Text 10] The Manus, Administrators of the Universe

Supreme Personality of Godhead. The modern communistic theory, and also the idea of the United Nations, can be reformed—indeed, rectified—by the understanding that everything belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Especially nowadays, we are building skyscrapers and developing other material facilities. We should know, however, that the ingredients of the skyscrapers and machines cannot be manufactured by anyone but the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The whole world is nothing but a combination of the five material elements ( tejo-vāri-mṛdāṁ yathā vinimayaḥ ). A skyscraper is a transformation of earth, water and fire. Earth and water are combined and burnt into bricks by fire, and a
