Text 10] The Process of Devotional Service 325
PURPORT

The personal expansions are known as visnu-tattva, and the separated expan-
sions are known as jiva-tattva. Although the jivas (living entities) are part and
parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they are still counted among His
multi-potencies. This is fully described in Bhagavad-gita:

apareyam itas tv anyam
prakrtim viddhi me param
jiva-bhatam maha-baho
yayedam dharyate jagat
“Besides this inferior nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, there is a superior energy of
Mine, which consists of all living entities who are struggling with material nature
and are sustaining the universe.” (Bg. 7.5)

Although the living entities are Krsna’s parts and parcels, they are prakrti, not
purusa. Sometimes prakrti (a living entity) attempts to imitate the activities of the
purusa. Due to a poor fund of knowledge, living entities conditioned in this ma-
terial world claim to be God. They are thus illusioned. A living entity cannot be on
the level of a visnu-tattva, or the Personality of Godhead, at any stage; therefore it
is ludicrous for a living entity to claim to be God. Advanced spiritualists would
never accept such a thing. Such claims are made to cheat ordinary, foolish people.
The Krsna consciousness movement declares war against such bogus incarna-
tions. The bogus propaganda put out by people claiming to be God has killed God
consciousness all over the world. Members of the Krsna consciousness movement
must be very alert to defy these rascals who are presently misleading the whole
world. One such rascal, known as Paundraka, appeared before Lord Krsna, and the
Lord immediately killed him. Of course, those who are Krsna’s servants cannot kill
such imitation gods, but they should try their best to defeat them through the evi-
dence of sastra, authentic knowledge received through the disciplic succession.
