Getting To Know God
Page 17 of 176

Verse twenty eighth chapter of the Bhagavad-gita that there is another world, the spiritual world, beyond the two states of matter, manifested and unmanifested states. The manifested world can be seen in the form of many stars and planetary systems, such as the sun, moon, etc., beyond which is a non-manifested world, that no one in his material body, not approach. But even beyond this unmanifested matter is the spiritual kingdom, described in the Bhagavad-gita as supreme and eternal. He never knows the destruction. As the material nature is subjected indefinitely to the creation and annihilation, that kingdom, the spiritual world, unchanged for eternity.

The Brahma-samhita also describes the Supreme Abode of Lord Krsna, the Supreme Lord, as the Kingdom of cintamani. The Kingdom of Sri Krsna, Goloka Vrndavana, is full of cintamani Palace, the philosopher's stone. The trees are trees to wishes, and cows are named after surabhi: they give an abundance of milk. The Lord is served by hundreds and thousands of goddesses of fortune. He is called Govinda, the original Lord, and He is the cause of all causes. There the Lord plays His flute, His eyes are like the petals of the lotus, and the complexion of His Body recalls a beautiful cloud. A peacock feather adorns His head. It fascinates because her beauty surpasses that of thousands of Kandarpas (Cupids). If in the Bhagavad-gita Lord Krsna gives to His Abode, the supreme planet of the spiritual world, a brief vision, in the Bhagavatam It really appears with all His entourage and reveals His pastimes in Vrindavan and Mathura and Dvaraka. All this matter of this book reveal it gradually.

So everyone, whatever his condition, should develop in itself an attraction to listen to any comments about Krsna and His pastimes because Krsna is none other than the Supreme Absolute Truth, God, the Supreme Person. Omnipresent, He lives in everyone's heart, but also reigns in the universal form. Sometimes, and Bhagavad-gita teaches, He descends in human society, in His original form, to invite all beings to return to his absolute home, to find their true home, with Him, their Lord. All should desire to know Krsna, and this is therefore the purpose of this book: give men the knowledge of Krsna and enable them to benefit from all the advantages of the human form.

The radiance of the universal body of God extends to infinity. Like the sun, located luminary whose rays scatter in all directions, the Absolute Truth is God, the Supreme Person, but the radiance of His energy, the universal body extends to infinity. This universal body comes creation, as the sun's rays give birth cloud. This cloud from the rains, and rains the vegetation, itself the source of fruits and flowers, which form the basis for the existence of many other forms of life. Similarly, the brightness radiating from the body of the Supreme Lord is the cause of the creation of myriad universe. The influence of this universal body is impersonal essence, but it is to source the Supreme Lord God, who lives in His eternal kingdom and is still one person. However, the Upanishads, argue that we must pierce the impersonaleffulgence to see the face of the Lord.
