Practically, Krsna is not here within this material world. Just like a big man, his factory is going on, his business is going on, but it not necessarily he has to be present there. Similarly, Krsna's potency is working. His assistants, His so many demigods, they are working. They're describe in the sastra. Just like the sun. Sun is the practically cause of this material cosmic manifestation. That is described in the Brahma-samhita
- yac-caksur esa savita sakala-grahanam
- raja samasta-sura-murtir asesa-tejah
- yasyajnaya brahmati sambhrta-kala-cakro
- govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
Govinda, the sun is described as the eye, one of the eyes of God. He's seeing everything. You cannot hide yourself from the seeing of God, as you cannot hide yourself from the sunshine So, in this way, Krsna. If God's name, there can be any name... And it is admitted in the Vedic literature that God has got many names, but this Krsna name is the chief name. Mukhya. Mukhya means principal. And it is very nicely explained: "all-attractive." In so many ways He's all-attractive. So God's name... The Krsna consciousness movement is propagating God's name, God's glory, God's activities, God's beauty, God's love. Everything. As we have got many things within this material world, all of them, they are in Krsna. Whatever you have got.
Just like here, the most prominent feature in this material world is sex attraction. So that is there in Krsna. We are worshiping Radha and Krsna, attraction. But that attraction and this attraction is not the same. That is real and here it is unreal. We are also dealing with everything which are present in the spiritual world, but it is only reflection. It has no real value. Just like in the tailor's shop, sometimes there are so many beautiful dolls, a beautiful girl is standing. But nobody cares to see it. Because everyone knows that "This is false. However beautiful it may be, it is false." But a living woman, if she is beautiful, so many people see her. Because this is real. This is an example. Here the so-called living is also dead, because the body is matter. It is a lump of matter. As soon as the soul goes away from the same beautiful woman, nobody cares to see her. Because it is as good as the doll on the window of tailor shop. So real factor is the spirit soul, and because here everything is made of dead matter, therefore it is simply imitation, reflection. The real thing is in the spiritual world.
There is a spiritual world. Those who have read Bhagavad-gita, they can understand. The spiritual world is described there, paras tasmat tu bhavo 'nyo 'vyakto 'vyaktat sanatanah (BG 8.20). Bhavah means nature. There is another nature beyond this nature. We can see this nature up to the limit of the sky. The scientists, they're trying to go to the highest planet, but they are calculating it will take forty thousands of years. So who is going to live for forty thousands of years, go and come back? But there is planet. So we cannot calculate even the length and breadth of this material world, what to speak of the spiritual world. Therefore we have to know from authoritative sources. That authoritative source is Krsna. Because we have already described, nobody is wiser or in knowledge than Krsna. So Krsna gives this knowledge, that paras tasmat tu bhavo 'nyo (BG 8.20). "Beyond this material world there is another spiritual sky." There are also innumerable planets. And that sky is far, far greater than this sky. It is one-fourth only. And the spiritual sky is three-fourths. That is described in the Bhagavad-gita, ekamsena sthito jagat (BG 10.42). This is only one-fourth, this material world. The other spiritual world is three-fourths. Suppose God's creation is one hundred. It is only twenty-five percent; seventy-five percent is there. Similarly, the living entities also, a very small fragmental portion of the living entities are here. And there, in the spiritual world, the major portion are there.
