“There is no Comparison with the Sunlight, Sun’s heat”

Prabhupada, Bombay, January 17, 1975: You may be engaged in any pattern of work, any department of work. But by dint of your work you establish the existence of God, Krishna, and whatever is being done, it is being done by the expert management of Krishna.
The sun is rising exactly in the time, and it is setting exactly in the time. And the temperature, according to the different season, the movement, uttarayana, daksinayana—everything is managed so expertly under the order of the Supreme. Mayadhyaksena prakrtih [Bg. 9.10] Don’t think the sun is working so nicely automatically.

No automatically. The master is there, Krishna. Yasyajnaya bhramati sambhrta-kala-cakrah. The sun is so powerful substance within this universe. There are many millions of suns. This is one sun only—but it is carrying out the order of Krishna. Yac- caksur esa savita sakala-grahanam raja samasta-sura-murtir asesa-tejah. Asesa-tejah, unlimited light, unlimited fire, unlimited heat. Asesa. Asesa-tejah. There is no comparison with the sunlight, sun’s heat. There is no comparison within this universe. Unlimited. For millions and millions of years it is, from the sun the light and heat is coming out, but there is no diminution. It is the same as it was millions of years ago, and after giving you light and heat for millions of years, the same quantity of light and heat is still there.

So if it is possible for a material thing that after giving unlimited heat and light it remains the same, similarly, the Supreme Lord, by expanding His potency, by His energy, He remains the same. He does not diminish. Purnasya purnam adaya purnam eva avasisyate. So if we can see even a material object that the heat being emanated for many millions and millions…, it remains the same heat, it maintains the same heat, same light, why it is not possible for the Supreme? Therefore Isopanisad informs us that purnasya purnam adaya purnam eva avasisyate. If you take the whole energy of Krishna from Krishna, then still, the whole energy is there.
So whole material world is nothing but tejo-vari-mrd-vinimayah, exchange of, elementary, this earth, water, and fire. The same principle here also: taste. Just like we cook the same oil, ghee, and salt and turmeric, but we prepare different preparations, hundred, two hundred preparation, simply by the process of mixing earth. So that is going on. Now, by Krishna’s energy… Parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate. His energy is working in such subtle way, mysterious way. Therefore Krishna is known as Yogesvara. The same earth, same water, but the seed different. So one tree is coming to produce chili, another tree is coming out to produce tomato, another tree is coming out to produce mango. Different taste. Mango is sweet, tomato is sour, chili is pungent. But these things are required, varieties. Although the source is one. Source is one—the earth—but the earth contains all other five elements. Ksitir ap tejo vari mrd vyoma. Everything is there in the earth. Everything is there, and by the expert handling of the prakrti and behind the prakrti, Krishna, varieties of things are coming. This is Krishna consciousness, how things are coming by the handling, expert handling of Krishna. Mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram [Bg. 9.10].
