God is omnipotent in this way. I do not know what is pains and pleasure is going on within your body. That is not possible for me to understand. Neither you can understand what pains and pleasure I am feeling. But God knows. God knows the pains and pleasure of your body; He knows pains and pleasure of my body.

I think, last night there was a question where, "So what is the difference between God and ourself?" I replied that on this verse, that . . . just like you are the proprietor of your body; I am the proprietor of my body. I know the business and affairs of my body, you know the business and affairs of your body. You do not know the business and affairs of my body, I do not know the business and affairs of your body. This is living entity. But God, He knows your business, your affairs of the body, and he knows my business and affairs of the body. That is God. That is the difference between. That will be explained in the next verse.

So God is omnipotent in this way. I do not know what is pains and pleasure is going on within your body. That is not possible for me to understand. Neither you can understand what pains and pleasure I am feeling. But God knows. God knows the pains and pleasure of your body; He knows pains and pleasure of my body. That is the difference between God and ourself.

So the problem . . . here it is said that, "Try to understand what you are. Are you this body, or you are something separate from the body?" We are separate, from the very beginning of the Bhagavad-gītā. The first lesson given to Arjuna was this:

<div class="quote_verse">
:aśocyān anvaśocas tvaṁ
:prajñā-vādāṁś ca bhāṣase
:gatāsūn agatāsūṁś ca
:nānuśocanti paṇḍitāḥ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 2.11 (1972)|BG 2.11]])
</div>

Arjuna was hesitating to fight, "How can I kill my nephew, my brother, my grandfather," and so on, so on. So Kṛṣṇa was instructing him that, "It is your duty. As a kṣatriya, when there is battle, you should fight. You should not deviate from your duty." That was the conversation was going on. But Arjuna was thinking only in terms of this body. "He is my grandfather. He is my brother. He is my countryman. He is my this." Why? Because they have got some bodily relation.
