Prabhupada, March 14, 1975, Iran: […] God is also Supreme Being and we are also being, so as being, we are one, but as Supreme, He is different. That is the right conclusion. You are not Supreme Being. You are being controlled by the Supreme Being. You cannot say that you are independent. Therefore you are not Supreme. You are dependent on Him. Eko hi yasya vidadhati kaman, bahunam vidadhati kaman. He maintains. Just like this coconut. God has given us this coconut fruit to enjoy or to live upon it. But I cannot create this coconut. It is not possible.
Therefore, for my maintainance He has sent this coconut. So He is maintainer; I am maintained, although He is being; I am also being. He is maintainer being; I am maintained being. This is the right conclusion. No scientist… He can talk so many things about this coconut, but unfortunately he cannot manufacture this coconut. That is not possible. He can manufacture something subordinate—chairs, table—but not this coconut. Not possible.
Guest: They – some scientists they manufactures this coconut.
Prabhupada: Where is that foolish scientist?
Guest: No, let us see. Someday some scientist manufactures this.
Prabhupada: “Someday”? Where? Where? Where?
Guest: No, I am assuming.
Prabhupada: Assuming.
Guest: One day he manufactures that. Then what? All this theory is gone?
Prabhupada: No, we say he cannot.
