<p>Kīrtanānanda: The potency is in the sun.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is big, not the Brahmān. And within the sun globe there is sun-god, Vivasvān. They do not know all these. They think the sunshine is the...</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpa: The sun is different than Vivasvān?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Not different. Just like the sunshine is not different from the sun globe. Sun globe means all the inhabitants there, they are glowing. Therefore the whole planet is glowing.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpa: Vivasvān, he is...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: He is also glowing.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpa: He will stay as long as the sun... He is present?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, he has got a duration of life. When the creation will be annihilated he'll be annihilated. He'll be not annihilated. Nobody is annihilated, but he's not manifest, nonmanifest. He is demigod. The demigods, with the annihilation of the material world, they will be all finished. But Kṛṣṇa will remain there. Aham eva āsam agre. And He will be remained. He was in the beginning of creation, and at the end of creation He'll be there.</p>
<p>Guru-kṛpa: Prabhupāda, in the Bhāgavatam, it is mentioned, sarva-devāmayo guruḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 11.17.27|SB 11.17.27]]). What is the meaning?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: "Guru is the representation of all Gods and demigods."</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: Prabhupāda, in Vṛndāvana you were explaining about the sun, that the sun is not fire, but the living entities there have glowing bodies. So how do they glow? You said it was not the glow of the soul, but it was...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: How do you not glow? How? God has made you not glowing, and He has made them glowing. That's all. Sarva-kāraṇa-kāraṇam (Bs. 5.1).</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: I mean to say is there a difference between...? Just like we have fire here, is it different from the glowing there? You said the sun is not fire.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm. No, no, without fire how there can be glow?</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: So they have fiery bodies.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Haṁsadūta: But when we see fire here it is also living in that way? Some living entity?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Within fire? Yes. That is agni-po. Just like you have got microbes and germs in water, similarly, there are microbes and germs in fire also. Acchedyo 'yam adāhyo 'yam. That is explained in the Bhagavad-gītā, adāhyaḥ. "It is not burned by fire." Everything, information, is there. And therefore our knowledge is perfect. Take from the perfect source of knowledge. Acchedyo 'yam adāhyo 'yam aśleṣya, aśoṣya. (end)</p>
