Seek Kṛṣṇa’s Good Will Through Devotional Service

“By the transcendental desire of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, water has been sprinkled all over the tree, and thus there are innumerable fruits of love of Godhead.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 9.38, translation

What the purport teaches

  • God and His desires are unlimited; by His transcendental desire, the tree bears innumerable fruits of love of Godhead.
  • The purport teaches that the real scarcity is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. The production of fruits, grain and other foodstuffs depends upon the supreme will, not merely our own.
  • To solve all problems, one must seek the good will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious and worshiping Him regularly in devotional service.
