"For Him, everything anandamayo 'bhyasat, everything ananda. He has no such thing that 'this is harmful,' 'this is useful.' That is Krsna. Because nobody can do harm to Him, and neither in the spiritual world anyone is harmful; everyone is advanced devotee. Even tigers, they are also devotees."
We were a little surprised to hear there were tigers in the spiritual world, but Prabhupada said all varieties of life are there.
"They have tigers and serpents and everything like that?" I asked.
Prabhupada tipped his head in affirmation. "Everything. They are all devotees."
Harikesa wondered if there were dogs and hogs.
Prabhupada said yes. "But they are not hog. Just like Krsna appears as hog, but that doesn't mean He's hog. Krsna appears as fish; that does not mean He's fish."
