Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 This present form, or any transcendental form expanded by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Çré Kåñëa, is equally auspicious for all the universes. Since You have manifested this eternal personal form upon whom Your devotees meditate, I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto You. Those who are destined to be dispatched to the path of hell neglect Your personal form because of speculating on material topics. SB 3.9.4 Nowhere in the universe are there such beautiful bodily features as those of Lord Kåñëa. Therefore His transcendental body has nothing to do with anything materially created" (Bhäg. 1.9.33, purport). Because the elements are the Lord's own energy and because there is no difference between the energy and the energetic, the Lord can appear through any element. Just as the sun can act through the sunshine and thus distribute its heat and light, so Kåñëa, by His inconceivable power, can appear in His original spiritual form in any material element, including stone, wood, paint, gold, silver, and jewels, because the material elements are all His energy. (Cc. Madhya 5.97, purport) Väsudeväìghry-anudhyäna-paribåàhita-raàhasä. Here is Väsudeva, Kåñëa. You come here and see, very minutely, how Väsudeva is dressed nicely, how He is playing on His flute, how He is situated with His eternal consort, Çrématé Rädhäräëé, how He is enjoying her company. So nice thing for meditation. But why you are after zero? (laughter) Just see the rascaldom. Here is such nice object for meditation, and they are trying to meditate upon zero. Therefore Bhagavad-gétä says, kleçaù adhikataras teñäm avyaktäsakta-cetasäm. Kleça, that "Trouble is more." We can meditate upon Kåñëa, immediately. We are constantly seeing Kåñëa here. So as soon as I close my eyes, I see Kåñëa. That is not very difficult. Anything you see, you'll be able to immediately have the form within your heart, immediately. So there is no difficulty, but they will create some difficult task. Therefore Bhagavad-gétä (says), kleçaù adhikataras teñäm. To fix up the mind on Väsudeva, or Viñëu, that is also difficult. But those who are trying to fix up their mind on zero, their position is more difficult, adhikataram. Adhikataram means more. lecture SB 1.15.29 LA dec 7 1973 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
