	Prabhupada: Same thing. Sarvam khalv idam brahma. So jiva is also Brahman. It is same thing, but very small particle. That's all. You can understand the nature of God by studying the nature of jiva. It does not take much hard... He said, mamaivamso jiva-loke. Manah... Because now... He says, manah sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati [Bg. 15.7]. "So why he's struggling? Because he's depending on the mind and the senses. He's not depending upon Me." They are creating mental creation, concoction, and acting sensually. Therefore the normal condition... Just like this finger is part and parcel of my body, so it is the duty of the finger to act according to my desire. I ask the finger, "Please come here. I have some itchy feeling." If it cannot, then it is diseased. Similarly, the duty of the jiva is to serve Krsna. If he cannot, then he's diseased. And if you want to continue in diseased condition, that is your obstinacy. Yathecchasi tatha kuru: [Bg. 18.63] "Whatever you like, you do." Krsna says that "Now that I have spoken to you everything, now whatever you like, you do." And because Arjuna understood Him totally, he said, nasto mohah smrtir labdha karisye vacanam tava [Bg. 18.73]. This is Gita's verse. "I'll do what You say." That is all. And He says also, sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam... [Bg. 18.66]. So if you do that, then your life is perfect. If you don't do that, then rot. Aprapya mam nivartante mrtyu-samsara-vartmani. Asraddadhanah purusa dharmasyasya parantapa: [Bg. 9.3] "One who does not hear Me and what I am speaking, this Bhagavad-gita -- he has no faith -- then he does not get Me." Then what is the result if one does not...? No, nivartante mrtyu-samsara-vartmani: "Then he returns back again in the cycle of birth and death, sometimes cat, sometimes demigod, sometimes this..." Go on. Bhutva bhutva praliyate [Bg. 8.19]. Become something, remain for some time. Then again you become something else and jump like dog: "I belong to his nation. I belong to this community. I belong..." Sva-vid-varahostra-kharaih samstutah purusah pasuh [SB 2.3.19]. He remains animal, and another big animal becomes his leader. This is going on.		Prabhupada: Same thing.
