We shall never be in rest even though continuously hearing the transcendental pastimes of the Personality of Godhead who is glorified by good prayers. Those who have developed the particular humour of transcedental mellow, do relish in every step such description of pastimes of the Lord.

That is the difference between mundane stories, fiction or history and transcenedental pastimes of the Lord. It is for this reason only that the old history of the whole universe is inculcated with reference to the pastimes of the incarnations of Godhead. Ramayan, Mahabharat or the Puranas are histories of the bygone ages recorded in connection with the pastimes of the incarnation of the Lord so that the reading matter would remain overfresh even by repeated and repeated readings. For example let us take the matter of the Bhagwat Geeta or that of the Srimad Bhagwatam. Any one may go on reading these transcendental books repeatedly for the whole life and still he will find in them new light of information. Mundane news are static whereas the transcendental news are dynamic as much as the spirit is dynamic where as the matter is static. And those who have developed the humour for understanding the transcendental subject matter shall never become tired of hearing such narrations. One is satiated by mundane activities and no body is satiated by transcendental or devotional activities. #i#Uttama Sloka#/i# means the literature which is not meant for the nescience. Mundane literature are #i#Tamas#/i# or in the modes of darkness of ignorance whereas the transcendental literatures are different from them. They are above such modes of darkness and the light is more and more illuminated in course of progressive reading and realisation of transcendental subject matter. The so called liberated persons are never satisfied by repetition of the word #i#Aham Brahmasmi#/i#. Such artificial realisation of Brahma becomes hackneyed and thus for relishing real humour they turn to the narrations of the Srimad Bhagwatam. And those who are not so much fortunate they turn to worldly matters of philanthropy and altruism. This means the Mayavada philosophy is mundane whereas the philosophy of the Bhagwat Geeta and that of the Srimad Bhagwatam are transcendental.

We never tire of hearing the transcendental pastimes of the Personality of Godhead, who is glorified by hymns and prayers. Those who have developed a taste for transcendental relationships with Him relish hearing of His pastimes at every moment.

There is a great difference between mundane stories, fiction, or history and the transcendental pastimes of the Lord. The histories of the whole universe contain references to the pastimes of the incarnations of the Lord. The #i#Rāmāyaṇa#/i#, the #i#Mahābhārata#/i#, and the #i#Purāṇas#/i# are histories of bygone ages recorded in connection with the pastimes of the incarnations of the Lord and therefore remain fresh even after repeated readings. For example, anyone may read #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i# or the #i#Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam#/i# repeatedly throughout his whole life and yet find in them new light of information. Mundane news is static whereas transcendental news is dynamic, inasmuch as the spirit is dynamic and matter is static. Those who have developed a taste for understanding the transcendental subject matter are never tired of hearing such narrations. One is quickly satiated by mundane activities, but no one is satiated by transcendental or devotional activities. #i#Uttama-śloka#/i# indicates that literature which is not meant for nescience. Mundane literature is in the mode of darkness or ignorance, whereas transcendental literature is quite different. Transcendental literature is above the mode of darkness, and its light becomes more luminous with progressive reading and realization of the transcendental subject matter. The so-called liberated persons are never satisfied by the repetition of the words #i#ahaṁ brahmāsmi#/i#. Such artificial realization of Brahman becomes hackneyed, and so to relish real pleasure they turn to the narrations of the #i#Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam#/i#. Those who are not so fortunate turn to altruism and worldly philanthropy. This means the Māyāvāda philosophy is mundane, whereas the philosophy of #i#Bhagavad-gītā#/i# and #i#Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam#/i# is transcendental.
