TEXT 34
- śruti-purāṇa kahe-kṛṣṇera cic-chakti-vilāsa
- tāhā nāhi māni, paṇḍita kare upahāsa
SYNONYMS
śruti-purāṇa kahe — the Vedas, the Upaniṣads, the Brahma-sūtra and the Purāṇas confirm; kṛṣṇera — of Lord Kṛṣṇa; cit-śakti-vilāsa — activities of spiritual potencies; tāhā nāhi māni — not accepting that; paṇḍita kare upahāsa — so-called scholars play jokes without perfect understanding.
TRANSLATION
"The Vedas, the Upaniṣads, the Brahma-sūtra and the Purāṇas all describe the activities of the spiritual potency of the Lord. If one cannot accept the personal activities of the Lord, he jokes foolishly and gives an impersonal description.
PURPORT
In the Vedic literatures, including the Purāṇas, there are full descriptions of the spiritual potency of Kṛṣṇa. All the pastimes of the Lord are eternal, blissful and full of knowledge, just as the form of Kṛṣṇa Himself is eternal, blissful and full of knowledge (sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha (BS 5.1)). Unintelligent people with a poor fund of knowledge compare their temporary bodies to the spiritual body of Kṛṣṇa, and by such foolishness they try to understand Kṛṣṇa as one of them. Avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam. The Bhagavad-gītā (BG 9.11) points out that foolish people think of Kṛṣṇa as one of them. Not understanding His spiritual potency, they simply decry the personal form of the Absolute Truth, foolishly thinking of themselves as jñānīs cognizant of the complete truth. They cannot understand that just as the material energy of the Lord has a variety of activities, the spiritual energy has variety also. They consider activities in devotional service the same as activities in material consciousness. Under such a wrong impression, they sometimes dare joke about the spiritual activities of the Lord and His devotional service.
