To become God is not easy thing. There are some qualification, yesterday we discussed, that He must be the richest, He must be the most powerful, He must be the most famous, He must be the most learned, He must be the most beautiful, and He must be the most renounced. This is the definition of God. A poor man, begging from door to door, he cannot become God, as it is misconceived, daridra-narayana. Why Narayana can be daridra? What is this nonsense? He is the richest. He is the richest. And why He can, He will be daridra? The argument is forwarded that "God is in everyone's heart; therefore everyone is God." What is this argument? Everyone's heart, God is there. God said, isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati [Bg. 18.61]. Where God says that because isvara, the Supreme Being, is situated in everyone's heart, therefore everyone is God? What is this argument? Where Krsna says that because isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese 'rjuna tisthati [Bg. 18.61], therefore everyone is God? Is that very sound argument?   (More...)

So here also, Krsna is described as Vaikuntha. If one takes shelter of Krsna, then he also become Vaikuntha. Samasrita ye pada-pallava-plavam. He becomes assured of his safety. Krsna is Vaikuntha. So prthaya ittham kala-padaih. And we should not try to insult God. We should try to glorify God in glorified language. That I already explained. Uttama-sloka-gunanuvadat. Don't try to speak nonsense and describe God. No. God is never daridra. How He can be daridra? If you describe daridra-narayana, it is a blasphemy. No. Uttama-sloka. Just like Kunti has described, krsna-sakha: "You are the friend of Arjuna." That is the proper explanation. Gopi, gopi-vallabha: "Krsna, You are always prepared to please the gopis." Yasoda-nandana. Yasoda-nandana vraja-jana-ranjana. These are the description. "Krsna, You are the son of Yaso..." Krsna takes pride. Krsna, when His name is attached with the activities of a devotee, He becomes very much pleased. But sometimes Krsna is called Kamsa-nisudana, Madhusudana, Kamsari. That is also Krsna's pleasure. He appears to be enemy, Kamsari, to the demons.   (More...)

So how this can be possible? This suhrdah sarva-dehinam is possible when one has surrendered himself to the Supreme Being. On His account, because he has surrendered to the Supreme Being, he is friend to all living being. Artificially you cannot. Artificially you select some section, the poorer section, and worship him like Narayana, and you call him daridra-narayana. But a devotee, if he has got vision of Narayana, he will see the daridra-narayana, the rich Narayana, the chaga-narayana, and the every Narayana, panditah sama-darsinah [Bg. 5.18]. Why a section should be called Narayana? If you have got such broader vision, that you are seeing Narayana in everything, then what the rich man has done? He is also Narayana. And the goat has... He is also Narayana. The cow, he is also Narayana. Then you should... If you have such broader vision, that you see everywhere Narayana, then why should you specify a section, daridra-narayana?   (More...)

So everyone can possess that status of life. So this is niscaya. If we understand Krsna philosophy, Krsna consciousness, rightly, then there will be no doubt by intelligence. Without intelligence, nobody can understand Krsna philosophy. Dull-headed, poor fund of knowledge, they cannot understand Krsna. Therefore Krsna says, bahunam janmanam ante jnanavan [Bg. 7.19]. Actually, those who are thinking they are jnanis, they are not jnanis. They are still in maya, darkness, because they think that they have finished their business; now they have become liberated. They have become Narayana. Instead of separate Narayana, each, every one them, is Narayana. They address amongst themselves, "Narayana." That is their foolishness. At least you must show the four hands of Narayana. Where is your four hand? You are begging, and you are Narayana? What kind of Narayana you are? Now daridra-narayana they have manufactured. "Yes, I am Narayana, but daridra-narayana." But we do not know daridra-narayana. Narayana is Laksmi-Narayana. He is the husband of Laksmi.   (More...)
