Pineapple

So it is kalpa-taru, nigama-kalpa-taru; the Vedic knowledge is just like kalpa-taru. Kalpa-taru means desire tree. Anything you want from that tree . . . just like here in this material world we can get mangoes from the mango tree, pineapple from the pineapple tree. If we ask the pineapple tree, “Give me mango,” that is not possible. But in the spiritual world there are trees . . . that is described in the Brahma-saṁhitā: cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu kalpa-vṛkṣa-lakṣāvṛteṣu surabhīr abhipālayantam (Bs. 5.29). That is kalpa-vṛkṣa. You can get from any tree whatever you like. That is spiritual. So nigama-kalpa-taru. The kalpa-taru, the Vedas. The very word, referred, kalpa-taru, means it is not material. It is coming from the spiritual world, Veda. Vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyo Vedānta-kṛd Vedānta–vid ca aham (BG 15.15).

Prabhupāda: Imitation God you can become, but you cannot become real God. That is not possible. That is warned. Mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat (BG 7.7). That’s all. Asamordhva: “Nobody equal to Me; nobody better than Me.” So why should you waste your time to become God? You cannot become actually. So why should you waste your time? Remain servant. Then you’re actually . . . (aside) Get this light. No, not that. Inside. You can give me little pineapple juice. Is it possible?
Hari-śauri: Right now?
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Hari-śauri: Yes.
