which we resided. Men who desire to regain sight, and to see life in its true light, must turn to Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, and cling only to his word and his teaching, which represent true pure light., the true celestial food, so they will see the purpose of existence fulfilled for them.
Lord Krishna sometimes appears personally, or He is represented by a qualified being whom He Himself endows with powers. particular ones, but in both cases, the aim is the same: to bring back to Him, in their original home, beings struggling with suffering. The happiness to which conditioned souls aspire is not found anywhere in the countless material planets and galaxies. This eternal happiness for which they remain thirsty can only be obtained in the kingdom of God. But the forgetful beings, whom the attributes of material nature keep in their grip, ignore everything about this realm.

The great pure sages, qualified agents of the Lord, all practice devotional service; thus, those who desire their own good will follow in the footsteps of these great sages, for in this way they will obtain the ultimate benefit.
The Lord of the material cosmos and the galaxies sustains all the planets, which inhabit the holy beings, the men and the lower species, and if He appears in the worlds in various forms of Avatars, showing His entertainments there, it is for the sole purpose of reminding to Him all those who rule by pure virtue.
There are d 'innumerable material galaxies, each containing innumerable planets, populated by various categories of beings, differently influenced by the three gunas, the three attributes or forms of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and
