Umapati: [rephrasing question from devotee] The question was that Krsna had said that He would not take part in the Battle of Kuruksetra, but later on He did. So He had actually changed His word. So does the devotee also sometimes do that — say one thing but later on change his mind?

Prabhupada: You are not Krsna. [laughing] You are servant of Krsna. Don’t try to imitate the master. That is folly. You are servant, you remain always servant. Don’t try to imitate the master. Krsna has lifted the hill. Can you do that [laughing] by imitation? Don’t try to imitate. Follow His instruction. That is wanted. Krsna can do anything. He is God.
