Prabhupada gave an analogy which applies to everyone of us. He said “within existence, material creation within the Mahtattva is very a insignificant part and within the Mahatattva, within the cosmic manifestation, the particular universe we live in is just a tiny speck, it’s one of the smallest universes. Caitanya Caritamrita explains and this is all inconceivable, how many of you really believe it? But why not?
When Brahma came to Dwarka, to meet Krsna and Krsna wanted to teach Brahma how insignificant He was! That is part of being devotes, to realize how insignificant you are. So Lord Brahma comes and Krsna assistant comes into the quarter and says “Brahma is here to meet you” and Krsna asked non chalantly “ask which Brahma?” How many Brahma, there is only one Brahma in the universe, so “which Brahma? Which Brahma? No other Brahma, there is no one else like me, the four headed Brahma”, so Krsna at that time called other Brahmas from other universes to Dwarka and then He said “okay, now you can get the four headed Brahma”. The four headed Brahma, who is the father of all living entities within the universe comes in and he sees an eight headed Brahma, because Brahma has heads according to the size of universe he is controlling and he saw a Brahma with eight heads, there was one with sixteen heads, one with 32 heads, one with 64 heads, one with 108 Brahma, very auspicious and then he saw Brahmas with thousand heads, ten thousand heads, hundred thousand heads, millions of heads.
For Brahma saw this, four headed Brahma, and he felt like a little insect in a herd of elephants and he was very humble and they were going and putting their heads on Krsna’s lotus feet. They are all surrendering to Krsna and Krsna said “Alright, very good, just always remember me, never forget me and tell me if any demons come, now you can go back to your universes” and they all went back to their universes, then little four headed Brahma, understood his position and that little four headed Brahma happens to be able to see the whole universe with his eyes, that’s the kind of eyes God has given him, he sees the four directions and he lives 311 trillion years and he realized he was totally insignificant.

We have to put our faith in the word of God to understand and in order to understand the word of God, we must have conviction that through our limited mental, intellectual, sensual experiences, we cannot understand the inconceivable nature of the Lord, the inconceivable nature of all of His energies, including this external energy we are living in.

high on KRSNA..!!
