Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

As soon as I become a nondevotee, I'll think all these statement as bluff given by Kṛṣṇa. And as soon as I am a devotee, oh, I'll think, "Oh, my Lord is so powerful." He becomes full with love and adoration. That is the difference. One who believes, he becomes, oh, puffed-up with pleasure, "Oh, my Lord is so powerful." And those who do not believe will say: "Oh, it is simply bluffing. Kṛṣṇa is a person, driving the chariot of Arjuna, and He says . . ." They are imitating. They are imitating. There are so many yogīs who say, "Oh, the sun, moon and everything is floating in me." Imitating.

Just like in the sunshine many planets, they are resting. It is a scientific fact. The all the planets, they are rotating due to the sun heat. Here there is a machine . . . what is called? We have seen. As soon as there is heat, within, the ball begins to rotate.

So everything resting. The weightlessness is due to the sunshine. Due to the sunshine. Similarly, everything—the sun, the universe—everything is resting on Kṛṣṇa-shine. Kṛṣṇa-shine. That is the answer how these so many worlds are floating in the air, that because they are under the Kṛṣṇa's energy. They are floating in the Kṛṣṇa's energy.

So mat-sthāni sarva-bhūtāni: "Everything is resting on Me, but don't think that I am finished because you cannot see there. I am here." Na cāhaṁ teṣu avasthitaḥ. It is not necessarily that we have to see everywhere. Ataḥ sa bhakti udi, uditam adbhūtam aiśvaryam ahaḥ. Now, this transcendental nature of God, all-potential nature of God, to a devotee it will give pleasure, and to a nondevotee it will be seeming like, oh, so many bluff is being spoken by Kṛṣṇa.

As soon as I become a nondevotee, I'll think all these statement as bluff given by Kṛṣṇa. And as soon as I am a devotee, oh, I'll think, "Oh, my Lord is so powerful." He becomes full with love and adoration. That is the difference. One who believes, he becomes, oh, puffed-up with pleasure, "Oh, my Lord is so powerful." And those who do not believe will say: "Oh, it is simply bluffing. Kṛṣṇa is a person, driving the chariot of Arjuna, and He says . . ." They are imitating. They are imitating. There are so many yogīs who say, "Oh, the sun, moon and everything is floating in me." Imitating.

They think that "If Kṛṣṇa . . . if Kṛṣṇa can say like that, I am that, I am also Kṛṣṇa, I am also God. So I can also say like that." But Kṛṣṇa can show the universal form. Will you please show me the univer . . .? "No, that I cannot." Oh, Kṛṣṇa lifted the hill in seven years old. Can you lift a one maund, or hundred pounds, with your finger? "Oh, that I cannot do."

That is the difference between the imitation God and real God. "Because Kṛṣṇa is saying, therefore I shall imitate and say." And because Kṛṣṇa performed rāsa-līlā . . ."Oh, Kṛṣṇa married sixteen thousand wives." "Oh, can you marry one and keep her very nicely in a palace?" "Oh, that I cannot do." Then how you can be Kṛṣṇa? Kṛṣṇa said so many things wonderful, and He acted also wonderful. If you believe one thing and do not believe another thing, then it is called ardha-kukkuṭī-nyāya (CC Ādi 5.176). Ardha-kukkuṭī-nyāya. You cannot believe half. If you believe, you believe full.
