So we can interpret . . . when the Christian people say that . . . just like they say "only son." So we can interpret . . . of course, we are not going to interpret. We can take it that anyone who becomes confidential . . . just like father position. He has got many sons. One son who is very obedient, he says: "He is my only son, and others not sons." Does he not, father say, sometimes? "Actually he is my son." Sometimes father says like that. But that does not mean that he has got only one son. He has got many sons, but all of them are useless, worthless. He is only bona fide.
Similar statement is there by Tulasī dāsa. He says—Tulasī dāsa was some Hindi poet—that "The put, the son, and mut, the urine, they come through the same source." That's a fact. Put and mut. Put means son, and mut means urine. So when we beget son, the same genital; when we pass urine, the same genital. Son, he has . . . you . . . liquid. Tulasī dāsa says—it is very nice—that "Put and mut, they are coming from the same source.
So a put, if he is devotee of the Lord, then he is put. If he is not, then he is mut." (laughter) "Then he is mut." If the son . . . after begetting son, if the son does not become devotee, then he is as good as mut, I pass urine. Mut son, he says, because he's less than mut. Because mut, I pass urine. The obnoxious thing, that is gone away. But it is present. (laughter) It is present. (chuckles) The bad smell is constantly giving me trouble. Mut-karma's there. So these are very instructive.
So why this is? Anyone . . . everyone is son of God, but one who is acting as real son of God, he is praised, "He is my only son." This idea. Not that God is limited to produce only one son. Why? God has unlimited sons. He is unlimited. If an ordinary man can beget hundreds of sons, just like Dhṛtarāṣṭra . . . there are many instances . . . Ṛṣabhadeva. So why God should be restricted to beget only one son? I asked this question in church to some Christian priest, that "God is limited or unlimited?" He said, "Unlimited." "Then why you are restricting, limited one son?"
He could not answer. You know that? "Why you are limiting? He is unlimited. The ordinary person can beget hundreds of sons. Why God, unlimited, He should be restricted to one son?" The interpretation should be . . . anyway, that Tulasī dāsa says, that if he is devotee, then he is son. Otherwise it is urine. The God has begotten many sons. Just like . . . the only worthy son was Jesus Christ—you can interpret it like that—because he was giving service to the Lord, to the father. He brought the message of father.
