Here, JagannAtha dAsa explains how an actor in a drama wears different dress and says different dialogues and pleases the audience. But in real life that is not the particular part played by that person (actor) and it could be completely different. He wears those dress or ornaments only for that particular action or scene and we experience the role of that particular actor as if it were real (on stage). That is indeed the theatrical performance capacity and his artistic aptitude and oratory skill of the actor and he thus delights the audience.

 

In the same way beloved ParamAtma on the stage of this world, plays the role of an Actor and initiates and directs the actions in the drama of this world through jIva-s. Although He is far away from demerit and unhappiness, He displays feelings of separation from His wife, worry etc.. in His avatara as RAma and KR^iShNa. These are His camouflaged rUpa-s and He plays mockery. Knowledgeable devotees comprehend that these are His effortless roles, whereas the asura-s and the ignorant understand that ParamAtma is truly unhappy, upset due to seperarion from his wife etc..

 

ParamAtma is also called PUtAtma as referred in ViShNusahasranAma sloka

referred below:-

 

PutAtma ParamAtma ca muktanaM parama gatihi avyaya puruSha sAxsi xetraj~no xara evacha……………VSNAMA-2

 

pUtAtmA - The Pure Self - One who is untainted by the effects of kaRma - good or bad.PUta AtmA yasya sa pUtAtmA - One who has the pure Atma is pUtAtmA. Our Atma-s reap the fruits of the actions that we are involved in because of their association with our body. However, He is Pure Atma because He is not affected by the fruits of the association with the bodies.

 

He is Purifier of pure. ParamAtma purifies the body, mind and soul of His devotees who chant His name. He is full of j~nAna and AnaMda. He has no blemishes. He possesses infinite virtous qualities. He accepted the worship of His devotees and by His avatAra as Rama and KR^iShNa punished the wicked and protected the good people and protected dhaRma by way of a demonstrated life style. In His avatAra as Kapila and VedavyAsa, He preached lessons to good persons and in His avatAra as Buddha He tricked the daitya-s.

 Just as the actor wins the hearts of the audience, in the same way, ParamAtma- the Actor of the theatre of world, through His various avatAra-s satisfies the wishes of His devotees and blesses them.
