Lectures

Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Try to understand how this weaker section is serving this stronger section. That is the law of nature. Jīvo jīvasya jīvanam. One living entity is the food or . . . living means for another living entity, by nature's law. So the conclusion is that we must serve . . . must render service to the strong. This is nature's law.

Those who are two-legged, they are eating the four-legged. And the four-legged animals, they are eating who cannot walk. Apadānam catuṣ-padām. Those who cannot move—just like grass, plants, trees, they cannot move—they are being eaten up by the four-legged animals. And the four-legged animals are being by . . . eaten by the two-legged animals, human being. Just try to understand how this weaker section is serving this stronger section. That is the law of nature. Jīvo jīvasya jīvanam. One living entity is the food or . . . living means for another living entity, by nature's law. So the conclusion is that we must serve . . . must render service to the strong. This is nature's law.

Now that being position, we all living entities, we are weaker, and the strongest is the Supreme Lord; therefore our business is to render service to the Supreme Lord. We are rendering service to the stronger section, but the strongest of all stronger is the Supreme Lord. Therefore the conclusion is that our normal position is to render service to God. This is the conclusion. We cannot say that, "We don't care for God." That we cannot say. We are so dependent on God's mercy that we cannot say.
