Morning Walk — May 9, 1973, Los Angeles 730509MW-LOS ANGELES [43:42 Minutes] Walk_730509MW-LOS ANGELES Kṛṣṇa-kāntī: Testing, one, two three. Śrīla Prabhupāda's morning walk, May 9th, 1973, at Venice beach, in Los Angeles. [break] Svarūpa Dāmodara: Śrīla Prabhupāda, I was going to ask is there any difference between acintya-śakti and mystic yoga power?

Prabhupāda: They call it mystic. Svarūpa Dāmodara: The same?

Prabhupāda: Yes. Mystic yogic power means the same acintya-śakti, dormant potency, which is within everyone. That can be awakened. The same example, as I have given, that everyone has got the potency to swim, but it has to be practiced.

I cannot swim. For me, if one is swimming, it is inconceivable power. But I have got also that power. By practice, it has to be awakened.

Svarūpa Dāmodara: That is a yogic process.

Prabhupāda: That is yogic process. Real yogic process is to find out Paramātmā, but side by side, many other dormant powers become awakened. Another example: that tree is producing chemicals. So every living entity has got dormant potencies, more or less.

So God, Kṛṣṇa, is the supreme living entity; therefore He has the full potency. God means full, complete. Nityo nityānāṁ cetanaś cetanānām [Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.2.13]. The best living entity, that is God.
