Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

So this is called mahātmā. Kṛṣṇa is thinking in terms of all living entities. People are saying that Kṛṣṇa, Indian, Hindu God. Why Hindu God? The dictionary, it is said, in English dictionary, that Kṛṣṇa is one Hindu God. Is not? In the dictionary. Why Hindu God? He says that, "I am the father of all living entities." Why He should be the father of the Hindus, Indians? He's father of everyone. He says. But they write in the dictionary, "Kṛṣṇa is Hindu God." Misinterpretation. Kṛṣṇa does not say. He . . . and Kṛṣṇa Himself, as Caitanya Mahāprabhu, says, pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma: "As many villages and towns are there," sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma that, "My name will be celebrated in every village, every town.".

Just like Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He says, pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma. He's not thinking in terms of . . . pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma (CB Antya-khaṇḍa 4.126): as many towns and villages are there all over the world. He's not thinking in terms of "my village," "my country," "my society." Everyone is thinking like that. But those who are mahātmā actually, they are thinking in a broader way. Pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma. Kṛṣṇa is thinking in terms of all living entities. Sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya sambhavanti mūrtayaḥ yāḥ (BG 14.4): "All living entities, in all species of life, in all forms of life," ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā, "I am their father."

So this is called mahātmā. Kṛṣṇa is thinking in terms of all living entities. People are saying that Kṛṣṇa, Indian, Hindu God. Why Hindu God? The dictionary, it is said, in English dictionary, that Kṛṣṇa is one Hindu God. Is not? In the dictionary. Why Hindu God? He says that, "I am the father of all living entities." Why He should be the father of the Hindus, Indians? He's father of everyone. He says. But they write in the dictionary, "Kṛṣṇa is Hindu God." Misinterpretation. Kṛṣṇa does not say. He . . . and Kṛṣṇa Himself, as Caitanya Mahāprabhu, says, pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma: "As many villages and towns are there," sarvatra pracāra haibe mora nāma that, "My name will be celebrated in every village, every town."

So this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is not a crippled movement. It is very broad movement, claiming all living entities to come to Kṛṣṇa, back to home, back to Godhead. Therefore we should not be bodily conscious. Kṛṣṇa here says, the body is not "I am this body." Idaṁ śarīraṁ kṣetram. It is a field of activities. Kṣetram. Field of activities. Just like one who is bodily conscious, he undergoes many severe exercises, so body becomes very stout and strong and he's happy. He's happy. Because he thinks, "I am this body."

Similarly, you can make your body spiritually stronger. As you make your body materially strong, similarly you can make your body . . . because this is kṣetra. Kṣetra means the field, or the land. You, in the land by tilling the land, by cultivating the land, you can produce nice grain also, and inferior grain also, as you work. Because the land is in your possession, you can cultivate as you like. Similarly, this body is land, and I am the tiller. I am the kṛṣaka, or agriculturist. So by using the land, I can become spiritually advanced or I can become materially advanced. It is up to me.
