So from the beginning of the creation the same illusion is continued. Brahma, when he was born, created, he was created not by ordinary father and mother, but he was created on a lotus flower stem which grew from the navel of Maha Visnu, er, yes, Garbhodakasayi Visnu. Therefore Brahma's another name is Aja. He's not born like ordinary human being. Svayambhu. He's also known as Svayambhu. Everyone is born by father and mother, but he was born... Of course, father was there, Garbhodakasayi Visnu, but he did not come through the womb of mother. This is omnipotency. Lord Visnu is lying on the Sesa bed, and Laksmiji is engaged in the service of massaging the lotus feet of Visnu, but Visnu did not take the help of Laksmiji to beget Brahma. He personally begot from the navel. Therefore we should understand that the Supreme Personality of Godhead can perform anything he likes from any part of His body. That we chant always, angani yasya sakalendriya-vrttimanti. We have got knowledge, experience, that when a child is born it has got a different source of being born, but Garbhodakasayi Visnu wanted the child be born from the navel and not from the mother of the navelthere was no motherbut the father Himself. This is called angani yasya sakalendriya-vrttimanti. Every part of the body, every limb, has got the potency to act like other parts of the body. We can see only with the eyes, but God can see with His finger. That is God. We can eat through mouth, but God can eat from any part of His body. If He simply touches His toe, He can eat. If He simply glances over the foodstuff offered to Him, He has eaten it. That we do not know. Therefore we're sometimes surprised that "How He has eaten?" that "You are offering so many nice things. It is lying down there. How I shall understand that He has eaten?" Yes, He has eaten. Simply by seeing, He has eaten. And because He's nija-labha-purna, He's satisfied by His own self, therefore by simply glancing, He has eaten and it has become prasadam. You can take it. This is the meaning of angani yasya sakalendriya-vrttimanti.

By mental speculation, mental speed, you cannot reach the spiritual world. Mental speed is very strong. Everyone, we have got experienceyou are sitting here. Immediately, within a second, you can go to our London temple by the mental speed. So even by the mental speed for many, many years, if we run over the space, still, we cannot reach the spiritual world. That is not possible.

Krsna says, "He's first-class yogi." Who? "Who is always trying to see Krsna within the heart." So it is very difficult task? In our bhakti-yoga we can teach this art of seeing Krsna within the core of the heart in one minute. It is so simple. You are seeing Krsna here. You must have impression and try to keep that impression within your heart always. Then you become first-class yogi. Why so much gymnastic and pressing the nose? No. Take directly. If you are engaged twenty-four hours in the service of the Deity, you cannot see except the Deity. This bhakti-yoga practice is so simple. Therefore kanistha adhikari, those who are neophyte, they must take to Deity worship. By Deity worship he is elevated to the position of seeing the Lord within the heart. This is very important thing. You can seeHe is therebut you have no knowledge, or even if you have knowledge, you are not competent to see Him. But if you practice Deity worship...

It is the duty of the guru to engage his disciple in Deity worship, in cleansing the temple, dressing the Deity, decorating the Deity, so many engagements. So everyone should be engaged. If one is not competent to dress the Deityeveryone is competenthe can simply wash the temple and cleanse it. That will also help. There is no difference, that one who is cleansing the floor of the temple and one who is engaged directly in the Deity worship... There is no difference. They are all the same. Don't think that "I am engaged in cleansing the floor of the temple, and he is engaged in decorating the temple. I should be envious." No. There is no question of. Any kind of duty you are engaged... Sva-karmana tam abhyarcya [Bg. 18.46]. If you cannot do something which is hard for you, you do anything for Krsna under the direction of spiritual master, you'll get perfection. It is not that "I have to do this. I have to do that." No. Krsna's service is manyfold. If one is unable to take one kind of service, the spiritual master can give him another kind of service. But both the services are accepted by Krsna.
