wonderful explanation of brahman paramatma bhagavan

[Guest guest]

You cannot see the government, but when things are going nicely, you must

accept, there is government. That is... When things are going on very

nicely, regularly, the sun is rising regularly, the moon is rising

regularly, the seasons are changing and the waves are flowing, everything,

then you have to accept that there is government. And as we have got

experience here in this material world... Government is impersonal, but that

at the end there is a president. Similarly, the whole government, the

complete government, may be impersonal in the beginning, but at the end

there is a person, that Supreme Person, Bhagav€n. Brahmeti param€tmeti

bhagav€n iti abdyate [sB 1.2.11]. Yes. Param€tm€ is representative of God.

Just like the president has got so many representative governors, similarly,

Param€tm€ is the localized representative of God, and God is person, and the

whole government is impersonal. This is the conception. When we say

“government,” you cannot localize that “Who is that person, government?”

That is impersonal. But when we find governor, then localized persons. And

then above them, all of them, when there is president, he is supreme person.

This is our practical example.
