You are searching after God. You are taxing your brain so much. But in spite of taxing your brain, you say sometimes that “There is no God,” or “God is dead,” or “Everyone is God,” and so on, so on. But our proposition is that why you are taxing your brain?

Here is God. Here is God, Krsna — by authorities, by Vedic version, by His activities. If we read life of Krsna, we can see that He’s Krsna, God, from the very beginning of His birth. God is not manufactured by some mystic power. God is God, and dog is dog. A dog cannot become God; God cannot become dog. That is the difference.

So Krsna was God from the very beginning. As soon as Krsna took birth, He appeared in four-handed visnu-murti. But when He was prayed by His mother to become an ordinary child, He became an ordinary child with two hands. So that is God, from the very beginning.
