Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

God is everything. So you cannot see at your present status the God. But you can see His form, and the business will be done. If you offer everything, Kṛṣṇa will eat, business will go on. There is no difference. It is His mercy that He presents Himself in a form which we can see.

Indian man (7): Idea of avatāra? . . . (indistinct)

Prabhupāda: We have already explained. The idol, it is not idol. It is Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is all-powerful. He can present Himself in a manner which you can see, because Kṛṣṇa is everything. Bhūmir āpo 'nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca (BG 7.4). He is everything. God is everything. So you cannot see at your present status the God. But you can see His form, and the business will be done. If you offer everything, Kṛṣṇa will eat, business will go on. There is no difference. It is His mercy that He presents Himself in a form which we can see.

Indian man (8): Gurudeva, if for some reason . . . (indistinct) . . . the question I wish to ask is: whence did we come, why are we here, and what is the true reason for our existence, and where are we going?

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: The question is, from where did we come, why are we here, and where are we going?

Prabhupāda: Wherefrom just now you are coming? (laughter) Hmm? Tell me wherefrom you are coming. You cannot say? Who can say wherefrom he is coming. Huh? Wherefrom you are coming? You cannot say? Hmm? You cannot say wherefrom you are coming just now?

Indian man (8): That is what I would like to know, Gurudeva.

Prabhupāda: First of all say.

Indian man (8): What is true reason for our existence and where are we going?

Prabhupāda: You are coming from home. (laughter) So this is our temporary home. We have got real home. That is the kingdom of God. We are coming from there. Just like you have come from India, or your forefathers have come from India. Now you have made this country as your home. Similarly, we have come from the spiritual world. Now we have made this material world as our home.
