Prabhupada, New York, December 16, 1966: […] I come here for a short duration of life. Say, I am born a hundred years before or fifty years before, and I live here for fifty years and then go away, but I claim, “This is my property”. Wherefrom your property comes? Before your birth the property was there, and after your death the property will remain there for thousand and millions of years.
Wherefrom you claim your property? You have no property. You are simply an outcomer, a guest. So you should accept that this is Krishna’s property; this is God’s property. You are falsely claiming that it is your property. It is not your property. So when Krishna asks you that, “Give Me in charity”, so that — you are foolishly thinking that it is your money — Krishna is just trying to take your money so that your false consciousness may be dispelled. Therefore He is…just like there is a nice story, Bali Maharaja.
Bali Maharaja, he became a very strong king, and he… Nowadays, as in the modern age, we find a strong government or a strong king, he simply tries to conquer other countries. Formerly they were able to conquer other planets also. They were so powerful.
So this Bali Maharaja became so powerful that he conquered many of the higher planets of the demigods, so he became a disturbing element. So God, as incarnation of Vamanadeva, He… Bali Maharaja was also a grandson of a great devotee, Prahlada Maharaja. He had that blood of devotional blood. He had some devotion to Lord Krishna also. But at the same time he was king. He was conquering life. He was making disturbance like that.
So all the demigods prayed to Krishna to settle up this thing. So Krishna as Vamanavatara, incarnation of Vamana… Dwarf. Vamana means dwarf. He went to Bali Maharaja, and He was brahmana. So as a brahmana boy, so He asked some charity because the ksatriyas, the kings, are meant for give in charity. So he was very much pleased to see that beautiful dwarf boy: “Yes, what do You want? I will give You charity.” Full Lecture
