Prabhupada, Los Angeles, June 26, 1975: So intelligent man should learn what is God from the Vedic information. Don’t manufacture God. Manufacture…, how we can manufacture God? That is not possible. So that is called mana-dharma.
By mental concoction, mental speculation, we cannot create God. Here is the definition of God, that, isavasyam idam sarvam yat kincid jagatyam jagat. Idam sarvam. Sarvam means whatever you see. You see the big Pacific Ocean.
That is created by God. It is not that He has created one Pacific Ocean, therefore His all chemicals, hydrogen and oxygen finished. No. There are millions and trillions of Pacific Ocean floating in the sky.
That is God’s creation. There are millions and trillions of planets floating in the sky, and there are millions and trillions of living entites, seas, and mountains, and everything, but there is no scarcity. Not only this universe, there are millions and trillions of universes. We get this information from the Vedic literatures,
yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anda-koti kotisv asesa-vasudhadi vibhuti-bhinnam tad brahma niskalam anantam asesa-bhutam govindam adi-purusam tam aham… [Bs. 5.40]
Try to understand the opulence of God. Just like yasya prabha prabhavato. Now, you can see. This is… Material science also accept that everything in this material world, they are generated by the heat and light of the sun.
So as you have got experience, on account of the sunlight the whole universe is going on—you have seen that machine, when that is heated, it is running—so similarly, the real shine is brahmajyoti, brahmajyoti, that impersonal Brahman. And in the impersonal Brahman there are… Yasya prabha prabhavato jagad-anda-koti [Bs. 5.40] There are millions of universes. As you have seen..
You are daily seeing, on the sunshine there are millions and trillions of planets floating, on account of the sunshine. They are rotating, everything. Similarly, the original sunshine is brahmajyoti. What is that brahmajyoti? Yasya prabha [Bs. 5.40]. It is the rays from the body of Krishna, Govinda, just like the sunshine is the rays of the body of the sun-god.
That we can see. If you do not see sun-god, at least you see the sun planet. So similarly, Krishna is there, and there is a Krishna-loka planet. And the Krishna-loka planet is distributing the shining. You see the sky is bluish because the rays of the body of Krishna is also bluish. And that is reflected in each universe. Therefore we see the sky bluish, Krishna’s color.
So in this way we have to understand what is God. God is not a petty thing, that He dies, or one is manufactured by meditation, he become God. This kind of God has no value. God is always God. Krishna, when He was a child, He had no opportunity to meditate. He was a child playing on the lap of His mother. Full Lecture
