"My dear Dhanañjaya, My dear Arjuna, there is nobody superior to Me." So just like some heating agent. You have got several heating agent. You have got heater in your apartment, oven in your apartment. There are so many different varieties of heater. But the heat of the sun cannot be compared with any other heat. You cannot say that, "Because I have got little heat, I have become sun." (chuckles) This is ludicrous; it is not possible. So those who are claiming that, "I am God," "Everyone is God," they are simply, what can I say, less-intelligent persons. (laughter) They have no conception what is God. They do not know what is God. This claim that, "I am God," that means he has no idea what is God. Therefore he is falsely claiming.

These sixty-four qualities, they have analyzed that we living entities, we have got in minute quantities. And amongst the living entities, the highest perfection is to be seen in the life of Brahmā, who is the chief living entity within this universe. So similarly, Lord Śiva has got fifty-five. Lord Nārāyaṇa has got sixty.But Kṛṣṇa has got in full sixty-four—cent percent, hundred percent all the qualities. Therefore either Lord Śiva or Lord Brahmā or the living entities, nobody can be equal to Him. This is the conception of God. Asamora-udhva.

And in the Bhagavad-gītā you have seen that Kṛṣṇa says, mattaḥ parataraṁ nāsti kiñcid asti dhanañjaya (BG 7.7):

"My dear Dhanañjaya, My dear Arjuna, there is nobody superior to Me." So just like some heating agent. You have got several heating agent. You have got heater in your apartment, oven in your apartment. There are so many different varieties of heater. But the heat of the sun cannot be compared with any other heat. You cannot say that, "Because I have got little heat, I have become sun." (chuckles)

This is ludicrous; it is not possible. So those who are claiming that, "I am God," "Everyone is God," they are simply, what can I say, less-intelligent persons. (laughter) They have no conception what is God. They do not know what is God. This claim that, "I am God," that means he has no idea what is God. Therefore he is falsely claiming.

You may have minute quantity of God's quality, but that does not mean you are God. Just like the same example, you may have a minute quantity of the total heat of the sun, but that does not mean you are sun. So qualitatively we are one—everyone has got some temperature, 98 degrees. But not that a million degree. That is not possible. Why the million? If you rise your temperature to 107 degrees, then finished your life. These are practical.

So because Lord Kṛṣṇa is all-powerful, you cannot compare with Kṛṣṇa. He's apāpa-viddham. No contamination can touch Him. But for that reason you cannot say . . . you cannot imitate Kṛṣṇa and you cannot say that, "No contamination can touch me." No. That is not possible. Therefore the whole life, our this human form of life, is a chance to purify so that we may approach. At least, if we get that fifty-five, fifty degrees, fifty parts or fifty fractional portion of God's quality, even in minute quality (quantity), then we can approach God.
