As much as my this body is created by the father and mother, similarly, I also create. That creative energy is there in me because I am part and parcel of God. So God creates, I also create. That creative energy is within me, but a very minute quantity.
That creation is nothing in comparison with God's creation. God has created this whole universe, and what you can create? You can create, utmost, a city like New York. That's all. You can create. That's all right. In that sense you are god also. Part and parcel of God is also god, but small god. Just like your earring, that is gold. So that gold is not equal to the gold mine. That gold mine is different.
Therefore the philosophy is "simultaneously one and different." We are, every one of us, we are simultaneously one with God and different from God. One in quality. The quality of God is also in me. I am of the same quality.
Just like a drop of sea water and the vast water, ocean. The quality, analytical, chemical composition, is the same, but the quantity of component parts are different. This is called acintya-bhedābheda-tattva: "inconceivably, simultaneously one and different."
The Māyāvāda philosophy, they say that, "We are God. Everyone is God." But we say that, "Yes, everyone is God, but not that God, the Supreme God." Everyone is American, but not that American like President Nixon.
