The whole material world is thriving on the delusion of becoming independent of the laws of nature.
Beginning from Ravana, who wanted to prepare a direct staircase to the planets of heaven, down to the present age, we are trying to overcome the laws of nature. We are trying now to approach distant planetary systems by electronic mechanical power. But the highest goal of human civilization is to work hard under the guidance of the Lord and become completely dependent on Him.
The greatest attainment of perfect civilization is to work with diligence but simultaneously depend completely on the Lord. The Pandavas were the ideal executors of this standard of civilization. Undoubtedly they were completely dependent on the good will of Lord Shri Krishna, but they were not idle parasites of the Lord. They were all highly qualified both by personal character and by physical activities. Still they always yearned for the mercy of the Lord because they knew that every living being is dependent on Him as conditioned by our constitutional position.
