the material energy of Godhead. Of course, man as a manufacturer can be rewarded by the Supreme Personality of Godhead; however, neither the builder of a skyscraper, a flying or rolling machine, or various objects, nor the worker or other stakeholders can claim ownership. Certainly, buildings and various machines belong to the person who financed their construction, but it is God who created water, earth, fire, air, and ether, which man can use and receive compensation for. However, He cannot claim ownership of anything.
An honest person uses nothing for personal gain, nor does he monopolize anyone's temporary possessions, but offers everything he does and undertakes, all the fruits of his actions, to Lord Krishna; such is the perfection of existence. We must not strive to acquire more than we need.
We can claim ownership of the goods necessary for bodily needs, but whoever wants to possess more than that must be considered a thief and deserves to be punished by the laws of nature.
Anyone who encroaches on another's share is a thief. We should never accept more than we truly need.
When money comes to us in abundance through destiny, we should always consider it as belonging to Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Anyone who thinks that any part of the earth, or even our galaxy or this vast material cosmos, belongs to him must be considered a thief and punished by the laws of nature.
Indeed, no one can escape the vigilance of material nature, nor even hide his intentions from it. If humans illegitimately claim that this universe, or any part of it, belongs to him, all of humanity will be condemned and punished by the laws of nature as a society of thieves.
Original sin is the sin committed by spiritual beings while still in the spiritual world, by which they disobeyed God.
Disobedience to God includes refusing to serve Him, to recognize His supremacy, His authority, and all that exists as His exclusive property.
Furthermore, they began to envy God, thus seeking to usurp His supreme position, and to believe themselves to be the Sovereign Being Himself. It was for them that Lord Krishna, in His kindness, created the material universe after expelling them from the spiritual world.
