Is not because He has become many, therefore His original person is finished. No. That is the injunction in the Vedas: pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam eva avaśiṣyate (Īśo Invocation). He remains still pūrṇa. One minus thousand times one is still one.

Kṛṣṇa, expanding Himself into millions, still, He remains a Kṛṣṇa, the same Kṛṣṇa. It is not that material thing. If you take a material thing, anything, if you divide it into millions portion, then original form is finished. There is no more. You take a piece of paper and cut it into pieces and throw it all over, then the original paper is lost. There is no more. That is material. But Kṛṣṇa . . . Kṛṣṇa, He is expanded. Eko bahu syām (Chandogya Upanishad 6.2.3). The Lord said, "I shall become many." Many; still He is there. Is not because He has become many, therefore His original person is finished. No. That is the injunction in the Vedas: pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam eva avaśiṣyate ([[Vanisource:ISO (1974) Invocation|Īśo Invocation]]). He remains still pūrṇa. One minus thousand times one is still one. That is absolute. Absolute Truth means the truth never diminishes or never becomes relative or conditional. That is Absolute Truth.

So in the absolute platform, in the spiritual world, Kṛṣṇa is the supreme whole spirit. Therefore He may expand Himself. Advaita acyuta anādi ananta-rūpam (Bs. 5.33). Ananta-rūpam, various kinds of forms. Everything is Kṛṣṇa's forms. Your form is also Kṛṣṇa's form; my form is also Kṛṣṇa's form. Therefore foolish rascals, they think, "Now I have become God." He has got the affinity that he is also God expansion; therefore sometimes he thinks that "I am God."
