Story of the inexhaustible yogurt
Prabhupāda: "You take to your teacher and give it to him." "All right. This will do?" "Oh, yes, this will do.
This cup will do." Now, when the teacher saw that he is coming with a cup of yogurt and promised that he will supply..., he would supply, whatever required he would supply, oh, he became very angry: "You cheated me like that?" and so on.
So he, out of anger, he throw it. Now, after some time, when he came back, he saw that the yogurt is fallen down on the ground, but the pot is full. Then he tried again; again got it.
So as much as he could take, he took, but the pot is always full. The pot is always full.

God presence in all beings

I am not talking to you some manufactured, coining some word. No.

Invitation for student questions
The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.
All right. If there is any question, you can make. [end]
