Prabhupada, Bombay, March 24, 1974 — […] There is another speed, mind speed. We have experience of the light speed, of the air speed, but we do not know what is the mind speed. Mind speed is so strong that within a second you can go many millions of miles. Within a second.

And you can understand, if the mind speed is so strong, how much the speed of spirit is so strong. Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita, tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti kaunteya [Bg. 4.9] If you become fully conversant with Krishna consciousness, the result will be, tyaktva deham, just giving up this body, just immediately after death…. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti [Bg. 4.9].

Otherwise, those who are not Krishna conscious, they will accept another material body. Immediately they’ll have to enter into the womb of a mother, particular mother. Daiva-netrena. As soon as decision is made by superior power that, “This living entity has done such and such thing, he should be promoted or degraded. He should enter into such mother’s body through the semina of the father,” so immediately he’s given place in the material body of a mother.

But those who are Krishna conscious, immediately they are transferred where Krishna is there. This is the process. Immediately, by spiritual force…. Tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti kaunteya [Bg. 4.9]. Mam eti. “Immediately he comes to Me.” Krishna is there.

Within this material world He’s also there. In some of the universes. There are innumerable universes, I have already explained. Somewhere He is there. So a devotee just after giving this body, giving up this body, immediately he is transferred to that universe where Krishna is there.

And when he’s trained up, then he is, again, he’s transferred to the Goloka Vrindavana, the spiritual sky. These are the description of Sanatana Gosvami in Brhad-bhagavatamrta, how we are changing our body but because we are minute particle of Krishna we have got qualities of Krishna not cent percent.

Seventy-eight percent. When they are perfect, so minute quantity, then we can also become a little more advanced than at the present moment. But not like Krishna.

Krishna is cent percent perfect. We can become minutely perfect, seventy-eight percent. These are all analyzed by the Gosvamis. So in the present stage, our conditioned stage, there is no comparison with Krishna, what to speak of becoming Krishna.

The rascal foolish persons, they claim that they have become Krishna. It is not possible. This is the defect, that we forget. They ask so many the incarnation of God, about his past life. They cannot speak.

So this is the qualification of God. He knows past, present and future. Full Lecture
