In God’s creation there are different varieties of living entities. Unfortunately, our calculation is that whatever we are, that is final. No. That is miscalculation. That is miscalculation. As we can see, there are different grades of varieties of forms, and their states, their duration of life, their standard—everything is different.
Similarly, in the higher planets their standard of living, their duration of life, their calculation of mile—everything is different. That is also admitted scientifically. So greater, greater, greater, greater, greater, greater. We do not know what is the end of that greatness. We simply say "God is great," but we do not know how much great He is. That you do not know. But He is great, that is all right. He is greatest of all.
In the Vedic language it is said asamordhva. Asama. Asama means "no equal." Nobody is equal. Urdhva. Urdhva means "greater." Asamordhva. In the Bhagavad-gītā also this language is used. Nobody is equal or greater than God. That is God. You study from one creature to another, another, another, another, another, another, from beginning from the microbic ant, which is just like full stop, and go on, go on, go up to Brahmā, whose life duration I just told you, four hundred thousands of years, or five thousands of years multiplied by one thousand equal to one day of Brahmā.
He also lives in such way one hundred years. He lives one hundred years, I live one hundred years, the ant lives one hundred years. But this one hundred years are relative. We cannot say that ant’s one hundred years and my hundred years and Brahmā’s a hundred years is the same. The speed, the body, the calculation, they are all different, all different.
So "God is great" means there are different grades of living entities, and the supreme living entity of whom there is no equal or greater is God. He is God. But the rascals, they are thinking, "I am God." But this is the definition in every religion—either Christian religion or Hindu religion—that God is great.
The Sanskrit language they say brahma. Brahma means "the greatest." Brahma, "the greatest." The Supreme Absolute Personality of Godhead is called Parabrahma. Parabrahma means . . . para means the Supreme, and brahma. We are all brahma. Brahma means spirit soul. You are brahma, I am brahma, everyone. Or you can say we are all God. But the greatest God is different. He is different. That is Kṛṣṇa.
