We already
have power, because each of us is a part and parcel of God. Therefore we have
qualities like God’s. But we cannot become one hundred percent God. That
is not possible. Great Vedic scholars have analyzed all the demigods and other
living entities and have found that only Krishna is one hundred percent God.
Ete camsa-kalah pumsah krishnas tu bhagavan svayam. All others are subordinate.
There are many other gods, but they are not the Supreme God. Ishvarah paramah
krishnah.
We are
speaking of the paramah ishvarah, or paramesvara. There are two words: ishvara,
paramesvara; atma, paramatma. The param—supreme—is God. We are Brahman; He is
Parabrahman. So Parabrahman, Paramatma, Paramesvara—all these are applicable to
Krishna.
After
hearing the Bhagavad-gita, Arjuna admitted,
param brahma
param dhama pavitram paramam bhavan
purusam sasvatam divyam adi-devam ajam vibhum
purusam sasvatam divyam adi-devam ajam vibhum
“You are the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, the ultimate abode, the purest, the Absolute
Truth. You are the eternal, transcendental, original person, the unborn, the
greatest.” That is the position of Krishna.
