| "If you actually want śānti, then you have to accept this formula of śānti as enunciated in the Bhagavad-gītā: that Kṛṣṇa, or God, is the enjoyer, only enjoyer. He is the complete whole. Just like this body is a complete whole: the limbs are part and parcel of the body, but the real enjoyer of this body is the stomach. The leg is moving, the hand is working, the eyes are seeing, the ears are hearing. They are all engaged in the service of the whole body. But when there is the question of eating or enjoying, neither the fingers nor the ears nor the eyes but only the stomach is the enjoyer. And if you supply foodstuff in the stomach, automatically the eyes, the ears, the fingers—any, any part of the body—will become satisfied."
