Now I am living in my body. If there is pain here, I can understand,
"Here is pain." But if there is some pain in your body, I cannot
understand. Therefore I am different from you. But Krsna can
understand what is pain or pleasure in my body, and what is pain or
pleasure in your body and everyone's body. That is Krsna.
Sarva-ksetresu.

That is God, not that, simply by claiming, "I am God. I am the same
God." And how you claim God? Can you tell what I was thinking? Can you
tell what he is thinking? No. Then how... What kind of God you are?
Don't accept a cheap God. These are the symptoms of God. Adv aitam
acyutam anadim ananta-rupam [Bs. 5.33]. He has got ananta,
unlimited... There are unlimited living entities. In the Vedas it is
stated, nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam (Katha Upanisad 2.2.13):
"There are unlimited living entities, unlimited eternals. But there is
one, another, one supreme eternal, supreme entity."

What is the difference between this, the unlimited number, or plural
number, and one singular number? That is also answered. Eko bahunam yo
vidadhati kaman: "That singular number one entity is supplying the,
all the necessities of all the plural number living entities." We are
plural number entities. The living entities, we are plural number.
Nityo nityanam. This nityanam is plural number, possessive case, in
Sanskrit. And He is nitya. He is one, singular number. Eko bahunam
vidadhati kaman: "That one is supplying the necessities of all living
entities."

Don't we see how God is supplying all the necessities of birds,
beasts, and everyone? Ours also. We don't acknowledge. Because we are
civilized, we are, we do not acknowledge. The birds, beasts also do
not acknowledge, but because they are birds and beasts. So we are just
becoming like birds and beasts, denying the existence of God, denying
the authority of God.

We are taking advantage. Vidadhati kaman. If Krsna does not supply us
this light, sunlight, we will die. But He does not charge anything.
But because we are human being, we should try to repay: "Oh, Krsna is
giving us so much facilities. Let me render some service unto Him."
This is Krsna consciousness. This is to acknowledge, "O God, You are
so kind. You are giving so many things. So I have collected this
fruit. It is Your fruit, I know. Still, please accept." This is
finish, your business. You are a great devotee. You are a great Krsna
conscious personality, and Krsna says, patram puspam phalam toyam yo
me bhaktya prayacchati [Bg. 9.26]. Krsna does not want from you, very
nice thing. Krsna is complete in Himself. He can produce many, many
nice things. He is not begging, but still, He is expecting something
from you because He is supplying so many things to you. Is it not?

Suppose if you have got a friend, you always give him. Don't you
expect something: "Oh, I give so many things to my friend. He does not
offer me anything?"? Don't you feel, out of love? Father, mother, they
do so many things for the children. If the children do not do anything
for the father and mother, are they not happy? Are they happy? No.
They are unhappy: "My children are so ungrateful."

Although He does not want -- Krsna is full in Himself -- but if we
supply something to Krsna... Krsna's good is to be supplied to Krsna.
The fruit is not produced by you. Krsna says, patram puspam phalam
toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati: [Bg. 9.26] "Anyone who offers Me a
little fruit, a little water, and little leaf, oh, I accept." Tad aham
asnami, bhakty-upahrtam: "Because he has brought with the devotion and
love, I accept it." If Krsna accepts your offering, then your life
becomes sublime. That is Krsna consciousness.

Simply we should have to acknowledge. We are getting so many
facilities from Krsna. He is sitting within your heart, He is
supplying you all necessities, He is giving you sunlight, He is giving
you rainy, seasonal rains, fruits, flowers, grains, and we are so
ungrateful that we do not acknowledge?

So try to understand in this way Krsna consciousness, God
consciousness. Then your dormant relationship with God and Krsna will
be revived. Ceto-darpana-marjanam [Cc. Antya 20.12]. Lord Caitanya
says, "By revival of Krsna consciousness means the dirty things
accumulated on our heart will be dissipated, immediately vanished."
Then we shall see, "Oh, this is my position. I am Krsna's, and Krsna is mine."
