaṇa, study śāstras and write books, give knowledge to others, teach others. That is brāhmaṇa's business. Paṭhan pāṭhan yajana yājana dāna pratigraha.

And you don't bother for your subsistence, the society will supply. Therefore, brāhmaṇa they did not work. They are busy with this study of Vedic literature, teaching others and giving knowledge. And society gives them—food. This is brāhmaṇa. And kṣatriya means to give protection. There will be danger, there will be attack, the kṣatriyas will protect.

And for that purpose the kṣatriya used to levy tax. So their business is to levy tax. Similarly less intelligent class, the mercantile community, they engage themselves producing food and giving protection to the cows. These things are required. And rest, śūdras, they help other three higher classes. This is natural division. And that is very good. That means everyone is employed. The intelligent class is employed, the martial class is employed, the mercantile class is employed, and the rest śūdra, they are also employed. So there is no, I mean to say, forming party, political party, and fighting, there was no such thing. The king was the supervisor to see that everyone is engaged and everyone is engaged actually in their respective duties, so they had no time to forms false political parties and make agitation and fight one another. There is no such chance. So the beginning is to understand that I am not this body. That is being stressed everywhere in the Bhagavad-gītā. Beginning from the 2nd chapter. Now we are reading 13th chapter. The same thing is being repeated in a different way. Hmm. (end)
