Srila Prabhupada, June 24, 1976, New Vrindaban: Just see minute fibers on the flower. Can anyone manufacture this? So small fibers. And how brilliant it is. If you study only one flower, you become God conscious. There is a machine which we call nature. From that machine, everything is coming. But how machine is perfect? And who has discovered this machine?
Kulasekhara: In London you said they do not know that the butterflies and flowers are painted, but Krishna paints them with thought.
Prabhupada: Yes. How you can expect without painting it has come so beautiful? This is foolishness, “nature”—what is this nature? Everything is being done by the machine of Krishna. Parasya saktir vividaiva sruyate. Anyway, improve this mode of life. Live in open place, produce your food grains, produce your milk, save time, chant Hare Krishna. Plain living, high thinking, ideal life. Artificial necessities of life do increase your so-called comforts, but if you forget your real business, that is suicidal. We want to stop this suicidal policy. We don’t want to stop the modern advancement of technology, although the so-called advancement technology is suicidal. But we don’t talk of this. Caitanya Mahaprabhu has therefore given a simple formula—chant Hare Krishna. Even in your technological factories, you can chant. What is the wrong there? You go on pulling on with your machine and chant, Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna. Full Conversation
