Acting in Knowledge of Krsna 73

your body—the stomach is the enjoyer. There is a central
enjoyer. And the stomach is the friend also. Because if you
cannot digest food, you see, then all other limbs of the body
become weak. Therefore the stomach is the friend. It is
digesting and distributing the energy to all the limbs of the
body. Is it not?

BOB: It is so.

SRILA PRABHUPADA: Similarly, the central stomach of the
whole creation is God, or Krsna. He is the enjoyer, He is the
friend, and, as the supreme proprietor, He is maintaining
everyone. Just as a king can maintain the whole country’s
citizens because he is the proprietor. Without being the
proprietor, how can one become everyone’s friend? So these
things have to be understood. Krsna is the enjoyer, Krsna is
the proprietor, and Krsna is the friend. If you know these
three things, then your knowledge is full; you do not re-
quire to understand anything more.

If you simply understand Krsna by these three formulas,
then your knowledge is complete. You don’t require any
more knowledge. But people will not agree. “Why should
Krsna be the proprietor? Hitler should be the proprietor.
Nixon . . .” That is going on. Therefore you are in trou-
ble. But if you understand these three things only, then
your knowledge is complete. But you will not accept—you
will put forward so many impediments to understanding
these three things, and that is the cause of our trouble. But
in the Bhagavad-gita it is plainly said:

bhoktararhn yajfia-tapasam
sarva-loka-mahesvaram
