SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 9 Text 8

prakrtim svam avastabhya
visrjami punah punah
bhuta-gramam imam krtsnam
avasam prakrter vasat

prakrtim--the material nature; svam--of My personal Self; avastabhya--entering into; visrjami--I create; punah punah--again and again; bhuta-gramam--all the cosmic manifestations; imam--these; krtsnam--in total; avasam--automatically; prakrteh--of the force of nature; vasat--under obligation.

TRANSLATION

The whole cosmic order is under Me. Under My will it is automatically manifested again and again, and under My will it is annihilated at the end.

JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport; The creation takes place to accommodate the inclinations of the various living entities, and so the Lord does not become involved with it.

And here we are. The inmates are running the asylum. Now we know why things seem so screwed up here. Thank God for Srila Prabhupada's books that show us the way out, the way back home to Krishna.
