Herein lies the mystery of His
transcendental knowledge. This mystery is transcendental love of
Godhead, and one who is surcharged with such transcendental love of
Godhead can without difficulty see the Personality of Godhead in every
atom and every movable or immovable object. And at the same time he
can see the Personality of Godhead in His own abode, Goloka, enjoying
eternal pastimes with His eternal associates, who are also expansions
of His transcendental existence. This vision is the real mystery of
spiritual knowledge, as stated by the Lord in the beginning (sarahasyam
tad-angam ca). This mystery is the most confidential part of the
knowledge of the Supreme, and it is impossible for the mental
speculators to discover by dint of intellectual gymnastics. The
mystery can be revealed through the process recommended by Brahmaji in
his Brahma-samhita (5.38) as follows:
premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena
santah sadaiva hrdayesu vilokayanti
yam syamasundaram acintya-guna-svarupam
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
"I worship the original Personality of
Godhead, Govinda, whom the pure devotees, their eyes smeared with the
ointment of love of Godhead, always observe within their hearts. This
Govinda, the original Personality of Godhead, is Syamasundara with all
transcendental qualities."
Therefore, although He is present in every atom, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead may not be visible to the dry speculators;
still the mystery is unfolded before the eyes of the pure devotees
because their eyes are anointed with love of Godhead. And this love of
Godhead can be attained only by the practice of transcendental loving
service of the Lord, and nothing else. The vision of the devotees is
not ordinary; it is purified by the process of devotional service. In
other words, as the universal elements are both within and without,
similarly the Lord's name, form, quality, pastimes, entourage, etc.,
as they are described in the revealed scriptures or as performed in
the Vaikunthalokas, far, far beyond the material cosmic manifestation,
are factually being televised in the heart of the devotee. The man
with a poor fund of knowledge cannot understand, although by material
science one can see things far away by means of television. Factually,
the spiritually developed person is able to have the television of the
kingdom of God always reflected within his heart. That is the mystery
of knowledge of the Personality of Godhead.
[Srimad Bhagavatam 2.9.35]
"My dear Lord Krsna, great personalities
and devotees in full Krsna consciousness always think of Your lotus
feet and remain fully satisfied by drinking the nectar of
transcendental bliss. The nectar which they constantly drink sometimes
comes out of their mouths and is sprinkled on others as the narration
of Your transcendental activities. This nectar coming from the mouth
of a devotee is so powerful that if one is fortunate enough to have
the opportunity to drink it, he immediately becomes freed from the
continuous journey of birth and death. Our material existence is
caused by our forgetfulness of Your personality, but fortunately the
darkness of forgetfulness is immediately dissipated if one is
privileged to hear about Your glories. Therefore, my dear Lord, where
is the possibility of ill fortune for one who is constantly engaged in
hearing Your glorious activities?
[KRSNA BOOK, CHAPTER
EIGHTY-THREE, Draupadi Meets the Queens of Krsna]
Note: Srila Prabhupada is always seeing Krsna's pastimes within his
heart and thus he remains fully satisfied by drinking this nectar.
This nectar which he is constantly drinking has come out of his mouth
[Krsna Book] This nectar coming from the mouth of Srila Prabhupada is
so powerful that if one is fortunate enough to have the opportunity to
drink it, he immediately becomes freed from the continuous journey of
birth and death.But in
my heart I want that KRSNA book in small or large form, should be
distributed in every home who are English-speaking people.
[S.P. Letter to:
Karandhara, Calcutta, 17 May, 1971]
Note: Srila
Prabhupada's desire is that transcendental television be installed in
every home.
SPTT [Srila
Prabhupada Transcendental Television] a small donation gets an eternal
subscription!
Another
interesting point is in regards to the sentence
"This nectar
coming from the mouth
of a devotee is powerful that if one is fortunate enough to have the
opportunity to drink it, he immediately
becomes freed from the
continuous journey of birth and death." So if any soul tunes
into Srila Prabhupada's transcendental television [Krsna Book] then
that soul will be delivered from material existence.
The spiritual
master, by his words, can penetrate into the
heart of the suffering person and inject knowledge transcendental,
which alone can extinguish the fire of material existence.
(S.B. 1.7.22)
Note: Srila
Prabhupada is delivering all fallen souls through his transcendental
sound vibration. This is the purpose of initiation, the deliverance of
the disciple from the material existence.
The spiritual
master initiates the disciple to deliver him,
and if the disciple executes the order of the spiritual master and
does not offend other Vaisnavas, his path is clear.
(C.C. Mad,
1.218)
It is the spiritual master who
delivers the disciple from the clutches of maya by initiating him into
the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. in this way a sleeping
human being can revive his consciousness by chanting Hare Krsna, Hare
Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare
Hare. In other words, the spiritual master awakens the
sleeping living entity to his original consciousness so that he can
worship Lord Visnu. This is the purpose of diksa, or initiation.
Initiation means receiving the pure knowledge of spiritual
consciousness.
(C.C. Mad 9.61)
Note: So because Prabhupada is
delivering everyone by SPTT he is the Initiating Guru. The Deliverer
means the Initiator!
