TRANSLATION

“By the transcendental desire of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, water has
been sprinkled all over the tree, and thus there are innumerable fruits of love of
Godhead.

PURPORT

God is unlimited, and His desires are also unlimited. This example of unlimited
fruits is factually appropriate even within the material context, for with the good
will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead there can be enough fruits, grains and
other foodstuffs produced so that all the people in the world could not finish them,
even if they ate ten times their capacity. In this material world there is actually no
scarcity of anything but Krsna consciousness. If people become Krsna conscious,
by the transcendental will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead there will be
enough foodstuffs produced so that people will have no economic problems at all.
One can very easily understand this fact. The production of fruits and flowers de-
pends not upon our will but the supreme will of the Personality of Godhead. If He
is pleased, He can supply enough fruits, flowers, etc., but if people are atheistic and
godless, nature, by His will, restricts the supply of food. For example, in several
provinces in India, especially Maharastra, Uttara Pradesh and other adjoining states,
there is sometimes a great scarcity of foodstuffs due to lack of rainfall. So-called
scientists and economists cannot do anything about this. Therefore, to solve all
problems, one must seek the good will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead by
becoming Krsna conscious and worshiping Him regularly in devotional service.
