Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Kṛṣṇa says that tāny ahaṁ veda sarvāṇi. That means "For Me, there is no past and present and future." That means His body is different from Arjuna's. Because He knows. Why I forget? Because I have got this material body. And Kṛṣṇa does not forget, therefore He has no material body. It is natural conclusion.

In the Second Chapter it is said by Kṛṣṇa, "My dear Arjuna, both you and Me and all these kings and soldiers who are assembled here, do not think that they did not exist in the past or they will cease to exist in the future. They existed in the past as individuals, and they are existing at present as individuals, and they will exist in the future also as individuals." This is clearly stated in the Bhagavad-gītā in the Second Chapter. The difference between God and living entity is this: that God knows past, present, future, and I or you do not know past, present and future. That is the difference.

Tāny ahaṁ veda sarvāṇi. Sarvāṇi. There were millions and millions of births and appearance and disappearance in the past. Because time is unlimited, nitya. There is no . . . the past, present, future, this is due to this body. Just like a small ant, its calculation of past, present and future and my calculation of past, present and future are different. Because he has got a different body, I have got a different body, the atom has got a different body.

So it is according to the body, past, present and future. But there is a life where there is no existence of this material body of past, present and future. Therefore in the eternal world means there is no past, present and future. Because there is no . . . not this material body. This is the difference between past, present and future. Therefore it is called nitya. Nitya means eternal, where there is no influence of this time. Here the influence of time is there; therefore we experience past, present and future.

Now from this verse, Kṛṣṇa says that tāny ahaṁ veda sarvāṇi. That means "For Me, there is no past and present and future." That means His body is different from Arjuna's. Because He knows. Why I forget? Because I have got this material body. And Kṛṣṇa does not forget, therefore He has no material body. It is natural conclusion. Because past, present and future is due to this material body. Otherwise, there is no . . . just like for the sun.

These are all scientific truth. You know when from Russia the first Sputnik was started, in one hour they circumambulated twenty-five times the whole world. In one hour and twenty-five minutes. Now the circumambulating the whole world means so many twenty-five day and night. That twenty-five day and night was finished in one hour. And it is scientific truth. Professor Einstein has established that in the higher planetary system the timing system is different.

So when there is no these material impediments, naturally the life is eternal, the knowledge is eternal, the bliss is eternal. As soon as we are free from this material body, then these questions of past, present, future, pleasure, not pleasure, knowledge, no knowledge, these dualities, this world of duality, will finish. The impersonalist, the Māyāvādī philosopher, they think that because the past, present and future, and this duality is finished, therefore there is no variegatedness. They cannot understand. They cannot accommodate in their tiny brain that this is possible.
