All these elements together lead to Krishna consciousness or God consciousness, which alone offers an answer to the basic needs of the present society.

Satisfied by these sacrifices, the heavenly beings do not fail to provide for all the needs of man. But whoever enjoys their gifts without offering anything in return is a thief.

This is why Jesus said to this effect: The angels will come to you with the prophets, and they will give you what is due you. Give them what you have in your hands, and say to yourselves: When will they come to receive what is theirs?

The celestial beings are agents of Lord Krishna or Visnu, responsible for providing all living beings, human, animal and vegetable, with what they need. Therefore, one should make them favourable to oneself by performing the sacrifices recommended in the holy scriptures.

The celestial beings are entrusted by Lord Krishna or Visnu, to look after the interests and smooth functioning of the material galaxy. This is so for all the galaxies.

We must bear in mind that it is the celestial beings, agents of the Lord, who provide for the vital needs of living beings, human beings, land and water animals and plants. No one is able to create what he needs.

The food of man influenced by virtue; cereals, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, sugar… or that of man influenced by passion and ignorance; meat, fish, eggs…, cannot be created by them, any more than heat, light, water or air, so indispensable.

Without the Supreme Lord, there would be no sunlight, no moonlight, no rain, no wind…, and no one could live. Obviously, our life depends entirely on the generosity of the Lord. Even the many raw materials required in our factories (metal, sulphur, mercury, manganese and so many others), are provided to us by the agents of the Lord, so that we may make a wholesome use of them, to give society favourable conditions for spiritual realization, which will lead us to the ultimate goal of existence, liberation from matter. This goal can be achieved through the performance of sacrifices.

But if we forget the purpose of human life, and use the benefits dispensed by the agents of the Lord for the sole pleasure of our senses, thus getting more and more bogged down in material existence, which is not the purpose of creation, we become “thieves”, and must be punished by the natural laws.

A society of “thieves” can never find its equilibrium, because it forgets the real goal, the ultimate destination. It ignores sacrifices and seeks only more material enjoyment. However, the Lord in the form of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Golden Avatar, has introduced into the world the easiest sacrifice, “the glorification of Lord Krishna by chanting His Holy Names, Haré Krishna”, while respecting and applying the regulative principles of Krishna consciousness.
