Everything belongs to Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The Supreme Spiritual Being, Krishna, created this material world and animates it. Everything that exists, in the spiritual world as well as in the material cosmos, belongs to Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as the Supreme Being and Supreme Consciousness. Everything in this material cosmos, in each of the galaxies floating within it, and in the stars and planets that accompany them, belongs to Lord Krishna, and to Him alone.

Nothing belongs to the country or to individuals, for everything in the material universe is the property of Godhead.

It is through these various material bodies that God allows the incarnate soul to experience pleasures and pains according to its desires.

This is why each of us should accept only what has been allotted to us by the Lord, and should in no way desire to encroach on another's share. Everything belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and one should never usurp the temporary property allotted to others.

To manufacture various objects, man very often uses the basic ingredients provided by material nature, which he cannot create. In reality, the entire world is nothing but a combination of the five material elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Man can manufacture various objects, but not their basic ingredients, which come from
