We Are Sample God, Because We Are Part And Parcel Of God

[Gavin Swinden]

(We are part and parcel of God. You can study. You can understand what is the nature of God by studying yourself, because you are sample God. You are miniature, small God. Just like particle of gold is also a small particle—it is also gold, similarly, because we are part and parcel of God)

 

"One should be Kṛṣṇa conscious, or God conscious, why? Because He is the master of your self and the most intimate friend, suhṛt. Yathā ātmeśvara. Ātmeśvara means we are individual self and He is the original Superself. Just like we, for the present, we like this body, we love this body, why? Because the body is the production of the soul.

 

Without soul, there is no body. Just like a child born. If the soul is there, the child will grow. If the child is born dead, however chemically you can keep up that body, it will never grow. So that is the significance of the presence of the soul. So as the body grows on account of presence of the soul, similarly, the soul, individual soul, is the part and parcel of the Supreme Lord.

 

It is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā that mamaivāṁśo jīva-bhūtaḥ (BG 15.7 (1972)): "All these living entities, they are My part and parcel." We are part and parcel of God. You can study. You can understand what is the nature of God by studying yourself, because you are sample God. You are miniature, small God. Just like particle of gold is also a small particle—it is also gold, similarly, because we are part and parcel of God."

Dromedaries also experience Godhead in all ways, as He is the Energetic behind every atom. We cannot experience anything which is not Godhead, Purusottama, Janardana, Govinda. There is only He, revealed in varyng degrees as according to the desires and karma of the individuals exercising their free wills.
But the soul is blocked from his sat cit ananda status,, shadow-banned, cannot recall even his own identity under the powerful bewildering forces of mayadevi.
This is a most embarassing status, to be deep-dreaming in the heroin-like trance of the controllers of this material world. We are so degraded, we do not even remember who we are! We have to shake it off, not panic, but steadily strive for awakening to service and humbleness of true realization on our inheritance; love of God.
