Krsna, the All-Attractive 13

SRILA PRABHUPADA: Just wire.

BOB: So if I build a statue of Krsna, it is not Krsna un-
less...

SRILA PRABHUPADA: It is Krsna. But you have to know the
process of understanding that it is Krsna. It is Krsna.
BOB: It is not just earth and mud.

SRILA PRABHUPADA: No. Earth has no separate existence
without Krsna. Krsna says, “‘My energy.” You cannot sepa-
rate the energy from the energetic. It is not possible. You
cannot separate heat from fire. But fire is different from the

heat; that does not mean you are touching fire. Fire, in spite
of emanating heat, keeps its identity. Similarly, although
Krsna, by His different energies, is creating everything, He
remains Krsna. The Mayavadi philosophers think that if
Krsna is everything, then Krsna’s separate identity is lost.

milk, little by little, when I finish, there is no more milk; it
has gone to my belly. Krsna is not like that. He is omnipo-
tent. We are utilizing His energy continually; still He is
there, present. Just like a man begetting children un-
limitedly, but the man is there. A crude example. It’s not
that because he has produced hundreds of children, he is
finished. So, similarly, God or Krsna, in spite of His un-
limited number of children, is there.

complete balance.” This is Krsna consciousness. Krsna is
never finished. Krsna is so powerful. Therefore He is
