	''Parama'' means supreme controller. He controls everyone, but He is not controlled by anyone. If you find out somebody . . . don't accept cheap God. Now there has be . . . become a fashion so many Gods or incarnations of Gods are coming. But here is the factual definition, that God is He who is not controlled by anyone. Therefore God is great.

But here is the factual definition, that God is He who is not controlled by anyone. Therefore God is great. Nobody can be greater than Him, nobody can be equal to Him. That is the shortcut definition of God.

	So that definition is given in the Vedic literature that the supreme God, or the supreme controller, is Kṛṣṇa—''īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ''. But we are seeing controller, they have got a material body. But immediately the Vedic injunction is that ''sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ''. God's body is sat, ''cit'', ''ānanda''. Three things are there. These are transcendental qualities. Sat means eternal, ''cit'' means full of knowledge and . . . ''sat-cid-ananda''. And not dry, speculative knowledge, but ''ānanda''.

	We are also part and parcel of God, therefore we are also hankering after blissful life, full of pleasure. But we are being hampered due to this material body. We are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa. We are always . . . this whole struggle for existence is an hankering how to become blissful. We are trying. Everyone in this city, London city, they are working so hard. Why? "How I shall become blissful, happy?" That is real human life. Everywhere, not only here. But there are different classes of men who are trying to be happy in different ways. They are classified in four division.		We are also part and parcel of God, therefore we are also hankering after blissful life, full of pleasure. But we are being hampered due to this material body.
