Prabhupāda: Yes. Indian man (4): So can you show me something about that viśva-svarūpa? Prabhupāda: You ask me? So am I Kṛṣṇa? (laughter) Why you are asking foolishly? That means you do not know Kṛṣṇa. You are thinking me as Kṛṣṇa. That you are foolish man. Indian man (4): No, I am not calling you are Kṛṣṇa. Prabhupāda: Then why you are asking to show viśva-rūpa? Indian man (4): Viśva-svarūpa because Kṛṣṇa... Prabhupāda: Viśva-svarūpa will be shown by Kṛṣṇa, not by not me. I am not Kṛṣṇa. Indian man (4): No, I am not saying you are Kṛṣṇa. But you have said you are something about the... Prabhupāda: I am Kṛṣṇa's servant. What Kṛṣṇa says, I am carrying. That's all. That is my position. I am peon. When the peon delivers one thousand rupees or shillings to you, it is not his money. The money is paid by somebody, but I honestly deliver to you. That's all. Indian man (4): But Kṛṣṇa has not given you power as guru? Prabhupāda: Yes, yes. Indian man (4): So you can show? Prabhupāda: So I am not so powerful that I can show the viśva-rūpa. He has given me this power, that "You go and speak to the foolish rascals that I am Bhagavān," (laughter) that much power. Yes. That is my power. I can say to you that "Kṛṣṇa is Bhagavān." That's all. I never become equal to Kṛṣṇa.
