Imitation Gods Won't Help Us - Prabhupada 0290



750117 - Lecture SB 03.26.42 - Bombay

There are so many modern Gods; I do not wish to name. But one modern God, he gave his power to his disciple, and when he came into consciousness, then he was crying. The disciples inquired from the guru, "Why you are crying, sir?" "Now I have finished everything. I have given you everything. I have given you everything; therefore I am now finished." (laughs) That is not spiritual. That is material. I have got hundred rupees. If I pay you hundred rupees, then my pocket is empty. But Kṛṣṇa is not like that. Kṛṣṇa can make hundreds of thousands and millions of Kṛṣṇa; still, He is Kṛṣṇa. That is Kṛṣṇa. The potency is never exhausted. That is called pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam eva avaśiṣyate.

So this imitation God will not help us.
