I think in Sydney. Some boy, present, he was . . . "We have to supply food to the hungry who are dying without food, in starvation." Then when I asked him, "How many men you have seen dying out of starvation?" he could not reply. He said: "No. I have not seen." Still, these are pleas that, "People are dying of starvation, people are dying naked.".

In India they have taken this point very seriously that, "India is now poverty-stricken. There is no question of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Europeans and Americans, they are now comfortable, so they can take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness." When I go to India, sometimes they speak like that, that "India does not require Kṛṣṇa consciousness," because they are in a very awkward position so far economic condition is there. But that is not the actual fact.

The other day, where? I think in Sydney. Some boy, present, he was . . . "We have to supply food to the hungry who are dying without food, in starvation." Then when I asked him, "How many men you have seen dying out of starvation?" he could not reply. He said: "No. I have not seen." Still, these are pleas that, "People are dying of starvation, people are dying naked." As soon as I ask: "How many people you have seen dying of starvation and naked?" the reply is "No. I have not seen."

Actually, nobody is dying out of starvation, nobody, not even an animal, not even a bird dying of starvation, not a beast. God is supplying everyone's food. Eko bahūnāṁ vidadhāti kāmān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). He is supplying food to the elephant. In Africa there are millions of elephants. They take food, at a time, forty kilos. But they are also being supplied with food. But who is supplying food? We have not arranged food for the elephants, or we have not arranged any food for the ant within our room, but they are being fed by the laws of nature, by God's arrangement. So that is not question. This is our false, I mean to say, idea that, "We shall die out of starvation if we do not make economic condition better." You do it, but you must know that food is already there.
