There are some special marks on the chest of Viṣṇu by which in Vaikuṇṭha He is known that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Otherwise, in Vaikuṇṭha, everyone has got the same feature like Viṣṇu. Just like if President Johnson comes here as a gentleman, you'll not, nobody will recognize him whether he's president or not unless he shows his special mark. Is it not?

Rukmiṇī: On the picture today that you gave Jadurāṇī, a picture of Śrī Viṣṇu, there is a foot on the chest. We didn't know what that was. There was a little footprint.

Prabhupāda: There are some special marks on the chest of Viṣṇu by which in Vaikuṇṭha He is known that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Otherwise, in Vaikuṇṭha, everyone has got the same feature like Viṣṇu. Just like if President Johnson comes here as a gentleman, you'll not . . . nobody will recognize him whether he's president or not, unless he shows his special mark. Is it not? All government officers, big officers, they have got within the coat one, some mark. So far I know. 

So similarly, in Vaikuṇṭha the inhabitants, they got ''svarūpa''. Their form is exactly like Viṣṇu. There is no difference. When the Viṣṇudūta came to take Ajāmila from the hands of Yamadūta, they were four-handed, with ''śankha-cakra-gadā-padma'', as Viṣṇu: the lotus flower, this disc, and the club and the conchshell. There is no difference in the body. Simply by that special mark, some special hair on the chest, and there is Bhṛgu, I mean to say, sole, sole, a mark of the feet of Bhṛgu Muni. So by some special marks one can recognize He is Viṣṇu. 

Otherwise, from bodily features and from dress and from ornaments, there is no distinction between Viṣṇu and His devotees in Vaikuṇṭha. They're all four-handed. ''Svarūpa, sāyujya'', ''sālokya'', ''sārṣṭi''. They have got equal, I mean to say, situation of prosperity, wealthy, equally . . . almost equally powerful. 

So practically there is no difference between Viṣṇu and ''Viṣṇu-bhakta''. In Kṛṣṇaloka also. Only Kṛṣṇa is little blackish. Otherwise there is no . . . in the Kṛṣṇaloka they are two-handed, and Viṣṇuloka they are four-handed. All the Vaikuṇṭhas, the residents, they are four-handed. You want four hand or two hand? (laughter) Mr. Murti? What do you want? Four hand?

Mr. Murti: Two hands more than Kṛṣṇa.

Prabhupāda: Yes. In this universe only Brahmā has got four hands. Nobody within this universe. And Viṣṇu also. In this ''brahmāṇḍa'', in this universe, there is a planet where the ocean is of milk. Here, just like salted water. There are many oceans—ocean of oil, ocean of ''ghee'', ocean of milk. 

The ocean of oil, you have got experience in this planet. Within the earth you are getting some . . . your civilization depending . . . your motorcar civilization is depending on that ocean of oil. You are getting oil and lavishly spending it. Stock is supplied by God. Your material advancement will be finished if the stock is not supplied by the Lord. 

So these foolish men, they do not know. They think that, "Without God we can live." Who has created the ocean of petroleum within the earth? Is it possible for human being? (laughter)
