Prabhupada, Los Angeles, December 16, 1968: […] Yes. Just as a person is in family, he is father, in office, he is boss, and in some other place, he’s something else. But the same man. But because we are materially conditioned, when I am in the office, I’m not in my home. While I am acting as boss in my office, I cannot act as father with children at home. I am absent. This is due to my material condition. But Krishna, being full spiritual, He can remain in His abode, Goloka Vrindavana, at the same time, He can remain everywhere.
That is expansion. Just like Krishna is living within your heart. Isvarah sarva-bhutanam hrd-dese ’rjuna tisthati [Bg. 18.61] The Supreme Lord is staying in everyone’s heart. In the Brahma-samhita it is stated, goloka eva nivasaty akhilatma-bhutah [Bs. 5.37] This is spiritual position, that even though He is in His abode permanently, He can remain in everyone’s heart, all over the creation. Not only in the heart, but within every atom also.
This is His expansion, plenary expansion. He expands… We are also His expansion. We living entities, we are also His expansion. Nothing exists without being Krishna. That is explained in the Ninth Chapter. Maya tatam idam sarvam. “I have expanded in all different atmosphere.” Sarvam. Mat-sthani sarva-bhutani. “Everything existing in Me.” Naham tesu avasthitah. “But I am not there. I am not there.”
You are existing in Krishna, but unless you have Krishna consciousness, Krishna is not in you. But you are existing in Krishna. You cannot exist without Krishna. So therefore Krishna is everywhere, Krishna is in everything. We have to develop that consciousness. That will make me happy. Full Lecture
