Parameśvara is everywhere. Yet, with our intellect, mind, senses, and all our powers, we strive to run and search for Him. Parameśvara is unmoving and omnipresent, but we, with all our faculties, strive to reach Him. We sing, "Will you come, will you come, just for once, will you come?" But God says, "Who should come? I am there." We sing, "Will you come, will you come?" and God asks, "Who should come?" He says, "I am sitting here and you are inviting somebody else. You have a guest at home, a very dear one, and you have a very important meeting and he is sitting beside you. And now you telephone and say, 'Will you come or not?' He is sitting beside you. That is my God. What happened to him? Or will he be offended? 'I am here, who do you call?'" That is our situation. You are the one calling, but He is there. This is our biggest problem. We have, but we think we do not have. We have, but we think we do not have. And what we do not have, we think we have. We have God within us, but we think He is not here. That is why we say we love God. God is in us, but we do not know it, and that is why we sing, "Do you want to come, do you want to come?" We do not have any problems, but we think we have problems. God is surprised that "I am here and you do not care about me." And you do not have a problem, but you always say that you have a problem. It is very confusing. This can only be understood by one who is confused. Yes. Jesus said, "You have to die to live." Jesus said, "If you want to live, you have to die." Mahāprabhujī said this is a sermon, and that is very true. Mahāprabhujī also heard something sung in the sermon, which is very true. Through our body and mind, through our indriyas, and through all our power, we try to realize God, to come to Him. We try our best to get closer to God with our body, mind, and soul. Perhaps we are searching for the end of something. God is endless. Therefore, He is unmovable, immovable, but He is everywhere, faster than our mind. There is one story about Kṛṣṇa. Nārada came to Kṛṣṇa and said, "Kṛṣṇa, I do not understand this, all your līlās, what you are doing. You have 16,000 gopīs. 16,000 queens. How do you manage or maintain, and what relation do you have with them? How do you manage this?" He said, "Well, better you should ask them. So they can tell you how it is." Nārada said, "Because I heard that you are everywhere at the same time. How do you do this?" He said, "Go and ask. Let me have my pūjā, meditation." Nārada goes to the next door. He knocks on the door and goes in, but he sees Kṛṣṇa sleeping there. Immediately he goes to the next door, the opposite door. Kṛṣṇa is eating. He goes to the third door. He is just bathing. So he went about ten, fifteen doors, and he sees Kṛṣṇa everywhere. He made his eyes like this and looked again, and whenever he comes out of the door, he looks through the corridor into the garden where Kṛṣṇa is sitting there. Nārada came back. Kṛṣṇa said, "16,000 visiting was too quick. Did he go to all the 16,000 doors?" Nārada said, "Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa, Nārāyaṇa ... " That is the divine. Everywhere. You go and look in any heart, He is inside. So the heart is the gopīs. The heart is the gopīs. And the ātman is Kṛṣṇa. The ātman is Kṛṣṇa. In that heart there is no love. There is no Kṛṣṇa. That heart is an empty heart; it is a nest, but the birds have flown away. The doubts. --- Recording location: Hungary, Vep, Summer seminar
