- A living entity must have independence, although it is very little, minute. That Krsna does not touch. He'll never touch. You'll have to agree, "Yes, Krsna, I shall surrender unto You. Yes. That is for my benefit." This is Krsna consciousness

B

- Because of his minute independence, the living entity can obey or disobey the orders of the Supreme Lord
- Because the living entity is the minute particle of God, mamaivamso jiva-bhutah (BG 15.7), therefore his intelligence, his power, is also very minute. But God's power is unlimited. By unlimited power Krsna knows the past, future and present, everything
- Because the minute living entity is prone to be subjected to the influence of material qualities, he is called jiva, and sometimes the Supreme Personality of Godhead is also known as Siva, the all-auspicious one
- Because we are part and parcel of Krsna, all the qualities of Krsna in minute quantity, they are within us. We are sample of Krsna, but wherefrom we get this fighting spirit? The fighting spirit is there in Krsna

- Even if one completes only a minute percentage of devotional service and then falls down from his immature position, he is better than a person who fully engages in the fruitive activities of this material world
- Every living entity has an individual soul, his personal individuality and a minute form of independence. By misuse of that independence, one becomes a conditioned soul, and by proper use of independence he is always liberated. BG 1972 purports

- Forgetfulness of transcendental relationship between the living entity and the Personality of Godhead has created a false sense of everyone's being a miniature Krsna, who tries to enjoy the world to his best capacity
G
- God is great, and we are minute fragment. That is difference. Therefore, simultaneously we are one and different, one in quality but different in quantity

- If the living entities are accepted as minute energies of Your Lordship, then they are at once subject to Your supreme control (BG 10.87.30). BG 1972 purports

- It (the soul) is very fragmental, minute, atomic portion. But it cannot be burned, cannot be cut into pieces. So here the Mayavadi theory will fail

- Simply like layman if you dismiss that "There is no God, there is no soul," this is simply rascaldom, simply rascaldom. Don't remain rascals. Here is Bhagavad-gita. Learn everything very particularly, very minutely. And it is open for everyone

- Since every living entity is a part of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, all fifty of these good qualities of Sri Krsna are originally minutely present in every living being

- So the difference between Siva and jiva is that the all-auspicious Personality of Godhead is never affected by the material qualities, whereas the minute portions of the S P of Godhead are prone to be affected by the qualities of material nature

- Sometimes Krsna even wants to enjoy the pleasure pastimes of fighting. The fighting spirit is also in Krsna, otherwise wherefrom have we gotten it? Because we are part & parcel of Krsna, all the qualities of Krsna are present in minute quantity within us

- There is no difference regarding the creative principles and the Lord's control over them, yet there are some differences in the minute details because of different kalpas

- These expanded living entities (the vibhinnamsa expansions, the marginal potencies of the Lord) are innumerable, just as the minute molecules of sunshine are innumerable expansions of the sun
- These fifty qualities (of Krsna) or characteristics are fragmentally present in every living entity. When they are completely spiritually free and situated in their original condition, all these qualities can be perceived in human life in minute quantity

- This Bhagavad-gita, if you study minutely, this is the science of God, you will see God, you will see Krsna, and you will understand everything
- This covering up of pure consciousness and eternal bliss is due to avidya-karma-samjna, the energy which acts on the infinitesimal living entities who misuse their minute independence

- We cannot see air, radio waves, or sound, nor can we perceive minute bacteria with our blunt senses, but this does not mean they are not there
- We discuss (in the daily classes on Srimad-Bhagavatam) the subject matter very minutely and inspect it from all angles of approach and savor the new understandings

- Yogesvara means the connecting link between the soul and the Supersoul, or the Supreme and the minute living creatures - that is called yoga
