Text 32] Conversation Between Manu and Kardama 837
business or by profession and spend at least fifty percent of his income to
spread Krsna consciousness; twenty-five percent he can spend for his
family, and twenty-five percent he should save to meet emergencies. This
example was shown by Ripa Gosvami, so devotees should follow it.

Actually, to be one with the Supreme Lord means to be one with the
interest of the Lord. Becoming one with the Supreme Lord does not imply
becoming as great as the Supreme Lord. It is impossible. The part is never
equal to the whole. The living entity is always a minute part. Therefore his
oneness with the Lord is that he is interested in the one interest of the
Lord. The Lord wants every living entity to always think about Him, to be
His devotee and always worship Him. This is clearly stated in Bhagavad-
gitd: man-mand bhava mad-bhaktah. Krsna wants everyone to always think
of Him. Everyone should always offer obeisances to Krsna. This is the will
of the Supreme Lord, and devotees should try to fulfill His desire. Since
the Lord is unlimited, His desire is also unlimited. There is no stoppage,
and therefore the service of the devotee is also unlimited. In the transcen-
dental world there is unlimited competition between the Lord and the
servitor. The Lord wants to fulfill His desires unlimitedly, and the devotee
also serves Him to fulfill His unlimited desires. There is an unlimited
oneness of interest between the Lord and His devotee.
