Srimad-Bhagavatam Class 1.15.34 in Los Angeles on December 12, 1973

“What is the difference between a demon and devotee? A demon is puffed up. That’s all. Falsely. That is demon. And a devotee is submissive, meek and mild. This is the difference. . . . We go, ‘My dear sir, we have got these books to understand Krishna, the Supreme Lord. So you kindly read this book. You will be benefited.’ ‘Ah, what is God? Who is God? I am God.’ This is demonism. And demigod or a devotee means ‘Oh, here is a book, something about God, Krishna. All right, let me read it.’ That is the difference.”
