SRILA
PRABHUPADA LILAMTRA AS IT IS
|
"I AM
THE KICKING GOD"
"I AM
THE SHOE BEATER GOD"
As
soon as somebody says, "I am God," kick him
on his
face. "Yes, you are God, I am God. I am the kicking God." (laughter)
That should be the answer. "I am the shoe-beater God. Now you
protect
yourself
if you are God."

So how one can
become God? Rascal. How one can become God. That is not possible.
God knows everything. If one knows everything, then you can accept
him as God. Otherwise, don't accept. As soon as somebody says, "I am
God," kick him on his face. "Yes, you are God, I am God. I am the
kicking God." (laughter) That should be the answer. "I am the
shoe-beater God. Now you protect yourself if you are God." Don't
accept this false God.
Krsna, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam. Krsnas tu bhagavan svayam. That is the verdict all... Just like Vyasadeva, the giver of the Vedic knowledge, he says, bhagavan uvaca: God says. So we have to follow that.

Lecture, 13.3, Paris, August 11, 1973]

Dear Prabhu's please accept my humble obeisance's. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please forgive my offences. I humbly request you to send any quotes from Srila Prabhupada which describe his transcendental qualities and pastimes. In this way together we may be able to compile a book for his glorification and our meditation on his exalted personality. Thank you. Your servant Mukunda dasa.
