Naturally, politics, economics, science, art, philosophy, everything is included. And that is the perfection of all other subject matter. Everything has got an objective. So any of these departmental knowledge, namely politics, economics, art, science, philosophy, religion, art, science, philosophy, religion, everything should be aimed to achieve this end, God realization.</p>
<p>Reporter: But, thank you. But, uh, so, in this way, you have to, in all of the science, you mean, economic, politic, etc., you have to take position, sometimes perhaps. For instance, for going to the knowing of Kṛṣṇa in politics perhaps you will choose one system or the other. And in science, in philosophy, etc. Do you... But this, those choose have never been explained to the people, you know.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, it should be.</p>
<p>Reporter: It should be. Have you...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, we, we, we have explained it in our book, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, wherever possibility. Find out that verse: kāmam, kāmaṁ vavarṣa parjanyaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.10.4|SB 1.10.4]]). Find out this verse.</p>
<p>Śrutakīrti: It's in First Canto?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Kāmaṁ vavarṣa parjanyaḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 1.10.4|SB 1.10.4]]). You can...</p>
<p>Śrutakīrti: Kāmaṁ vavarṣa parjanyaḥ?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh.</p>
<p>Yogeśvara: (in French:) He's looking for a specific reference in that book which explains the beginning of our political program.</p>
<p>Śrutakīrti:</p>
:kāmaṁ vavarṣa parjanyaḥ
:sarva kāma dughā mahī
:siṣicuḥ sma vrajān gāvaḥ
:payasodhasvatīr mudā

<p>"During the reign of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, the clouds showered all the water that people needed, and the earth produced all the necessities of man in profusion. Due to its fatty milk bag and cheerful attitude, the cow used to moisten the grazing ground with milk."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Now here is economics, politics and everything. So by Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement we want to see that everyone is getting nicely the necessities of life. That is economic. Is it not?</p>
<p>Reporter: It is economic in a very, in a very...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Brotherhood. Actually, we develop economics for getting the necessities of life. Is it not? That is economics.</p>
<p>Reporter: Yeah. But the point is that these necessities of life is a frontier, you know, (indistinct) which is always farther, and farther and farther, always more pushed, pushed away, pushed away by new things. So...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no. That is artificial. That is artificial. We are not concerned with artificial things. Just like you require to eat. Now artificially you can increase so many things for eating purposes. But you must eat. That is the economic question. It is not that you should starve. It is not our proposal that you become Kṛṣṇa conscious by starving. No. You must have sufficient necessities of life.</p>
<p>Reporter: All right. So... The purpose for economic plan of all the planet, for the world would be everybody can eat, and I suppose just, just eating and some clothes and some roof to be, if you are in a cold country...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Eating, sleeping... Sleeping requires roof, apartment. So it includes your housing, your eating, your sex urge, and your defence. Everything should be nicely... So arrangement should be made that people are not harassed for these necessities of life.</p>
