Even before death, a pure devotee has no material affection, due to his body's being spiritualized like a red-hot iron in contact with fire
SB 1.6.27, Purport: That is the sign of spiritually enriched persons. And in due course of time, when a pure devotee is completely prepared, all of a sudden the change of body occurs which is commonly called death. And for the pure devotee such a change takes place exactly like lightning, and illumination follows simultaneously. That is to say a devotee simultaneously changes his material body and develops a spiritual body by the will of the Supreme. Even before death, a pure devotee has no material affection, due to his body's being spiritualized like a red-hot iron in contact with fire.
Therefore change of the body means stoppage of the reaction of three qualitative modes of material nature upon the pure devotee

When you are expert in becoming the servant of the servant of the servant of the servant of the Lord—hundred times down, servant—then you are perfect.
But here everyone is trying to become the Supreme Lord.
Somebody is misusing the word "so 'ham," "ahaṁ brahmāsmi," and therefore "I am the Supreme." But that is not. These are Vedic words, but so 'ham does not mean "I am God."
"So 'ham" means "I am also the same quality." Because mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ (BG 15.7), jīva is the part and parcel of God, Kṛṣṇa, so the quality is the same. Just like you take a drop of water from the sea. So the chemical composition of the whole water of the sea and a drop of water—the same. That is called "so 'ham" or "brahmāsmi". Not that we misuse these words, Vedic version, and I think falsely that "I am God. I have become God."
