Nowadays you see so many varieties of dress. Anyway . . . as it is practical, because we have got varieties of desires, we dress ourselves in different fashionable clothes. So this varieties of life mean they have different desires, and Kṛṣṇa is fulfilling their desires. Ye yathā māṁ prapadyante ([[Vanisource:BG 4.11 (1972)|BG 4.11]]).

Kṛṣṇa is very kind. He has given us little independence; thus people interpret fully independent. But according to our proportionate existence we have to use that independence. The same example: the drop of water, seawater, it contains the same amount of chemicals . . . not the same amount, proportionate to the volume. So the drop, it does not . . . minimum quantity, proportionate like that, the ingredients, as the ocean.

As the ocean is big, therefore the quantity of salt is also big; and the drop of ocean water, because it is small, therefore it is small grain, proportionation. So we can fulfill our desire also in proportion. Not that I am a small quantity of seawater, and I possess million tons of salt. That is not possible. This is most unscientific. You can possess according to the proportion of your existence of the . . . (indistinct)

Because we are part and parcel of God, therefore we are also have got the same chemicals, but not proportionally the same quantity. That is the difference. This is Caitanya Mahāprabhu's philosophy: acintya bheda bheda, simultaneously one and different. One, because containing the same, er, chemically. One, the same drop of seawater—but not one, because sea is very large, and small drop is small. So we have got the desire.

So our desires, the large quantity of desires. A drop of water, if it remains in the sea, then it has the facility to possess the same quantity. And if you remain aside, then the quantity will to . . . those . . . bhogaiśvarya-prasaktānāṁ tayāpahṛta-cetasām ([[Vanisource:BG 2.44 (1972)|BG 2.44]]). Those who are . . . position is very small but wants to enjoy like Kṛṣṇa, they are rascals. Position is very small proportionately, but want to enjoy like Kṛṣṇa, they are fools.
