xiv The Nectar of Devotion

is certainly present in the human beings. The missing point, however,
is where to repose our love so that everyone can become happy. At
the present moment the human society teaches one to love his
country or family or his personal self, but there is no information
where to repose the loving propensity so that everyone can become
happy. That missing point is Krsna, and The Nectar of Devotion
teaches us how to stimulate our original love for Krsna and how to

immediately and simultaneously love every living being. It is like
pouring water on the root of a tree or supplying food to one’s
stomach. The method of pouring water on the root of a tree or
supplying foodstuffs to the stomach is universally scientific and
practical, as every one of us has experienced. Everyone knows well
that when we eat something, or in other words when we put
foodstuffs in the stomach, the energy created by such action is
immediately distributed throughout the whole body. Similarly, when
we pour water on the root, the energy thus created is immediately
