	'''Prabhupāda:''' Read it anywhere. That's all. Yes.		'''Prabhupāda:''' Read it anywhere. That's all. Yes.

	Tamal Kṛṣṇa: Okay. "In the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' we are informed that the constitutional nature of the individual entity is spirit soul. He is not matter. Therefore, as spirit soul he is part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, the Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead. We also learn that it is the duty of the spirit soul to surrender, for only then he can be happy."		'''Tamal Kṛṣṇa:''' Okay.

Therefore, as spirit soul he is part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, the Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead. We also learn that it is the duty of the spirit soul to surrender, for only then he can be happy."

	"The last instruction of the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' is that the spirit soul is to surrender completely unto the Supreme Soul, Kṛṣṇa, and in that way realize happiness. Here also Lord Caitanya in answering the questions of Sanātana repeats the same truth, but without giving him information about the spirit soul which is already described in the ''Gītā''."

	Yes. Go on.		Yes. Go on.

	Tamal Kṛṣṇa: "He begins from the point where Kṛṣṇa ended His instruction. It is accepted by great devotees that Lord Caitanya is Kṛṣṇa Himself, and from the point where He ended His instruction in the ''Gītā'', He now begins His instruction again to Sanātana. The Lord said to Sanātana, 'Your constitutional position is that you are pure living soul. This material body is not the identity of your real self, neither is your mind your real identity, nor your intelligence, nor is false ego the real identity of the self. Your identity is that you are the eternal servitor of the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa.' "		'''Tamal Kṛṣṇa:''' "He begins from the point where Kṛṣṇa ended His instruction.

Your identity is that you are the eternal servitor of the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa.' "

	'''Prabhupāda:''' Now here is some important points, that in our self-realization, those who are grossly on the material platform, they think that this body, "I am this body. I am this body." Body means the senses; therefore my satisfaction means the satisfaction of the senses—sense gratification. This is the grossest form of self-realization. This body is also self. The body is self, the mind is self and the soul is also self. Self, the synonym. The body and the mind and the soul, both are . . . three of them are called self.

	Tamal Kṛṣṇa: " 'The superior energy of Kṛṣṇa is spiritual in constitution, and the inferior energy . . . external energy is material. You are between the material energy and the spiritual energy, and therefore your position is marginal. In other words, you belong to the marginal potency of Kṛṣṇa. You are simultaneously one with and different from Kṛṣṇa. Because you are spirit, therefore you are not different from Kṛṣṇa, but because you are only a minute particle of Kṛṣṇa, you are therefore different from Him.' "		'''Tamal Kṛṣṇa:''' " 'The superior energy of Kṛṣṇa is spiritual in constitution, and the inferior energy . . . external energy is material.

You are simultaneously one with and different from Kṛṣṇa. Because you are spirit, therefore you are not different from Kṛṣṇa, but because you are only a minute particle of Kṛṣṇa, you are therefore different from Him.' "

	'''Prabhupāda:''' Now here is one word used, "marginal potency." Marginal potency, the exact Sanskrit word is ''taṭasthā''. Just like at the end of the land, the sea begins. So there is a marginal land. Just you go on the coast of the Pacific beach, you'll find some land. Sometimes it is covered by water and sometimes it is open land. This is marginal. Similarly, we spirit soul, although we are constitutionally one with God, but sometimes we are covered by ''māyā'' and sometimes we are free. Therefore our position is marginal.

	'''Prabhupāda:''' Now this simultaneously one and different, just take the same example, land. Somebody says: "Oh, I saw that portion is water." And somebody says: "No. I saw that some portion is land." So simultaneously one and different. Simultaneously one and different.

	Tamal Kṛṣṇa: "The living entity is just like a molecular part of the sunshine, whereas Kṛṣṇa is compared to the blazing shining sun. Lord Caitanya compared the living entities to the blazing sparks from the fire and the Supreme Lord to the blazing fire of the sun. The Lord cites in this connection a verse from ''Viṣṇu Purāṇa'' in which it is stated that everything that is manifested within this cosmic world is but an energy of the Supreme Lord. For example, as the fire emanating from one place exhibits its illumination and heat all around, so the Lord, although situated in one place in the spiritual world, manifests His different energies everywhere."

	'''Prabhupāda:''' Now, this is very simple. Try to understand. Just like this fire, this lamp, is located at a certain place, but the illumination is distributed all over this room, similarly, whatever you see, display of this cosmic manifestation, they are display of the energy of the Supreme Lord.

	The Supreme Lord is situated in one place. That we cite in our ''Brahma-saṁhitā: govindam adi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi''. He's a person.

	If it is possible materially, similarly Kṛṣṇa, or God, the Supreme Person, He is situated in His place, abode, Vaikuṇṭha or kingdom of God, but His energy is acting. Another example, the sun. The sun is . . . . you can see sun is located at a certain place, but you see the sunshine is overflooding the whole universe. The sunshine is within your room.

	So similarly, whatever you are using, you yourself also, we are all display of the energy of the Supreme Lord. We are not different from Him. But when the cloud of ''māyā'', or illusion, covers my eyes, we cannot see the sun. Similarly, when the material concept of life covers me, we cannot understand what is God. We say "God is dead." So we have to uncover our eyes from this illusion. Then you'll see directly God, "Here is God." Yes.
