100 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

Godhead, his power was nothing. The scientists of the material world have
discovered wonders such as atomic weapons, and when tested in a city or
insignificant place on this planet, such powerful weapons create so-called
havoc, but if the atomic weapons are tested on the sun, what is their
significance? They are insignificant there. Similarly, Brahma’s stealing the
calves and boys from Sri Krsna may be a wonderful display of mystic
power, but when Sri Krsna exhibited His expansive power in so many
calves and boys and maintained them without effort, Brahma could under-
stand that his own power was insignificant.

Brahma addressed Lord Krsna as Acyuta because the Lord is never
forgetful of a little service rendered by His devotee. He is so kind and
affectionate towards His devotees that a little service by them is accepted
by Him as a great deal. Brahm has certainly rendered much service to the
Lord. As the supreme personality in charge of this particular universe, he
is, without a doubt, a faithful servant of Krsna; therefore he could appease
Krsna. He asked that the Lord understand him as a subordinate servant
whose little mistake and impudence might be excused. He admitted that
he was puffed up by his powerful position as Lord Brahma. Because he is
the qualitative incarnation of the mode of passion within this material
world, this was natural for him, and therefore he committed the mistake.
But after all, Lord Krsna would kindly take compassion upon His sub-
ordinate and excuse him for his gross mistake.

Lord Brahmi realized his actual position. He is certainly the supreme
teacher of this universe, in charge of the production of material nature
consisting of complete material elements, false ego, sky, air, fire, water
and earth. Such a universe may be gigantic, but it can be measured, just as
we measure our body as seven cubits. Generally everyone’s personal
bodily measurement is calculated to be seven cubits of his hand. This
particular universe may appear as a very gigantic body, but it is nothing
but the measurement of seven cubits for Lord Brahma. Aside from this
universe, there are unlimited other universes which are outside the juris-
diction of this particular Lord Brahma. Just as innumerable atomic
infinitesimal fragments pass through the holes of a screened window, so
millions and trillions of universes in their seedling form are coming out
from the bodily pores of Maha-Visnu, and that Maha-Visnu is but a part
of the plenary expansion of Krsna. Under these circumstances, although
Lord Brahma is the supreme creature within this universe, what is his
importance in the presence of Lord Krsna?

Lord Brahma therefore compared himself to a little child within the
womb of his mother. If the child within the womb plays with his hands
