edge or creative faculties comes from Him. Furthermore, the ingredients
to manufacture wonderful machines like airplanes are also supplied by
the Lord, not by the scientists. Before the airplane was created, its ingre-
dients already existed, having been caused by the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, but when the manifested creation of the airplane is ruined, the
remaining debris is a problem for the so-called creators. Another exam-
ple is that the West is creating many automobiles. The ingredients for
these cars are supplied, of course, by the Supreme Lord, and the intelli-
gence for the so-called creation is also supplied by the Lord. Ultimately,
when the cars are demolished, the so-called creators are faced with the
problem of what to do with their ingredients. The actual creator, the
original creator, is the Personality of Godhead. Only in the interim does
someone create something with intelligence supplied by the Lord, and
later the creation again becomes a problem. Therefore the so-called
creator is not to be credited with the act of creation; the only credit goes
to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is rightly stated herein that
the credit for all the opulences of creation, maintenance and annihilation
belongs to the Supreme Lord, not to the living entities.
