Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
"This body I have been given by God to use it. Just like the farmer takes some land from the government and he tills over it and produces his foodstuff, grain. But he knows that 'Although I am occupier of this field, the real owner is the landlord'. Similarly, if we understand this fact, that God has given me this body to work according to my desire, but the body is not my property; it is the property of God, Kṛṣṇa—this is knowledge." |
