Either Kṛṣṇa or we, every one of us are ever-existing, because we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, if Kṛṣṇa is ever-existing, so we are also ever-existing. A particle of gold is gold, qualitatively. The value of gold mine and the gold earring may be different. Gold earring may be, say, hundred dollars, but a gold mine, millions of dollars. But both of them are gold.


So either Kṛṣṇa or we, every one of us are ever-existing, because we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, if Kṛṣṇa is ever-existing, so we are also ever-existing. A particle of gold is gold, qualitatively. The value of gold mine and the gold earring may be different. Gold earring may be, say, hundred dollars, but a gold mine, millions of dollars. But both of them are gold, not that it is iron, therefore less value. No. Small quantity. Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Spirit, person. He is all-pervading. Everywhere He is present, He is so expansive. We are simply . . . we are also all-pervading, but within this body. That's all. Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading means throughout the whole creation Kṛṣṇa all-pervading. And we are also all-pervading only in this body. You are all-pervading within your body. I know the pains and pleasure of my body; you know the pains and pleasure of your body. So all-pervading means within this body. If I pinch anywhere, I'll feel pain, but you will not feel pain. If I pinch my body, I will feel pain; you will not feel pain. Therefore you are not all-pervading, I am not all-pervading.

But Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading. When I feel pain, Kṛṣṇa knows it. Vedāhaṁ samatītāni (BG 7.26): "I know everything." That is Kṛṣṇa. Try to understand distinction between Kṛṣṇa and us. He's all-pervading, but He's nitya, ever-existing. We are also ever-existing. Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13). We have got knowledge, Kṛṣṇa has got knowledge. But we have got limited knowledge. Kṛṣṇa has got unlimited knowledge. That is the difference. Kṛṣṇa is also cognizant. He's also acknowledged. Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām. Then where is the difference between Kṛṣṇa and us? Yes, there is difference. What is that? That Kṛṣṇa, singular number, nityo nityānām—nityānām, this is plural number—cetanaś cetanānām. Cetanānām, this plural number. So there is one person, singular number; others, they are plural number, we jīvas. Anantyāya kalpate.
