During the last eight years, I have traveled all over the world, even interior. I have seen there is enough land, especially in Africa, in Australia, in America, and we can produce so much food grains that ten times of this present population can be easily maintained. Ten times. There is no scarcity of food. But the difficulty is that we have demarcated, “This is my land”. Somebody says, “This is America, my land”, “Australia, my land”, “The Africa, my land”, “India, my land”. This “my” and “I”. Janasya moho ’yam aham mameti [SB 5.5.8]. This is called illusion, that “I” and “my.” “I am this body, and this is my property.” This is called illusion.
