Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

Just like Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu is living in everyone's heart, but He is living in the dog's heart also.

Does it mean that He's doggish? He's living in Vaikuṇṭha. Although He's living in the dog's heart, but He's living in Vaikuṇṭha.

Lady devotee: Is Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu present in non-living entities, like rocks?

Devotee: (explaining) Is Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu present in non-living entities, like matter?

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes . . . even in the atom.

Lady devotee: In His four-armed form, like . . .

Prabhupāda: Oh, yes. Wherever He lives, He lives in His own paraphernalia. Aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 1.2.20).

"Greater than the greatest, smaller than the smallest."

He's the biggest than the biggest, and He's the smallest than the smallest. That is Viṣṇu. Aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-stham (Bs. 5.35).

Paramāṇu means atom. You cannot see even atom, how small. He is within that atom. He's everywhere.

Prabhupāda: Yes. One who has realized, he is living in Vṛndāvana anywhere. A realized soul is always living in Vṛndāvana. Caitanya Mahāprabhu also said. One who has realized Kṛṣṇa, then he's always living in Vṛndāvana. He's nowhere. Just like Kṛṣṇa or Viṣṇu is living in everyone's heart, but He is living in the dog's heart also.

Does it mean that He's doggish? He's living in Vaikuṇṭha. Although He's living in the dog's heart, but He's living in Vaikuṇṭha. Similarly, a devotee may seem to be living in some place which is far from Vṛndāvana, but he's living in Vṛndāvana. That's a fact. Yes. (break) (end)
