So that is your mistake, that you are thinking, 'God has got a body like me. He requires eating for nourishing it'. That is your foolishness. Aṅgāni yasya sakalendriya-vṛttimanti. His body is so made that He can perform any limb's work by another limb. Just like we can see with the eyes. As soon as close the eyes, we cannot see. But Kṛṣṇa can see by His ear. As soon as you pray to Kṛṣṇa, immediately He sees you, 'Oh, here is My devotee', by hearing the sound of your prayer." |

Anyway, you remain strong. Don't be intimidated by this (indistinct). That is my request. |
