I become immediately expanded throughout My body

Prabhupada: Wherever there is sun, there is sunlight, immediately. Where there is light, immediately there is illumination. Just like a drop of poison. You just take a drop of poison; as soon as it touches the tongue, immediately it expands all over the whole body and it make the whole blood, water, dead. How it expands, a small grain of potassium cyanide? Simply a grain, immediately, second. If a material thing can have so much effect immediately, the spiritual atom cannot do that? That is called science.

Similarly, the biggest spiritual identity, Krsna, He can become all-pervading. We are particle spiritual, spark. We have got limited power. [indistinct] Yena sarvam idam tatam [Bg 2.17], "I become immediately expanded throughout My body." And He is unlimitedly big. So how much His consciousness is distributed all over the world? Sarva-jna.

Therefore Krsna is not abhijna. Svarat. Janmady asya yato 'nvayad itaratas carthesv abhijnaḥ svarat. This example is nice. A grain of potassium cyanide is sufficient. There is no taste. The chemical characteristic of potassium cyanide, they have not mentioned the taste, because as soon as there is taste-finished. They cannot... [laughter] He cannot say whether it is pungent or sweet. [laughter] Finished. So there is no taste. [end]
