20 Elevation to &qa Consciousnessdictation of illusory nature. Indeed, that is the lawof nature; if money is not devoted to the service ofthe Lord, it must be spent as spoiled energy in theform of legal problems or diseases. Foolish people donot have the eyes to see such facts; therefore thelaws of the Supreme Lord befool them.The laws of nature do not allow us to acceptmore money than is required for proper maintenance.There is ample arrangement by the law ofnature to provide every living being with his dueshare of food and shelter, but the insatiable lusts ofhuman beings have disturbed the arrangement setforth by the Almighty Father of all species of life.By the arrangement of the Supreme Lord, there isan ocean of salt because salt is so necessary for theliving being. God has, in the same manner, arrangedfor sufficient air and light, which are also essential.Anyone can collect any amount of salt from thenatural storehouse, but constitutionally we cannottake more salt than what we need. If we take moresalt, we spoil the broth, and if we take less salt ourfood becomes tasteless. On the other hand, if wetake only what we require, our food is tasty and weare healthy. Presently there is a great deal of concernover the fact that our natural resources are becomingpolluted and exhausted. Actually there is amplesupply, but due to misuse and greed everything isbeing spoiled. What conservationists and ecologistsdo not understand is that everything will continueto be spoiled by the insatiable lusts of mankind unlessthis Krqa consciousness process is taken up. Itis impossible to have peace on any platform of existencewithout Krl).a consciousness.
