<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Lecture on BG 3.27 -- Melbourne, June 27, 1974|Lecture on BG 3.27 -- Melbourne, June 27, 1974]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Guest (5): Prabhupāda, Lord Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā that when there is decline of true religion...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Guest (5): ...and when evil increases in the world, that He manifests Himself in a body, a human body, and comes to earth to rescue the human beings from their illusion.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Guest (5): Now these conditions exist today. Is He here in the human form or is He still to come?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, God has already come.</p>
<p>Guest (5): In what form?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: In the form of name, Hare Kṛṣṇa.</p>
<p>Guest (5): No, He said He manifests in a human form.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: God has human form, and God is everything. So if He comes in the form of sound, where is your objection? But God is everything. He can come as a human being, or He can come in the form of sound also. Because what is this human being? You are seeing a human being, this flesh. That is combination of matter, combination of matter, earth, water, fire, air, ether. This is combination. What you are seeing? Your eyes are also the combination. But the sound is ether. So if you accept earth as the form, where is your objection to accept ether? Because they are all material.</p>
<p>Guest (5): There are two objections. One is that He said, "I manifest in a human body," in a human body such as we have here, and also...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So that requires little intelligence, that anyone who is preaching the holy name of God, he is also God. Anyone who preaches the glories of God, he is also God.</p>
<p>Guest (5): Are you God?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I am servant of God.</p>
<p>Guest (5): But you're preaching the holy name of God?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that is my business.</p>
<p>Guest (5): But then, by your own words, you are God.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But that does not mean I am God, but I am equal to God. Or at least you should see like that. That is explained. A guru... That is explained.</p>
:sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstrair
:uktas tathā bhāvyata eva sadbhiḥ
:kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya
:vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam **
<p>Guru's position is like this. What is that? Sākṣād-dhari. He is God. Sākṣād-dhari. How he is Hari, God? No, samasta-śāstraiḥ: "In all revealed scriptures it is explained that 'Guru, the servant of God, the son of God, the preacher, he is God.' " Sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstrair uktaḥ: ** "It is said." Tathā bhāvyata eva sadbhiḥ: "Those who are intelligent, they accept like that." Then next line says, kintu. Why he is God? Kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya: "He is God because He is very, very dear to God." So as I said, in the absolute word, God and a person very dear to God, he is also God. But he does not think that he is God. He knows that he is servant of God. It requires little intelligence, spiritual intelligence, the Absolute, how the servant of God and God is the same. (break) Yes.</p>
