You take a piece of paper and cut it into pieces and throw it all over, then the original paper is lost. There is no more. That is material. But Kṛṣṇa . . . Kṛṣṇa, He is expanded. Eko bahu syām (Chandogya Upanishad 6.2.3). The Lord said, "I shall become many." Many; still He is there.

If you offer something to Kṛṣṇa, He eats the offering. It is not that He's not eating. He is eating, but at the same time keeping it for you as it was offered. He's not like us. If you give me something to eat, I'll finish the whole plate. Kṛṣṇa is not like that. (laughter) Kṛṣṇa - the atheist will say that He has not eaten. No, He has eaten. And that is Kṛṣṇa.

That is stated in the Vedas, pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate ([[Vanisource:ISO (1974) Invocation|Īśo Invocation]]). Kṛṣṇa, expanding Himself into millions, still, He remains a Kṛṣṇa, the same Kṛṣṇa. It is not that material thing. If you take a material thing, anything, if you divide it into millions portion, then original form is finished. There is no more. You take a piece of paper and cut it into pieces and throw it all over, then the original paper is lost. There is no more. That is material. But Kṛṣṇa . . . Kṛṣṇa, He is expanded. Eko bahu syām (Chandogya Upanishad 6.2.3). The Lord said, "I shall become many." Many; still He is there. Is not because He has become many, therefore His original person is finished. No. That is the injunction in the Vedas: pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya pūrṇam eva avaśiṣyate ([[Vanisource:ISO (1974) Invocation|Īśo Invocation]]). He remains still pūrṇa. One minus thousand times one is still one. That is absolute. Absolute Truth means the truth never diminishes or never becomes relative or conditional. That is Absolute Truth.
