<div class="heading">For Him there is no external, internal. For Kṛṣṇa there is no external, internal. You cannot understand this. Kṛṣṇa is absolute. For me there is external, internal, but for Kṛṣṇa there is no external, internal because His energy... The external energy is also His energy, and internal is His energy.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk Excerpts -- May 1, 1974, Bombay|Morning Walk Excerpts -- May 1, 1974, Bombay]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Yadubara: "I shall also see how You..." (break) "...your internal potency You have set up the influence of māyā." That is part of the internal potency?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm? Yes. What is your question?</p>
<p>Yadubara: Well, I thought it was the external potency.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: For Him there is no external, internal. For Kṛṣṇa there is no external, internal. You cannot understand this. Kṛṣṇa is absolute. For me there is external, internal, but for Kṛṣṇa there is no external, internal because His energy... The external energy is also His energy, and internal is His energy. Therefore He's everything. Hare Kṛṣṇa. Jaya. (Hindi) For electrician there is no difference between refrigerator and heater. He knows how to adjust it. For me, this is heater; this is refrigerator. Like that.</p>
<p>Yadubara: "You have taken your birth in the Yadu dynasty..." (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...says, ātma-māyayā. Ātma-māyayā, His own energy. So the material energy and the spiritual, both of them, are His energy. So even if He appears in a material body, it does not act as material body. It act as spiritual body. Just like same example: The expert electrician, he can turn the refrigerator into heater. Is it not? That is the way. Hare Kṛṣṇa. For Him there is nothing, no distinction, because He is absolute. Similarly, to take the side of the devotee and to kill the enemy of Kṛṣṇa, they are all the same.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Inside of the devotee?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Or to kill the demon, that is His mercy. Both of them. It is not that materially, as we think, "Oh, Kṛṣṇa is taking side of this man and killing this man." No. Still, He is neutral, absolute.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: The sahajiyās, they don't know that.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Eh?</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: Sahajiyās, they just go towards like the rasa-līlā, and they avoid the demon killing.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Who?</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: The sahajiyās.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Oh, they are rascals. Kick them out. They think everything is easy.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: What is sahajiyā?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Sahajiyā... Sahaj means easy. Easy-going. They will smoke cigarette at the same time they will play rasa-līlā. This is sahajiyā. This is sahajiyā. They will do all nonsense; still, they will become God, imitation of God.</p>
<p>Yadubara: "Nārada Muni wanted to impress upon people in general that Kṛṣṇa is fully independent. His activities such as His appearance..." (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He played also. (Hindi) We used to say chor chor kela: "Catch up the feet." (Hindi) (break) ...and wonderful things, as they are mentioned, they were all manufactured by the demons.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: māyā.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, these wonderful scientific advancement, they were done by the demons. So they are demons. These so-called scientist, they re all demons.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: Palace of Pāṇḍavas were constructed by māyā.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Dr. Patel: So they were all engineers.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No, no, engineer. Engineer are also demons, but he is no longer demon. Now doctors are demon. (laughter) Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
