Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

God has got this gigantic universal body, and God has got another body, which is smaller than yourself. It can sit down within your body. That is called smaller than the smallest. We are smallest. God is great, but still God can become smaller than the smallest and at the same time He can become bigger than the biggest. That is God.

Guest (2): (indistinct) . . . a particle in total sits within myself, therefore it is within the realms of myself . . . (indistinct) . . . totality, as the total sits within itself, as I interpret what you say. Is that true what I say?

Prabhupāda: It is very difficult to understand.

(aside) What does he say? (laughter)

Guest (2): That it is within your power, so I am a particle, I agree. But within my particle sits the totality of the God . . .

Prabhupāda: How within the particle?

Guest (2): (indistinct) . . . said all things are within the grandeur of God.

Prabhupāda: Yes, yes.

Guest (2): . . . and therefore . . .

Prabhupāda: That is God's power. He can live within and without.

Guest (2): . . . within my power to help the totality.

Prabhupāda: Yes. That is described in the Vedas: aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān (Kaṭha Upaniṣad 1.2.20). God has got this gigantic universal body, and God has got another body, which is smaller than yourself. It can sit down within your body. That is called smaller than the smallest. We are smallest. God is great, but still God can become smaller than the smallest and at the same time He can become bigger than the biggest. That is God. Omnipotency.
