PURPORT

Nature already has an arrangement to feed us. By the order of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, there is an arrangement for eatables
for every living entity within the 8,400,000 forms of life. Eko bahiinam
yo vidadhati kaman. Every living entity has to eat something, and in fact
the necessities for his life have already been provided by the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. The Lord has provided food for both the
elephant and the ant. All living beings are living at the cost of the
Supreme Lord, and therefore one who is intelligent should not work very
hard for material comforts. Rather, one should save his energy for ad-
vancing in Krsna consciousness. All created things in the sky, in the air,
on land and in the sea belong to the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
and every living being is provided with food. Therefore one should not
be very much anxious about economic development and unnecessarily
waste time and energy with the risk of falling down in the cycle of birth
and death.
