Prabhupāda: As soon as I want a smaller car . . . Not smaller car; I want bigger car. Smaller car also—that is change. Whatever you deserve. You desire; at the same time, you deserve. First deserve, then desire. Just like these rascals, "I desire to become God." That kind of desire will never be fulfilled.
Yadubara: It's according to the qualification also.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Your position is very minute. So you can desire up to that limit, not that you can desire "I become complete, universal." That is the defect of the Māyāvāda. "Because I am equal . . ." So 'ham. "Because I am qualitatively one, therefore I am one in every respect." A drop of ocean water, if he desires, "I become ocean," that is not possible. But a drop of ocean water contains the same ingredients as the big Pacific Ocean. So in your quantitative proportion, if you desire, that is your perfection.
Brahmānanda: Understanding one's position.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Brahmānanda: That's sensible. (break)
Devotee (1): Like in the Tenth Chapter it's talking about . . .
Prabhupāda: Hmm, not come very near. Yes?
Devotee (1): It's talking about the . . . that Arjuna saw the universal form, all these universes and all that. So does that mean like you were talking that one can't become a universal being, but he can see the whole universe? Can you explain how that is?
Prabhupāda: How is that? You can see the universe; that does not mean that you can become universe. You can see the sky; that does not mean you become as big as sky. (break) . . . small, minute shining sparks, minute combination. So they are also shining, but that does not mean they can become as good, as big, as the sun. (break) . . . the defect of the Māyāvāda philosophy. They think of themselves too much. Therefore they remain here, always in māyā. (break) . . . abuddhayaḥ, means the intelligence is not purified. They are called aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ or viśuddha (SB 10.2.32), "without purification of knowledge." (break) . . . kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adhaḥ anādṛta-yuṣmād-aṅghrayaḥ. They fall down. (break) . . . this symbol?
Harikeśa: Some fountain.
Prabhupāda: No, there are some children, symbolic.
Brahmānanda: They're looking at the water. (break)
Prabhupāda: . . . written, "Danger." Now they are going to the safety. What is danger, there is that safety. Now, what is danger and what is safety?
Brahmānanda: That means it is relative.
