16. Power of Creating the Space of Enriching

When you take the responsibility to bring integrity and authenticity to your thinking and actions, the individual consciousness aligns and expands to affect the collective consciousness. So we can even influence the weather by our thoughts. This is what Kṛṣṇa means when He says that rains are caused by sacrifice—yajñād bhavati parjanyo and enriching sacrifice is born of actions—yajñaḥ karma-samudbhavaḥ (3.14). It is an ultimate statement that proves the power of enriching, the power of living.

When people collectively integrate their thoughts and align their actions to enrich others with full faith in the abundance of Universe, It responds. Rain falls, grains grow, and abundance results. The Universe is a huge wave of 'Tathāstu!—so be it!' Kṛṣṇa now refers to the endless cycle—that work originates with the Creator, who in turn originates from the Supreme Existence, and therefore all sacrifices are from the Supreme to the Supreme.
