Prabhupada, April 23, 1975, Vrndavana: Although there is full arrangement for producing food, and because we are rogues and demons, nature will restrict supply. But this machine will be stopped as soon as the increase of population of rogues and demons. The machine is there already. Mudha nabhijanati mam ebhyah param avyayam. The background is Krishna. Mayadhyaksena [Bg. 9.10], under His order. He says, “Don’t supply here.” Mayadhyaksena. The supply is stopped. That they do not know. They are making scientific research. What scientific research? Bring water. There is so much water. Bring that water, distill it and throw. Are you such great scientist? And by God’s arrangement the sun is there, evaporates the water from the sea, and it becomes purified without any salt, and it is extravagantly thrown on the land. And the same water again flowing down through the river in the sea, the water is reserved. Nothing is lost.
Brahmananda: The scientists have been able to artificially take the salt out of the ocean water to make it fresh for irrigation, but it is very, very costly. It requires a great deal of energy.
Prabhupada: That is their defect. They theorize, but when it is practically going to be done, “No money. Get taxes.” They will levy tax, and the tax will be divided amongst themselves, that’s all.
