Bhagavad-gītā 7.1 At Uppsala University — September 8, 1973, Stockholm 730908BG-STOCKHOLM [39:16 Minutes] Bg-07.01_730908BG-STOCKHOLM Prabhupāda: ...yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu [Bg. 7.1] Śrī bhagavān uvāca. Bhagavān means the Supreme Being. That is also dictionary word. In the...

I consulted the Oxford Dictionary, "God." God means "the Supreme Being." And the Supreme means... That is also stated in the dictionary, "the greatest authority." So God means the greatest authority, Supreme, Supreme Being. We have got little idea of supreme. Suppose when you go to work in our office, the proprietor of the establishment or the managing director of the establishment, he's called the supreme.

We have got experience of the Supreme Court. In India, we have got Supreme Court. If there is any judgment which is not accepted by the litigant, he can go to the Supreme Court. And in the judgment given in the Supreme is final.

No more any appeal. That is final. Supreme means that—final. So bhagavān uvāca.

Bhagavān means the Supreme Being. We are all beings. We are also living entities. Similarly, Bhagavān, or God, He's also a living entity.

As living entity, we are the same. But He's the supreme living entity. No more greater than Him. Here, we can distinguish.

I am here. You may be greater than me. Another person may be greater than you. Another person may be greater than him.
