710 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 18
believe in this spiritual method of producing grains, but whether they
believe or not, the fact remains that we are not independent to produce
grain by mechanical means. As far as the approved method is concerned,
it is enjoined in the sdstras that intelligent men in this age will take to the
sankirtana movement, and by so doing they shall worship the Supreme
Personality of Godhead Lord Caitanya, whose bodily complexion is golden,
and who is always accompanied by His confidential devotees to preach
this Krgna consciousness movement all over the world. In its present
condition, the world can only be saved by introducing this sartkirtana, this
Krsna consciousness movement. As we have learned from the previous
verse, one who is not in Krsna consciousness is considered a thief. Even
though he may be very materially advanced, a thief cannot be placed in a
comfortable position. A thief is a thief, and he is punishable. Because
people are without Krgna consciousness, they have become thieves, and
consequently they are being punished by the laws of material nature. No
one can check this, not even by introducing so many relief funds and
humanitarian institutions. Unless the people of the world take to Krsna
consciousness, there will be a scarcity of food and much suffering.
