Some of them are not all foolish. Some of them are foolish. So these foolish persons, they say that, "I am God. You are God. Everyone is God." That is foolishness. We are not God. We are part and parcel of God, qualitatively one. But we are not the Supreme Being.

Prabhupāda: We are created as being controlled. So instead of aspiring to become controller, if we remain controlled, that is our natural position. But some rascals, they are trying to become controller, "I am . . . by meditation I have become God." But if you are a God, then how you have become dog? This is going on. The cheating, the so-called svāmīs. Do they not say, "I am God"? Do they not say: "I am God. You are God. Everyone God"?

Reporter (2): No, some . . . some might say that, but . . .

Prabhupāda: But some of them; I am talking, the some of them. Some of them are not all foolish. Some of them are foolish. So these foolish persons, they say that, "I am God. You are God. Everyone is God." That is foolishness. We are not God. We are part and parcel of God, qualitatively one. But we are not the Supreme Being. We are living being, but not Supreme Being.

Reporter (2): God is inside us.

Prabhupāda: God is inside, outside, everywhere.

Reporter (3): Who do you think Jesus Christ was?

Prabhupāda: Now, let us finish one. Jesus Christ himself said that he is son of God. That's all right. That's all right.

Reporter (2): But if you take a drop of water and you merge it back into an ocean . . . this is an example that is often given, I think, by these masters, that if you take a drop of water and you put it into an ocean, that drop becomes one with that ocean.

Prabhupāda: The drop of water becomes ocean?

Reporter (2): No, but it becomes merged in that ocean.

Prabhupāda: That's all right. Merging is different. But the ocean remains the ocean.

Reporter (2): Yes.

Prabhupāda: And you remain the drop, that's all. Because . . . now, suppose your body, material body—earth, water, air, fire—now, when this body will be decomposed, so this form will not remain. Does it mean that your body has become the whole universal material elements?

Reporter (2): No. But surely body is different from soul.
