One drop is the same as the ocean in quality, not in quantity. today, i have a terrible toothache. If i were God i would be able to regenerate by Gum and tooth and get rid of this toothache but I am not. i will have to extract it. i am getting old. Eventually my material body will grow weaker and eventually die, my spirit will go on. Krishna's body never deteriorates or grows old, He is always 16 years old and is always playing His Flute in the forest.

@MRobe91000 con't ......i have to be content with being patient.

[MRobe91000]

Yes, the ocean is in the drop but the drop is not the ocean. The drop has only qualities of the ocean. the ocean can kill you, the drop cannot.

@MRobe91000 - The Universal Consciousness is being expressed through the individual consciousness. They are one and the same, only differing in degree. Another example is Electricity, when reduced through transformers it becomes suitable to light up all the lightbulbs in the city.

@goldie0800 interesting that you should say this, g. Prem Rawat, one of my current living Gurus, was asked many times, 'Are you God?' his response was, in short and paraphrase, 'no, i'm the filament in the light bulb'.

@goldie0800 one of his photos is in this video

@MRobe91000 i think modern nuclear scientists would tell you that there is enough energy in the atoms of one drop of water to destroy you many times over, with plenty left to spare....??

@MRobe91000 it will take some time for u to realize this.......till then be patient and meditate more.........god bless

[MRobe91000]

This conversation is getting ridiculous. Once, you are defeated, accept it and move on. Don't cheat yourself. A drop from the ocean can never kill you, regardless of the energy that it has intrinsically. You are talking about the manipulation of energy by mad scientists ( Dr. Strangelove ) that can kill you. The quality of the ocean is present in every drop not the quantity. The Ocean loves me.

@MRobe91000 MRobe, i'm just curious how you got to my video.....?? it seems to me that if i knew that Krishna was really forever 16 years old in the forest etc, the only thing i would be doing is trying to find him or contact him somehow.....the only connection i can see here is the Hindu one. so you were looking for something...in Yogananda's book, Babaji is purported to be immortal in the physical form..but i've made my effort to try to find such a person, i'm getting old, my body is failing.
