Indian man (1): My question was very simple.
Prabhupāda: Yes. The answer is also very simple. Paramātmā is great; you are small. That's all.
Indian man (1): But whether the, our ātmā is the part and parcel of the ātmā, Paramātmā.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Indian man (1): Paramātmā is entirely different from the ātmā and . . .
Prabhupāda: That I will explain. In quality, you are one. Because a particle of gold is also gold. But the gold mine is not equal to the gold earring. That is mistake.
Indian man (1): They say ātmā is the Paramātmā.
Various Indian men: Not, not, the . . . not the whole.
Prabhupāda: Not the . . . one is great, another is small. That is the difference. Quality is the same.
Indian man (2): That means Paramātmā and ātmā . . .
Prabhupāda: Quality same.
Indian man (2): Quality same
Prabhupāda: Quantity different.
Indian man (2): But the ātmā, it is functioning in the body.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Indian man (2): Is, according to the Paramātmā, it is entirely different from the Paramātmā.
Prabhupāda: According to the Paramātmā.
Indian man (2): Every, our action is according to the Paramātmā.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Indian man (2): So why do you abuse one person to other person?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Indian man (2): Why a person . . .
Prabhupāda: Yes?
Indian man (2): . . . to abuse other person, he says many things . . .
Prabhupāda: But you should remember that you are in quality Paramātmā. So Paramātmā has got supreme independence, you have got little independence also. You, when you misuse that little independence, you create havoc.
