Tejīyasāṁ na doṣāya (SB 10.33.29). If by chanting His holy name we become sinless, how God can become sinful? It is not possible. This is common sense. If by chanting His holy name, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa .

So this sleeping of Kāraṇodakaśāyī Viṣṇu is not extraordinary. We can . . . If we study our, I mean to say, inclination, our sense of pleasure; if we simply study ourself, you'll find that the Supreme Lord possessing the same thing but in turya, without any touch of māyā or without any touch of the three guṇas. Then you can understand what is God. God means . . . Because we are part and parcel of God, so you study yourself, you'll find the same quality. Just like a small drop of seawater. You analyze it, what chemicals are there—the same chemicals are in the ocean. The difference is quantity. Quality, the same. That is called acintya-bhedābheda tattva. We are qualitatively one with God, not quantitatively. The Māyāvādī philosophers, they think we are also quantitatively the same. That is mistake. That is not possible. Otherwise, why it is said, sthito na tu tamo na guṇāṁś ca yuṅkṣe (SB 7.9.32)? This . . . He is so big that He is above these qualities. Just like we become infected in a filthy place, but the sun does not become infected. It rather sterilizes that infected place. So we should not compare with God, that "I am equal to Him." No. That is not possible. Tejīyasāṁ na doṣāya (SB 10.33.29). The sun, when it absorbs water from the urinal, he is not infected. He makes that urinal sterilized. Similarly, if sometimes we see some behavior of the Supreme Lord which appears from social . . . our social point of view as not permitted . . . But He can do anything. That is the meaning of all-powerful. But He's not affected. He's not affected. Apāpa-viddham (ISO 8). Apāpa-viddham, in the Upaniṣad, Īśopaniṣad, that sinful activities . . . He cannot do anything which is sinful. God is always good. But to our calculation, limited calculation, if we see that He is committing something sinful, it is not sinful; it is sterilizing. The same example: tejīyasāṁ na doṣāya (SB 10.33.29). If by chanting His holy name we become sinless, how God can become sinful? It is not possible. This is common sense. If by chanting His holy name, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa . . .
