Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted February 7, 2005 Holy Name is not of this World So Krsna and His pastimes, His name, quality, paraphernalia, entourage, everything is spiritual. That is accepted by great scholars like Sankaracarya. He says: narayana para. "Narayana, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is beyond this material world." There are many examples. In your Bible also, those who are Christians, God said, "Let there be creation." So there was creation. Now this world, this word is not vibration of this material world. In the material world, if I say, "Let there be some mango," so no. That is not possible. But in the spiritual vibration, that is possible. That is possible. So the study is that God said, "Let there be creation." So there was creation. Now this word existed before the creation, because "Let there be creation" means when God is speaking there was no creation. And the creation means this material world. Therefore this vibration is not material. So when God is saying, "Let there be creation," then He's a person. Therefore His personality is also transcendental, spiritual. Otherwise how He speaks? These things are there in the Vedic literature. Sa aiksata: "He glanced over, and there was creation." And Bhagavad-gita also it is said that mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram [bg. 9.10]. So Krsna's or God's position is always transcendental. Therefore those who are impersonalists, they are not attracted with the variegatedness of this material life. They want to make it void, because they have no information of the spiritual variegatedness. But this Sukadeva Gosvami, he became attracted with the pastimes of Krsna because Krsna's pastimes are not variegatedness of this material world. It completely spiritual. And to discuss about Krsna, to hear about Krsna, to chant about Krsna, to glorify about Krsna, everything is spiritual. So if you are engaged twenty-four hours in this business you are not in this material world. You are in the spiritual world. Thank you very much. (end) >>> Ref.
