Govinda, Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is person. He&#8217;s got His limbs of the body as we have got. Man is made after God. We are imitation of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is not imitation of us. The atheist class, they think that &#8220;They have painted a form of God according to one&#8217;s own feature of the body.&#8221; What is called? Anthropomorphism. But that is not the fact. Here in this material world we are getting different types of forms of body, 8,400,000&#8217;s. When we get this human form of body, it is just imitation of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a&#8217;s body.<\/p>\n<p>K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a has got two hands; we have got two hands. K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a has got two legs; we have got two legs. But the difference of this body and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a&#8217;s body is stated in this verse = a\u1e45g\u0101ni yasya sakalendriya-v\u1e5btti-manti. Here, with our hands, we can catch something but we cannot walk. But K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a can walk with His hand. Or with our legs we can simply walk, but we cannot catch something. But K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a can catch also. With our eyes we can see, but we cannot eat. But K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a can see with His eyes and eat also and hear also. That is the explanation of this verse. A\u1e45g\u0101ni yasya sakalendriya-v\u1e5btti-manti [Bs. 5.32] = &#8220;Each and every limb has got the function of the other limbs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That is called Absolute. He is not dependent. He is not dependent. Just like if we have lost our sight, we become dependent; no more we can see. But K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a can see with His hand, with His leg. Try to understand. Therefore He is Absolute. This is the meaning of Absolute. Everything is complete. P\u016br\u1e47am ada\u1e25. P\u016br\u1e47a means complete. So atheist will say that &#8220;You offer foodstuff. Where K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a eats? The foodstuff is still there.&#8221; But they do not know that simply by seeing, K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a can eat. And because He is complete, He eats and again keeps the thing complete. P\u016br\u1e47asya p\u016br\u1e47am \u0101d\u0101ya p\u016br\u1e47am ev\u0101va\u015bi\u1e63yate [\u012a\u015bo Invocation]. He can take everything complete; again it remains complete. Just like when we take food, we finish it = no more. But K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a can eat; at the same time, the things may remain as it is. Otherwise where is the difference between ourself and K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a? That is the difference.<\/p>\n<p>a\u1e45g\u0101ni yasya sakalendriya-v\u1e5btti-manti<br \/>\npa\u015byanti p\u0101nti kalayanti cira\u1e41 jaganti<br \/>\n[Bs. 5.32]\n<p>Why it is so? \u0100nanda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya. Vigraha. His form is not like our form. When in the Vedas it is stated &#8220;formless,&#8221; that means His form is not like our form&#8212;not that He is formless. The form is of different quality.<br \/>\na\u1e45g\u0101ni yasya sakalendriya-v\u1e5btti-manti<\/p>\n<p>pa\u015byanti p\u0101nti kalayanti cira\u1e41 jaganti<br \/>\n\u0101nanda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya<br \/>\n[Bs. 5.32]\n<p>These are possible when the body is made of \u0101nanda-cinmaya-rasa. This body is material. It is not \u0101nanda-cinmaya-rasa. The material body is different from the spiritual body. That they do not know. So when the Vedas says nir\u0101k\u0101ra, &#8220;formless,&#8221; that means He has no material form; He has got spiritual form. That spiritual form means full of bliss, \u0101nanda. \u0100nandamayo &#8216;bhy\u0101s\u0101t [Ved\u0101nta-s\u016btra 1.1.12], Ved\u0101nta-s\u016btra. By nature \u0101nandamaya. There is nothing nir\u0101nanda.<\/p>\n<p>That is spiritual world, always full of bliss, full of knowledge and eternity. That is spiritual. You live eternally and full of knowledge. Here so many things we do not know. It is full of ignorance, this body, and full of miseries. Moment after moment we are, due to this body, we are always in miserable condition, threefold miseries&#8212;adhy\u0101tmika, adhibhautika&#8230; So people do not try to understand this philosophy, but in the Vedic literature, each and every line there is philosophy. \u0100nanda-cinmaya-rasa-pratibh\u0101vit\u0101.<\/p>\n<p>So this is understanding of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. When K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a says that janma karma me divyam [Bg. 4.9], &#8220;My appearance, disappearance and activities, they are all transcendental,&#8221; so how it is transcendental? Because His body is different from us. The bodily limbs are different from us. The activities of the body are different from us. And because He is full with all potency, in spite of all these transcendental qualities, He can present Himself as one of us. And those who are rascals, they think that &#8220;K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is like us.&#8221; Because He presents Himself as one of us by His omnipotency, the fools take him as one of us. Avaj\u0101nanti m\u0101\u1e41 m\u016b\u1e0dh\u0101 [Bg. 9.11]. Mu\u1e0d\u1e25\u0101 means rascals, foolish people. Para\u1e41 bh\u0101vam aj\u0101nanta\u1e25: &#8220;They do not know the transcendental nature of Me.&#8221; This is transcendental nature, a\u1e45g\u0101ni yasya sakalendriya-v\u1e5btti.<\/p>\n<p>This is explained by Brahm\u0101. Brahm\u0101-sa\u1e41hit\u0101 means&#8230; Brahm\u0101 is the first living creature appeared in this universe, and after his realization, he is offering prayer. Realization means you should write, every one of you, what is your realization. What for this Back to Godhead is? You write your realization, what you have realized about K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. That is required. It is not passive. Always you should be active. Whenever you find time, you write. Never mind, two lines, four lines, but you write your realization.<\/p>\n<p>\u015arava\u1e47a\u1e41 k\u012brtanam, writing or offering prayers, glories, this is one of the function of the Vai\u1e63\u1e47ava. You are hearing, but you have to write also. Then write means smara\u1e47am, remembering what you have heard from your spiritual master, from the scripture. \u015arava\u1e47a\u1e41 k\u012brtana\u1e41 vi\u1e63\u1e47o\u1e25 [SB 7.5.23] = about Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, not for others. Don&#8217;t write any nonsense thing for any nonsense man. Useless waste of time. Vi\u1e63\u1e47u. Write about Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. This is cultivation of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness. Hear, write, remember, try to understand. Don&#8217;t be dull, dull-headed. Very intelligent. Without being very intelligent, nobody can have full K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness. It is for the most intelligent man.<\/p>\n<p>So that intelligence will come if you try to understand K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. We have got so many books. Always try to understand K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. Then you are liberated. Simply by&#8230; You cannot understand K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a in full. He is unlimited; our knowledge is limited. But as far as you can, try to understand K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. These are the items. A\u1e45g\u0101ni yasya sakalendriya-v\u1e5btti-manti [Bs. 5.32]. Ve\u1e47u\u1e41 kva\u1e47antam aravinda-dal\u0101yat\u0101k\u1e63am [Bs. 5.30]. He is engaged in playing on flute. It is not artists&#8217; painting that K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is painted as very nice, beautiful young boy and He has got a flute. No. These are Vedic statement.<\/p>\n<p>a\u1e45g\u0101ni yasya sakalendriya-v\u1e5btti-manti<br \/>\npa\u015byanti p\u0101nti kalayanti cira\u1e41 jaganti<br \/>\n\u0101nanda-cinmaya-sad-ujjvala-vigrahasya<br \/>\ngovindam \u0101di-puru\u1e63a\u1e41 tam aha\u1e41 bhaj\u0101mi<br \/>\n[Bs. 5.32]\n<p>Now the \u0101rati, begin.
