Prabhupada: He's... just like your representative. Suppose if I have got you
some business. There is a call: "If you love me, you love my dog." It is not
the dog is you. Dog is different. But if you love somebody, you pat
sometimes, "Oh,...," the dog. Just to satisfy him. Yasya prasadad
bhagavat-prasadah. This is stated. If you satisfy guru, then God is
satisfied. That does not mean guru is God.
Dr. Patel: No, no, no! I don't say I think guru...

Dr. Patel: That's right.
Prabhupada: No. That's not right.
Dr. Patel: Atma is, atma is guru...
Prabhupada: That's not right. Please note it. If you compare the guru is
God, then you should compare similarity.
Dr. Patel: Similarity, this body and Krsna's body are different.
Prabhupada: No, no, no, no. That is an ignorance. You do not know.
Dr. Patel: Krsna's body is spiritual. His, any part of His body...
Prabhupada: The Mayavadis do that, that Krsna...
Dr. Patel: He can hear, He can hear by His eye and hear by His finger. And
