Paṇḍita, one who is learned, he knows that all of them, animal, trees, plants or human being or demigods, everyone is the spirit soul. Now they are simply encaged in different bodies according to different karma.
The soul, part and parcel of God, wanted to imitate God's supremacy, and they wanted to enjoy. But in the spiritual world there cannot be second enjoyer. The only enjoyer is Kṛṣṇa. Bhoktāraṁ sarva-loka . . . bhoktāraṁ sarva-yajñānāṁ sarva-loka . . . (BG 5.29). He is the supreme proprietor, supreme being. In the dictionary you will find "the supreme being." "Supreme being" means nobody can be equal to Him, nobody can be greater than Him. That is . . . means supreme. So how one can become an imitator of Kṛṣṇa? That is not possible. That imitation is possible here in this material, because they are all rascals. So one rascal may claim that, "I am God," imitation, but as soon as he claims like that, any intelligent man knows that he is a rascal. That's all. That very assertion will establish that he is a rascal.
