recommend to offer sacrifices aimed at pleasing these celestial beings, so that they willingly provide the air, light and water necessary for the production of man's food.

Now, when one worships Krishna, the Supreme Lord, the heavenly beings who are members of the body of the Lord, thus receive our veneration; it is therefore no longer necessary to render them an individual worship. Thus, devotees of the Lord, those who follow the path of God consciousness, eat only food offered to Krishna. By doing so, it is spiritually that they nourish their body. Not only are all the consequences of their wrongdoing wiped out, but their bodies become immune to any form of material contamination. In an epidemic, people are vaccinated to make them immune to the microbe; thus, when one takes food first offered to the Lord, to Visnu, the full emanation of Krishna, one can resist all attacks of material energy. One calls devotee of the Lord, or wise, one who always acts thus. In this way, the God-conscious man, who eats only the food offered to Krishna, can erase all the consequences of his bad relationship with matter and release access to the path of spiritual realization.

On the other hand, those who do not continue to increase the volume of their sinful acts, and thus prepare another body, like that of a dog or a pig, where they will have to suffer the consequences of their sins. Material energy is the source of all contamination, but the person who is immunized by the food offered to Visnu escapes its attacks, everyone else is a victim, without recourse. Various plant foods, cereals, fruits, vegetables…, constitute the food of man, but the animal eats in addition to the waste of these foods, grass and certain plants. Humans, who eat animal flesh, therefore also depend on the production of plant foods. That is why we must learn to live more from the products of the land than from those of our factories. The earth, in order to produce, needs rains, which are under the control of Indra, and also of the Moon, the Sun, etc., which are all servants of the Lord; we must therefore please the Lord by offering him sacrifices, so as not to encounter famine. This is the natural law. This is why we have to make sacrifices, and more particularly to hum the song of the Holy Names of Krishna, recommended for the present age, if only to protect us against a lack of food.

The Lord said: “Under the influence of the three gunas (the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance), the soul misled by the false ego believes to be the author of its acts, when in reality they are performed by nature.”

Two people, one aware of Krishna, God, and the other not, may appear to act on the same level, but the difference is immeasurable. The materialist remains convinced, under the influence of the false ego (identification with the body, believing himself to
