He (Prahlada Maharaja) is more than the demigod. He's so elevated, but still, he's personifying himself with the atheistic class, because he's born in that, from that father. That is humbleness

"They are not just like enemies. We are Your enemies." He's taking always himself . . . this is another sign of devotee. He is not . . . he is more than the demigod. He has . . . he's so elevated, but still, he's personifying himself with the atheistic class, because he's born in that, from that father. That is humbleness.

"They are Your most obedient servant, and they are all devotees." Sattva, bhakta eva nanv eva bhayaṁ ca asuram eva vaidha-bhāvaḥ: "They are not just like enemies. We are Your enemies." He's taking always himself . . . this is another sign of devotee. He is not . . . he is more than the demigod. He has . . . he's so elevated, but still, he's personifying himself with the atheistic class, because he's born in that, from that father. That is humbleness. That is . . . he's not actually so.

Just like Haridāsa Ṭhākura. Haridāsa Ṭhākura, because he was born in a Muhammadan family, he would go . . . Caitanya Mahāprabhu transferred Himself to Jagannātha Purī after taking sannyāsa. So he requested Caitanya Mahāprabhu, "My dear Lord, You are going to Jagannātha Purī. What will be my fate?" "Oh, you also come there. You live with Me."

So Haridāsa Ṭhākura also went to Jagannātha Purī. But because he was born in a Muhammadan family, the priest class, they would make howling, "How this Muhammadan is entering?" So he never entered the temple. Caitanya Mahāprabhu gave him just an apartment where He was living, just by the side. And every morning Caitanya Mahāprabhu was coming to see him.

So . . . so it does not mean . . . if a humble devotee thinks that, "I am the lowest. I am untouchable," this way, that does not mean he is out of the touch of God. But this humbleness is very good, just like Prahlāda Mahārāja, always identifying himself that, "I am the son of atheist father. So these demigods, they are not disturbing elements like us."
