Srila Prabhupada, Los Angeles, November 27, 1968: […] The aquatics, they have no disturbance in the water because their body is made like that. They can live there peacefully. You cannot live. Similarly, the fishes, if you take them out of the water, they cannot live. Similarly, because you are spirit soul, you cannot live peacefully in this material world. This is foreign.

But as soon as you enter into the spiritual world, your life is eternal, blissful and full of knowledge, real peace. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti [Bg. 4.9]. Krishna says, “After leaving this body, he does not come to this perplexities of material world.” Mam eti, “He comes to Me.”

“Me” means His kingdom, His paraphernalia, His associates, everything. If some rich man or some king says, “All right, you come to me,” that does not mean that he’s impersonal. If a king says, “Come to…” means that he has got his palace, he has got his secretary, he has got his nice apartment, everything is there.

How he can be imperson? But he says only, “Come to me.” This “me” means everything. This “me” does not mean impersonal. And we get information from Brahma-samhita, laksmi-sahasra-sata-sambhrama-sevyamanam surabhir abhipalayantam [Bs. 5.29]. So He’s not impersonal.

He’s raising cows, He’s with hundreds and thousands of goddesses of fortune, His friends, His paraphernalia, His kingdom, His house, everything is there. So there is no question of impersonalism.
