We cannot compare that Kṛṣṇa's body and my body, this body, material, is the same. That is condemned in the Bhagavad-gītā, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā (BG 9.11): "Those who are fools, rascals, they deride at Me, thinking Me as ordinary human being." Just like there are atheist class, Māyāvādī class, they think that they are as good as Kṛṣṇa. Such foolish proposition.

One who knows God as He is, divyam: God's, or Kṛṣṇa's, name, form, quality, pastimes, entourage—everything—absolute and spiritual.

So one has to know this. We cannot compare that Kṛṣṇa's body and my body, this body, material, is the same. That is condemned in the Bhagavad-gītā, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā (BG 9.11): "Those who are fools, rascals, they deride at Me, thinking Me as ordinary human being." Just like there are atheist class, Māyāvādī class, they think that they are as good as Kṛṣṇa. Such foolish proposition. Our Kṛṣṇa Book will explain that we don't accept Kṛṣṇa so cheaply. He has given evidences by His activities that He is Supreme Personality of Godhead, beginning from His birth, His appearance.

So His field, His activities, there cannot be any comparison. That is the purport of this verse. (reading translation) "The Personality of Godhead, although fixed in His . . ." Still He is fixed-up: goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ (Bs. 5.37). He has nothing to do. Why He shall have anything to do? A rich man here in this material world, we see he is sitting, and his assistants, secretaries and workers, they are working for him. Even an ordinary rich man in this world, we see like that, he has nothing to do, but he has got to apply his brain, how things are going on. But Kṛṣṇa is so happy that He has nothing to do; He is simply enjoying with Rādhārāṇī. That's all.

That is condemned in the Bhagavad-gītā, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā ([[Vanisource:BG 9.11|BG 9.11]]): "Those who are fools, rascals, they deride at Me, thinking Me as ordinary human being."

He has given evidences by His activities that He is Supreme Personality of Godhead, beginning from His birth, His appearance.
-So His field, His activities, there cannot be any comparison. That is the purport of this verse. (reading translation:) "The Personality of Godhead, although fixed in His..." Still He is fixed-up: goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ (Bs. 5.37). He has nothing to do. Why He shall have anything to do? A rich man here in this material world, we see he is sitting, and his assistants, secretaries and workers, they are working for him. Even an ordinary rich man in this world, we see like that: he has nothing to do, but he has got to apply his brain, how things are going on. But Kṛṣṇa is so happy that He has nothing to do; He is simply enjoying with Rādhārāṇī. That's all.
-That is God: He has no business, He has no... Then how things are going on? It is by His energy. Just like nowadays in modern advancement of civilization, the one controller is sitting; he is simply pressing one button and some huge machine is running on. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa's machines, energies, are so perfect that simply by His will. Therefore Kṛṣṇa's another name is Sattva-saṅkalpa. Whatever He desires, that is to happen without any fail. That is called Sattva-saṅkalpa. We can desire something, but it may not be. God said, "Let there be creation"; immediately the huge cosmic manifestation is there.
+So one has to know this. We cannot compare that Kṛṣṇa's body and my body, this body, material, is the same. That is condemned in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'', ''avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā'' ([[vanisource:BG 9.11 (1972)|BG 9.11]]): "Those who are fools, rascals, they deride at Me, thinking Me as ordinary human being." Just like there are atheist class, Māyāvādī class, they think that they are as good as Kṛṣṇa. Such foolish proposition. Our ''Kṛṣṇa Book'' will explain that we don't accept Kṛṣṇa so cheaply. He has given evidences by His activities that He is Supreme Personality of Godhead, beginning from His birth, His appearance.
-So in this way, when in the Vedas it is said that God has no hands, no legs, but He accepts the offerings, these things appear to be contradictory, that "He has no hand; then how He accepts our offering?" That is the Māyāvāda philosopher, that they misunderstand and they think that God is impersonal. No. God is the Supreme Person, but His hands, His legs—not like us. Therefore the Vedas says apāṇi-pādo: when it is said that He has no hand, no leg, that means He has no hand, no leg like us, like ours.
+So His field, His activities, there cannot be any comparison. That is the purport of this verse. (reading translation) "The Personality of Godhead, although fixed in His . . ." Still He is fixed-up: ''goloka eva nivasaty akhilātma-bhūtaḥ'' (Bs. 5.37). He has nothing to do. Why He shall have anything to do?
