Prabhupāda: Eh?

Brahmānanda: They say the chunk was always there.

So if you have got, an ordinary human being, so much inconceivable power, how much God has got inconceivable power. That is God.

Haṁsadūta: In Los Angeles you called it mystic power, that every living creature has some mystic power.

Prabhupāda: Yes. Every living creature.

Prabhupāda: Yes. The mystic power producing tons of citric acid.
