"translation": "<b>King Parīkṣit inquired: </b><b>My dear brāhmaṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu, being everyone's well-wisher, is equal and extremely dear to everyone. How, then, did He become partial like a common man for the sake of Indra and thus kill Indra's enemies? How can a person equal to everyone be partial to some and inimical toward others?</b>",

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.29) the Lord says, <i>samo 'haṁ sarva-bhūteṣu na me dveṣyo 'sti na priyaḥ:</i> \"I am equal to everyone. No one is dear to Me, nor is anyone My enemy.\" In the previous canto, however, it has been observed that the Lord sided with Indra by killing the demons on his account (<i>hata-putrā ditiḥ śakra-pārṣṇi-grāheṇa viṣṇunā</i>). Therefore, the Lord was clearly partial to Indra, although He is the Supersoul in everyone's heart. The soul is extremely dear to everyone, and similarly the Supersoul is also dear to everyone. Thus there cannot be any faulty action on the part of the Supersoul. The Lord is always kind to all living entities, irrespective of form and situation, yet He took the side of Indra just like an ordinary friend. This was the subject of Parīkṣit Mahārāja's inquiry. As a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa, he knew very well that Kṛṣṇa cannot be partial to anyone, but when he saw that Kṛṣṇa acted as the enemy of the demons, he was somewhat doubtful. Therefore he posed this question to Śukadeva Gosvāmī for a clear answer.",
|
||||
"A devotee cannot accept that Lord Viṣṇu has material qualifications. Mahārāja Parīkṣit knew perfectly well that Lord Viṣṇu, being transcendental, has nothing to do with material qualities, but to confirm his conviction he wanted to hear from the authority Śukadeva Gosvāmī. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says, <i>samasya kathaṁ vaiṣamyam:</i> since the Lord is equally disposed toward everyone, how can He be partial? <i>Priyasya katham asureṣu prīty-abhāvaḥ.</i> The Lord, being the Supersoul, is extremely dear to everyone. Why, then, should the Lord display unsympathetic behavior toward the <i>asuras</i>? How is this impartial? <i>Suhṛdaś ca kathaṁ teṣv asauhārdam.</i> Since the Lord says that He is <i>suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām,</i> the well-wisher of all living entities, how could He act with partiality by killing demons? These questions arose in the heart of Parīkṣit Mahārāja, and therefore he inquired from Śukadeva Gosvāmī."

"We should always remember the distinction between spiritual and material. That which is material is infected by material qualities, but these qualities cannot touch that which is spiritual, or transcendental. Kṛṣṇa is absolute, whether He is in the material world or spiritual world. When we see partiality in Kṛṣṇa, this vision is due to His external energy. Otherwise how could His enemies attain salvation after being killed by Him? Everyone who deals with the Supreme Personality of Godhead gradually acquires the qualities of the Lord. The more one advances in spiritual consciousness, the less he is affected by the duality of material qualities. The Supreme Lord, therefore, must certainly be freed from these qualities. His enmity and friendship are external features presented by the material energy. He is always transcendental. He is absolute, whether He kills or bestows His favor.",
|
||||
"Envy and friendship arise in one who is imperfect. We fear our enemies because in the material world we are always in need of help. The Lord, however, does not need anyone's help, for He is <i>ātmārāma.</i> The Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.26):",
|

"<i>patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ<br/> yo me bhaktyā prayacchati<br/> tad ahaṁ bhakty-upahṛtam<br/> aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"If a devotee offers Me with devotion a little leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I shall accept it.\" Why does the Lord say this? Is He dependent on the offering of the devotee? He is not actually dependent, but He likes to be dependent upon His devotee. This is His mercy. Similarly, He does not fear the <i>asuras.</i> Thus there is no question of partiality in the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

"So-called attachment, detachment and obligations pertain to the material nature, which is an emanation from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but whenever the Lord descends and acts in this material world, He does so in His spiritual position. Although His activities materially appear different, spiritually they are absolute and nondifferent. Thus it is an imposition upon the Supreme Lord to say that He is envious of anyone or friendly to anyone.",

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.11) the Lord clearly says, <i>avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam:</i> \"Fools deride Me when I descend in a human form.\" Kṛṣṇa appears on this earth or within this universe without any change in His spiritual body or spiritual qualities. Indeed, He is never influenced by the material qualities. He is always free from such qualities, but He appears to act under material influence. This understanding is <i>āropita,</i> or an imposition. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says, <i>janma karma ca me divyam:</i> whatever He does, being always transcendental, has nothing to do with material qualities. <i>Evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ:</i> only devotees can understand the truth of how He acts. The fact is that Kṛṣṇa is never partial to anyone. He is always equal to everyone, but because of imperfect vision, influenced by material qualities, one imposes material qualities upon Kṛṣṇa, and when one does so he becomes a <i>mudha,</i> a fool. When one can properly understand the truth, one becomes devoted and <i>nirguṇa,</i> free from material qualities. Simply by understanding the activities of Kṛṣṇa one can become transcendental, and as soon as one is transcendental he is fit to be transferred to the transcendental world. <i>Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna:</i> one who understands the activities of the Lord in truth is transferred to the spiritual world after he gives up his material body."

Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, in the <i>Bhāgavata-sandarbha,</i> has clearly said:",

"According to this statement of the <i>Bhāgavata-sandarbha,</i> the Supreme Lord, being always transcendental to the material qualities, is never affected by the influence of these qualities. This same characteristic is also present in the living being, but because he is conditioned by material nature, even the pleasure potency of the Lord is manifested in the conditioned soul as troublesome. In the material world the pleasure enjoyed by the conditioned soul is followed by many painful conditions. For instance, we have seen that in the two great wars, which were conducted by the <i>rajo-guṇa</i> and <i>tamo-guṇa,</i> both parties were actually ruined. The German people declared war against the English to ruin them, but the result was that both parties were ruined. Although the Allies were apparently victorious, at least on paper, actually neither of them were victorious. Therefore it should be concluded that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is not partial to anyone. Everyone works under the influence of various modes of material nature, and when the various modes are prominent, the demigods or demons appear victorious under the influence of these modes.",

"\"The manifestations of the modes of goodness can be experienced when all the gates of the body are illumined by knowledge.",
|
||||
"\"O chief of the Bhāratas, when there is an increase in the mode of passion, the symptoms of great attachment, uncontrollable desire, hankering, and intense endeavor develop.",
|
||||
"\"O son of Kuru, when there is an increase in the mode of ignorance, madness, illusion, inertia and darkness are manifested.\"",
|
||||
"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present in everyone's heart, simply gives the results of the increase in the various qualities, but He is impartial. He supervises victory and loss, but He does not take part in them.",
|

"The various modes of material nature do not work all at once. The interactions of these modes are exactly like seasonal changes. Sometimes there is an increment of <i>rajo-guṇa,</i> sometimes of <i>tamo-guṇa</i> and sometimes <i>sattva-guṇa.</i> Generally the demigods are surcharged with <i>sattva-guṇa,</i> and therefore when the demons and the demigods fight, the demigods are victorious because of the prominence of their <i>sattva-guṇa</i> qualities. However, this is not the partiality of the Supreme Lord."

Such foolish persons become envious and try to minimize an advanced devotee's activities. That is not Vaiṣṇavism. A Vaiṣṇava should appreciate the service rendered to the Lord by other Vaiṣṇavas. Therefore a Vaiṣṇava is described in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> as <i>nirmatsara.</i> Vaiṣṇavas are never envious of other Vaiṣṇavas or of anyone else, and therefore they are called <i>nirmatsarāṇāṁ satām.</i>",

A small skin and the vast Atlantic Ocean both contain water, and by seeing the quantity of water in a container one can understand the size of the container. The sky represents the mode of ignorance. The sky is present in a small earthen pot and also in outer space. Thus by proper judgment one can see who is a <i>devatā,</i> or demigod, and who is an <i>asura,</i> Yakṣa or Rākṣasa according to the quantities of <i>sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa</i> and <i>tamo-guṇa.</i> One cannot judge whether a person is a <i>devatā,</i> an <i>asura</i> or a Rākṣasa by seeing him, but a sane man can understand this by the activities such a person performs. A general description is given in <i>the Padma Purāṇa:</i> <i>viṣṇu-bhaktaḥ smṛto daiva āsuras tad-viparyayaḥ.</i> A devotee of Lord Viṣṇu is a demigod, whereas an <i>asura</i> or Yakṣa is just the opposite. An <i>asura</i> is not a devotee of Lord Viṣṇu; instead, for his sense gratification he is a devotee of the demigods, <i>bhūtas, pretas</i> and so on. Thus one can judge who is a <i>devatā,</i> who is a Rākṣasa and who is an <i>asura</i> by how they conduct their activities.",

"The word <i>ātmānam</i> in this verse means <i>paramātmānam.</i> The Paramātmā, or Supersoul, is situated in the core of everyone's heart (<i>antataḥ</i>). This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>18.61</i>). <i>Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati.</i> The <i>īśvara,</i> the Supreme Personality of Godhead, being situated in everyone's heart, gives directions to everyone in terms of one's capabilities in taking the instructions. The instructions of <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> are open to everyone, but some people understand them properly, whereas others understand them so improperly that they cannot even believe in the existence of Kṛṣṇa, although reading Kṛṣṇa's book. Although the <i>Gītā</i> says <i>śrī-bhagavān uvāca,</i> indicating that Kṛṣṇa spoke, they cannot understand Kṛṣṇa. This is due to their misfortune or incapability, which is caused by <i>rajo-guṇa</i> and <i>tamo-guṇa,</i> the modes of passion and ignorance. It is because of these modes that they cannot even understand Kṛṣṇa, whereas an advanced devotee like Arjuna understands Him and glorifies Him, saying, <i>paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān:</i> \"You are the Supreme Brahman, the supreme abode and purifier.\" Kṛṣṇa is open to everyone, but one needs the capability to understand Him.",
|
||||
"By external features one cannot understand who is favored by Kṛṣṇa and who is not. According to one's attitude, Kṛṣṇa becomes one's direct adviser, or Kṛṣṇa becomes unknown. This is not Kṛṣṇa's partiality; it is His response to one's ability to understand Him. According to one's receptiveness—whether one be a <i>devatā, asura,</i> Yakṣa or Rākṣasa—Kṛṣṇa's quality is proportionately exhibited. This proportionate exhibition of Kṛṣṇa's power is misunderstood by less intelligent men to be Kṛṣṇa's partiality, but actually it is no such thing. Kṛṣṇa is equal to everyone, and according to one's ability to receive the favor of Kṛṣṇa, one advances in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura gives a practical example in this connection. In the sky there are many luminaries. At night, even in darkness, the moon is extremely brilliant and can be directly perceived. The sun is also extremely brilliant. When covered by clouds, however, these luminaries are not distinctly visible. Similarly, the more one advances in <i>sattva-guṇa,</i> the more his brilliance is exhibited by devotional service, but the more one is covered by <i>rajo-guṇa</i> and <i>tamo-guṇa,</i> the less visible his brilliance, for he is covered by these qualities. The visibility of one's qualities does not depend on the partiality of the Supreme Personality of Godhead; it is due to various coverings in different proportions. Thus one can understand how far he has advanced in terms of <i>sattva-guṇa</i> and how much he is covered by <i>rajo-guṇa</i> and <i>tamo-guṇa.</i>"

In this verse the words <i>kālaṁ carantaṁ sṛjatīśa āśrayam</i> indicate that although the Lord acts within time, whether <i>sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa</i> or <i>tamo-guṇa</i> is prominent, one should not think that the Lord is under time's control. Time is within His control, for He creates time to act in a certain way; He is not working under the control of time. The creation of the material world is one of the Lord's pastimes. Everything is fully under His control. Since creation takes place when <i>rajo-guṇa</i> is prominent, the Lord creates the necessary time to give facilities for <i>rajo-guṇa.</i> Similarly, He also creates the necessary times for maintenance and annihilation. Thus this verse establishes that the Lord is not under the limitations of time.",

Here it is said, <i>satya-kṛt:</i> whatever is created by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, <i>satyaṁ param,</i> cannot be called <i>mithyā.</i> The cause of the creation is <i>satya,</i> true, so how can the effect of the cause be <i>mithyā</i>? The very word <i>satya-kṛt</i> is used to establish that everything created by the Lord is factual, never false. The creation may be temporary, but it is not false."

Therefore when the demigods are favored and the demons killed, this is not His partiality but the influence of the time factor. A good example in this regard is that an electrician connects both a heater and a cooler to the same electrical energy. The cause of the heating and cooling is the electrician's manipulation of the electrical energy according to his desire, but factually the electrician has nothing to do with causing heat or cold, nor with the enjoyment or suffering that results.",

"There have been many historical incidents in which the Lord killed a demon, but the demon attained a higher position by the mercy of the Lord. Pūtanā is an example. Pūtanā's purpose was to kill Kṛṣṇa. <i>Aho bakī yaṁ stana-kāla-kūṭam.</i> She approached the house of Nanda Mahārāja with the purpose of killing Kṛṣṇa by smearing poison on her breast, yet when she was killed she attained the highest position, achieving the status of Kṛṣṇa's mother. Krsna is so kind and impartial that because he sucked Putana's breast, He immediately accepted her as His mother. This superfluous activity of killing Pūtanā did not diminish the Lord's impartiality. He is <i>suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām,</i> the friend of everyone. Therefore partiality cannot apply to the character of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who always maintains His position as the supreme controller. The Lord killed Pūtanā as an enemy, but because of His being the supreme controller, she attained an exalted position as His mother. Śrīla Madhva Muni therefore remarks, <i>kāle kāla-viṣaye 'pīśitā.</i> <i>dehādi-kāraṇatvāt surānīkam iva sthitaṁ sattvam.</i> Ordinarily a murderer is hanged, and in the <i>Manu-saṁhitā</i> it is said that a king bestows mercy upon a murderer by killing him, thus saving him from various kinds of suffering. Because of his sinful activities, such a murderer is killed by the mercy of the king. Kṛṣṇa, the supreme judge, deals with matters in a similar way because He is the supreme controller. The conclusion, therefore, is that the Lord is always impartial and always very kind to all living entities."

The conditioned soul, being seated on this machine, wanders throughout the universe, and because of his bodily conception of life he only suffers. Actually the suffering of being blasphemed and the enjoyment of being praised, the acceptance of a good welcome or of chastisement by harsh words, are felt in the material conception of life; but since the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is not material but <i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha,</i> He is unaffected by insults or greetings, blasphemy or prayers. Being always unaffected and complete, He does not feel extra pleasure when offered nice prayers by the devotee, although the devotee benefits by offering prayers to the Lord. Indeed, the Lord is very kind to His so-called enemy because one who always thinks of the Personality of Godhead as an enemy also benefits, although he thinks of the Lord adversely. If a conditioned soul, thinking of the Lord as an enemy or a friend, somehow or other becomes attached to the Lord, he receives great benefit."

"translation": "<b>Because of the bodily conception of life, the conditioned soul thinks that when the body is annihilated the living being is annihilated. Lord Viṣṇu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is the supreme controller, the Supersoul of all living entities. Because He has no material body, He has no false conception of \"I and mine.\" It is therefore incorrect to think that He feels pleasure or pain when blasphemed or offered prayers. This is impossible for Him. Thus He has no enemy and no friend. When He chastises the demons it is for their good, and when He accepts the prayers of the devotees it is for their good. He is affected neither by prayers nor by blasphemy.</b>",
|
||||
"purport": [
|

"Because of being covered by material bodies, the conditioned souls, including even greatly learned scholars and falsely educated professors, all think that as soon as the body is finished, everything is finished. This is due to their bodily conception of life. Kṛṣṇa has no such bodily conception, nor is His body different from His self. Therefore, since Kṛṣṇa has no material conception of life, how can He be affected by material prayers and accusations? Kṛṣṇa's body is described herewith as <i>kaivalya,</i> nondifferent from Himself. Since everyone has a material bodily conception of life, if Kṛṣṇa had such a conception what would be the difference between Kṛṣṇa and the conditioned soul? Kṛṣṇa's instructions in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> are accepted as final because He does not possess a material body. As soon as one has a material body he has four deficiencies, but since Kṛṣṇa does not possess a material body, He has no deficiencies. He is always spiritually conscious and blissful. <i>Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ:</i> His form is eternal, blissful knowledge. <i>Sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ, ānanda-cinmaya-rasa</i> and <i>kaivalya</i> are the same.",
|
||||
"Kṛṣṇa can expand Himself as Paramātmā in the core of everyone's heart. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (13.3) this is confirmed. <i>Kṣetrajñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata:</i> the Lord is the Paramātmā—the <i>ātmā</i> or Superself of all individual souls. Therefore it must naturally be concluded that He has no defective bodily conceptions. Although situated in everyone's body, He has no bodily conception of life. He is always free from such conceptions, and thus He cannot be affected by anything in relation to the material body of the <i>jīva.</i>",
|
||||
"Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (16.19):",
|
||||
"<i>tān ahaṁ dviṣataḥ krūrān<br/> saṁsāreṣu narādhamān<br/> kṣipāmy ajasram aśubhān<br/> āsurīṣv eva yoniṣu</i>",
|
||||
"\"Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life.\" Whenever the Lord punishes persons like demons, however, such punishment is meant for the good of the conditioned soul. The conditioned soul, being envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, may accuse Him, saying, \"Kṛṣṇa is bad, Kṛṣṇa is a thief\" and so on, but Kṛṣṇa, being kind to all living entities, does not consider such accusations. Instead, He takes account of the conditioned soul's chanting of \"Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa\" so many times. He sometimes punishes such demons for one life by putting them in a lower species, but then, when they have stopped accusing Him, they are liberated in the next life because of chanting Kṛṣṇa's name constantly. Blaspheming the Supreme Lord or His devotee is not at all good for the conditioned soul, but Kṛṣṇa, being very kind, punishes the conditioned soul in one life for such sinful activities and then takes him back home, back to Godhead. The vivid example for this is Vṛtrāsura, who was formerly Citraketu Mahārāja, a great devotee. Because he derided Lord Śiva, the foremost of all devotees, he had to accept the body of a demon called Vṛtra, but then he was taken back to Godhead. Thus when Kṛṣṇa punishes a demon or conditioned soul, He stops that soul's habit of blaspheming Him, and when the soul becomes completely pure, the Lord takes him back to Godhead."

"From this verse one should not conclude that because Kṛṣṇa is unaffected by favorable prayers or unfavorable blasphemy one should therefore blaspheme the Supreme Lord. This is not the regulative principle. <i>Bhakti-yoga</i> means <i>ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānuśīlanam:</i> one should serve Kṛṣṇa very favorably. This is the real injunction. Here it is said that although an enemy thinks of Kṛṣṇa unfavorably, the Lord is unaffected by such antidevotional service. Thus He offers His benedictions even to Śiśupāla and similarly inimical conditioned souls. This does not mean, however, that one should be inimical toward the Lord. The stress is given to the favorable execution of devotional service, not purposeful blasphemy of the Lord. It is said:",

|

"One who hears blasphemy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or His devotees should immediately take action or should leave. Otherwise he will be put into hellish life perpetually. There are many such injunctions. Therefore as a regulative principle one should not be unfavorable toward the Lord but always favorably inclined toward Him.",
|
||||
"Śiśupāla's achievement of oneness with the Supreme Lord was different because Jaya and Vijaya, from the very beginning of their material existence, were ordained to treat the Supreme Lord as an enemy for three lives and then return home, back to Godhead. Jaya and Vijaya inwardly knew that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but they purposely became His enemies to be delivered from material life. From the very beginning of their lives they thought of Lord Kṛṣṇa as an enemy, and even though blaspheming Lord Kṛṣṇa, they chanted the holy name of Kṛṣṇa constantly along with their inimical thoughts. Thus they were purified because of chanting the holy name of Kṛṣṇa. It is to be understood that even a blasphemer can be freed from sinful activities by chanting the holy name of the Lord. Certainly, therefore, freedom is assured for a devotee who is always favorable to the service of the Lord. This will be clear from the following verse. By rapt attention fixed upon Kṛṣṇa, one is purified, and thus one is delivered from material life.",
|
||||
"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has very nicely explained the word <i>bhayena,</i> which means \"by fear.\" When the <i>gopīs</i> went to Kṛṣṇa in the dead of night, they certainly feared chastisement by their relatives—their husbands, brothers and fathers—but nonetheless, not caring for their relatives, they went to Kṛṣṇa. There was certainly fear, but this fear could not check their devotional service to Kṛṣṇa.",
|
||||
"One should not mistakenly think that Lord Kṛṣṇa must be worshiped by an inimical attitude like that of Śiśupāla. The injunction is <i>ānukūlyasya grahaṇaṁ prātikūlyasya varjanam:</i> one should give up unfavorable activities and accept only favorable conditions in devotional service. Generally, if one blasphemes the Supreme Personality of Godhead he is punished. As the Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (16.19):",
|

"<i>tān ahaṁ dviṣataḥ krūrān<br/> saṁsāreṣu narādhamān<br/> kṣipāmy ajasram aśubhān<br/> āsurīṣv eva yoniṣu</i>",
|
||||
"There are many such injunctions. One should not try to worship Kṛṣṇa unfavorably; otherwise he must be punished, at least for one life, to be purified. As one should not try to be killed by embracing an enemy, a tiger or a snake, one should not blaspheme the Supreme Personality of Godhead and become His enemy in order to be put into hellish life.",
|
||||
"The purpose of this verse is to emphasize that even the enemy of the Lord can be delivered, not to speak of His friend. Śrīla Madhvācārya also says in many ways that one should not blaspheme Lord Viṣṇu through one's mind, words or actions, for a blasphemer will go to hellish life along with his forefathers.",

Attaining repeated birth amongst the species of demoniac life, such persons can never approach Me. Gradually they sink down to the most abominable type of existence.\" One who blasphemes the Lord is put into a family of <i>asuras,</i> in which there is every chance of forgetting the service of the Lord. Lord Kṛṣṇa further states in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.11-12):",

"Anything done by those who have taken the attitude of enemies will be baffled (<i>moghāśāḥ</i>). If these enemies try to be liberated or to merge into the existence of Brahman, if they desire to be elevated to the higher planetary systems as <i>karmīs,</i> or even if they desire to return home, back to Godhead, they will certainly be baffled.",
|
||||
"As for Hiraṇyakaśipu, although he was extremely inimical toward the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he always thought of his son, who was a great devotee. Therefore by the grace of his son, Prahlāda Mahārāja, Hiraṇyakaśipu was also delivered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.",

|

"The conclusion is that one should not give up pure devotional service. For one's own benefit, one should not imitate Hiraṇyakaśipu or Śiśupāla. This is not the way to achieve success."

"Śrīmān Nārada Muni, the topmost pure devotee, praises Kṛṣṇa's enemies like Śiśupāla because their minds are always completely absorbed in Kṛṣṇa. Indeed, he thinks himself deficient in the inspiration of being feelingly absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This does not mean, however, that the enemies of Kṛṣṇa are more elevated than Kṛṣṇa's pure devotees. In the <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta</i> (<i>Ādi</i> 5.205) Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī also thinks of himself in such a humble way:",
|
||||
"<i>jagāi mādhāi haite muñi se pāpiṣṭha<br/> purīṣera kīṭa haite muñi se laghiṣṭha</i>",
|
||||
"\"I am a worse sinner than Jagāi and Mādhāi and am even lower than the worms in the stool.\" A pure devotee always thinks himself more deficient than everyone else. If a devotee approaches Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī to offer some service to Kṛṣṇa, even Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī thinks that the devotee is greater than She. Thus Nārada Muni says that according to his opinion the enemies of Kṛṣṇa are better situated because they are fully absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa in terms of killing Him, just as a very lusty man always thinks of women and their association.",
|
||||
"The essential point in this connection is that one should be fully absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa, twenty-four hours a day. There are many devotees in <i>rāga-mārga,</i> which is exhibited in Vṛndāvana. Whether in <i>dāsya-rasa, sakhya-rasa, vātsalya-rasa</i> or <i>mādhurya-rasa,</i> all the devotees of Kṛṣṇa are always overwhelmed by thoughts of Kṛṣṇa. When Kṛṣṇa is away from Vṛndāvana tending the cows in the forest, the <i>gopīs,</i> in the <i>mādhurya-rasa,</i> are always absorbed in thoughts of how Kṛṣṇa walks in the forest. The soles of His feet are so soft that the <i>gopīs</i> would not dare keep His lotus feet on their soft breasts. Indeed, they consider their breasts a very hard place for the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, yet those lotus feet wander in the forest, which is full of thorny plants. The <i>gopīs</i> are absorbed in such thoughts at home, although Kṛṣṇa is away from them. Similarly, when Kṛṣṇa plays with His young friends, mother Yaśodā is very much disturbed by thoughts that Kṛṣṇa, because of always playing and not taking His food properly, must be getting weak. These are examples of the exalted ecstasy felt in Kṛṣṇa's service as manifested in Vṛndāvana. This service is indirectly praised by Nārada Muni in this verse. Especially for the conditioned soul, Nārada Muni recommends that one somehow or other be absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa, for that will save one from all the dangers of material existence. Full absorption in thought of Kṛṣṇa is the highest platform of <i>bhakti-yoga.</i>"

"translation": "<b>A grassworm confined in a hole of a wall by a bee always thinks of the bee in fear and enmity and later becomes a bee simply because of such remembrance. Similarly, if the conditioned souls somehow or other think of Kṛṣṇa, who is sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha, they will become free from their sins. Whether thinking of Him as their worshipable Lord or an enemy, because of constantly thinking of Him they will regain their spiritual bodies.</b>",

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.10) the Lord says:",
|
||||
"<i>vīta-rāga-bhaya-krodhā<br/> man-mayā mām upāśritāḥ<br/> bahavo jñāna-tapasā<br/> pūtā mad-bhāvam āgatāḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in Me and taking refuge in Me, many, many persons in the past became purified by knowledge of Me—and thus they all attained transcendental love for Me.\" There are two ways of constantly thinking of Kṛṣṇa—as a devotee and as an enemy. A devotee, of course, by his knowledge and <i>tapasya,</i> becomes free from fear and anger and becomes a pure devotee. Similarly, an enemy, although thinking of Kṛṣṇa inimically, thinks of Him constantly and also becomes purified. This is confirmed elsewhere in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (9.30), where the Lord says:",
|
||||
"<i>api cet sudurācāro<br/> bhajate mām ananya-bhāk<br/> sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ<br/> samyag vyavasito hi saḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"Even if one commits the most abominable actions, if he engages in devotional service he is to be considered saintly because he is properly situated.\" A devotee undoubtedly worships the Lord with rapt attention. Similarly, if an enemy (<i>sudurācāraḥ</i>) always thinks of Kṛṣṇa, he also becomes a purified devotee. The example given here concerns the grassworm that becomes beelike because of constantly thinking of the bee that forces it to enter a hole. By always thinking of the bee in fear, the grassworm starts to become a bee. This is a practical example. Lord Kṛṣṇa appears within this material world for two purposes—<i>paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām:</i> to protect the devotees and annihilate the demons. The <i>sādhus</i> and devotees certainly think of the Lord always, but <i>duṣkṛtīs,</i> the demons like Kaṁsa and Śiśupāla, also think of Kṛṣṇa in terms of killing Him. By thinking of Kṛṣṇa, both the demons and devotees attain liberation from the clutches of material <i>māyā.</i>",
|
||||
"This verse uses the word <i>māyā-manuje.</i> When Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appears in His original spiritual potency (<i>sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā</i>), He is not forced to accept a form made by material nature. Therefore the Lord is addressed as <i>īśvara,</i> the controller of <i>māyā.</i> He is not controlled by <i>māyā.</i> When a demon continuously thinks of Kṛṣṇa because of enmity toward Him, he is certainly freed from the sinful reactions of his life. To think of Kṛṣṇa in any way, in terms of His name, form, qualities, paraphernalia or anything pertaining to Him, is beneficial for everyone. <i>Sṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ.</i> Thinking of Kṛṣṇa, hearing the holy name of Kṛṣṇa or hearing the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa will make one pure, and then he will become a devotee. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is therefore trying to introduce the system of somehow or other letting everyone hear the holy name of Kṛṣṇa and take Kṛṣṇa's <i>prasāda.</i> Thus one will gradually become a devotee, and his life will be successful."

"If a bona fide listener hears of Kṛṣṇa's pastimes with the <i>gopīs,</i> which seem to be lusty affairs, the lusty desires in his heart, which constitute the heart disease of the conditioned soul, will be vanquished, and he will become a most exalted devotee of the Lord. If one who hears of the <i>gopīs</i>' lusty behavior with Kṛṣṇa becomes free from lusty desires, certainly the <i>gopīs</i> who approached Kṛṣṇa became free from all such desires. Similarly, Śiśupāla and others who were very much envious of Kṛṣṇa and who constantly thought of Kṛṣṇa became free from envy. Nanda Mahārāja and mother Yaśodā were fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness because of affection. When the mind is somehow or other fully absorbed in Kṛṣṇa, the material part is very soon vanquished, and the spiritual part—attraction to Kṛṣṇa—becomes manifest. This indirectly confirms that if one thinks of Kṛṣṇa enviously, simply because of thinking of Kṛṣṇa he becomes free from all sinful reactions and thus becomes a pure devotee. Examples of this are given in the following verse."

"Different persons achieve different types of <i>mukti</i>—<i>sāyujya, sālokya, sārūpya, sāmīpya</i> and <i>sārṣṭi</i>—according to their own intense desire, which is called <i>bhāva.</i> Thus it is described here that the <i>gopīs,</i> by their lusty desires, which were based upon their intense love for Kṛṣṇa, became the most beloved devotees of the Lord. Although the <i>gopīs</i> at Vṛndāvana expressed their lusty desires in relationship with a paramour (<i>parakīya-rasa</i>), they actually had no lusty desires. This is significant of spiritual advancement. Their desires appeared lusty, but actually they were not the lusty desires of the material world. <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta</i> compares the desires of the spiritual and material world to gold and iron. Both gold and iron are metal, but there is a vast difference in their value. The lusty desires of the <i>gopīs</i> for Kṛṣṇa are compared to gold, and material lusty desires are compared to iron.",

Similarly, although Nārada Muni wanders in the three worlds, he has exalted devotion for Nārāyaṇa (<i>aiśvaryamān</i>). The Vṛṣṇis and Yadus and the father and mother of Kṛṣṇa in Vṛndāvana all have familial relationships with Kṛṣṇa; Kṛṣṇa's foster father and mother in Vṛndāvana, however, are more exalted than Vasudeva and Devakī."

"This very significant question would be difficult for an ordinary person to answer, but Nārada Muni, being an authority, could answer it. Therefore Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira inquired from him, saying, <i>etad ākhyātum arhasi:</i> \"only you can explain the reason.\" From authoritative sources it can be discerned that associates of Lord Viṣṇu who descend from Vaikuṇṭha do not actually fall. They come with the purpose of fulfilling the desire of the Lord, and their descent to this material world is comparable to that of the Lord. The Lord comes to this material world through the agency of His internal potency, and similarly, when a devotee or associate of the Lord descends to this material world, he does so through the action of the spiritual energy. Any pastime conducted by the Supreme Personality of Godhead is an arrangement by <i>yogamāyā,</i> not <i>mahāmāyā.</i> Therefore it is to be understood that when Jaya and Vijaya descended to this material world, they came because there was something to be done for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Otherwise it is a fact that no one falls from Vaikuṇṭha.",
|
||||
"Of course, a living entity who desires <i>sāyujya-mukti</i> remains in Kṛṣṇa's Brahman effulgence, which is dependent on Kṛṣṇa's body (<i>brahmaṇo hi pratiṣṭhāham</i>). Such an impersonalist who takes shelter of the Brahman effulgence must surely fall down. This is stated in the <i>śāstra</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.2.32):",
|
||||
"<i>ye 'nye 'ravindākṣa vimukta-māninas<br/> tvayy asta-bhāvād aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ<br/> āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ<br/> patanty adho 'nādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"O Lord, the intelligence of those who think themselves liberated but who have no devotion is impure. Even though they rise to the highest point of liberation by dint of severe penances and austerities, they are sure to fall down again into material existence, for they do not take shelter at Your lotus feet.\" The impersonalists cannot reach the Vaikuṇṭha planets to become associates of the Lord, and therefore, according to their desires, Kṛṣṇa gives them <i>sāyujya-mukti.</i> However, since <i>sāyujya-mukti</i> is partial <i>mukti,</i> they must fall again to this material world. When it is said that the individual soul falls from Brahmaloka, this applies to the impersonalist.",
|
||||
"From authoritative sources it is learned that Jaya and Vijaya were sent to this material world to fulfill the Lord's desire to fight. The Lord also sometimes wants to fight, but who can fight with the Lord but a very confidential devotee of the Lord? Jaya and Vijaya descended to this world to fulfill the Lord's desire. Therefore in each of their three births—first as Hiraṇyākṣa and Hiraṇyakaśipu, second as Rāvaṇa and Kumbhakarṇa, and third as Śiśupāla and Dantavakra—the Lord personally killed them. In other words, these associates of the Lord, Jaya and Vijaya, descended to the material world to serve the Lord by fulfilling His desire to fight. Otherwise, as Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira says, <i>aśraddheya ivābhāti:</i> the statement that a servant of the Lord could fall from Vaikuṇṭha seems unbelievable. How Jaya and Vijaya came to this material world is explained by Nārada Muni as follows."

Thus He cannot be envious of anyone or friendly to anyone; for Him everyone is the same. Although He is sometimes seen to punish someone, this is exactly like a father's punishing his child for the child's welfare. The Supreme Lord's punishment is also a manifestation of the Lord's equality.
