Translation<\/h2>\n

I again offer my respectful obeisances unto the form of complete existence and transcendence, who is the liberator of the pious devotees from all distresses and the destroyer of the further advances in atheistic temperament of the nondevotee-demons. For the transcendentalists who are situated in the topmost spiritual perfection, He grants their specific destinations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lord \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is the complete form of all existence, both material and spiritual. Akhila<\/i> means complete, or that which is not khila,<\/i> inferior. As stated in the Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101<\/a>,<\/i> there are two kinds of nature (prak\u1e5bti<\/i>), namely the material nature and the spiritual nature, or the external and internal potencies of the Lord. The material nature is called apar\u0101,<\/i> or inferior, and the spiritual nature is called superior or transcendental. Therefore the form of the Lord is not of the inferior, material nature. He is complete transcendence. And He is m\u016brti,<\/i> or having transcendental form. The less intelligent men, who are unaware of His transcendental form, describe Him as impersonal Brahman. But Brahman is simply the rays of His transcendental body (yasya prabh\u0101<\/i>). The devotees, who are aware of His transcendental form, render Him service; therefore the Lord also reciprocates by His causeless mercy and thus delivers His devotees from all distresses. The pious men who follow the rulings of the Vedas<\/i> are also dear to Him, and therefore the pious men of this world are also protected by Him. The impious and the nondevotees are against the principles of the Vedas,<\/i> and so such persons are always hampered from making advances in their nefarious activities. Some of them, who are specially favored by the Lord, are killed by Him personally, as in the cases of R\u0101va\u1e47a, Hira\u1e47yaka\u015bipu and Ka\u1e41sa, and thus such demons get salvation and are thereby checked from further progress in their demoniac activities. Just like a kind father, either in His favor upon the devotees or His punishment of the demons He is ever kind to everyone because He is the complete existence for all individual existence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The paramaha\u1e41sa<\/i> stage of existence is the highest perfectional stage of spiritual values. According to \u015ar\u012bmat\u012b Kunt\u012bdev\u012b, the Lord is factually understood by the paramaha\u1e41sas<\/i> only. As there is gradual realization of the transcendence from impersonal Brahman to localized Param\u0101tm\u0101 to the Personality of Godhead, Puru\u1e63ottama, Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, similarly there is gradual promotion of one\u2019s situation in the spiritual life of sanny\u0101sa.<\/i> Ku\u1e6d\u012bcaka, bah\u016bdaka, parivr\u0101jak\u0101c\u0101rya<\/i> and paramaha\u1e41sa<\/i> are gradual progressive stages in the renounced order of life, sanny\u0101sa,<\/i> and Queen Kunt\u012bdev\u012b, the mother of the P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0davas, has spoken about them in her prayers for Lord K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a (Canto One, Chapter Eight). The paramaha\u1e41sas<\/i> are generally found among both the impersonalists and the devotees, but according to \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam<\/a><\/i> (as clearly stated by Kunt\u012bdev\u012b), pure bhakti-yoga<\/i> is understood by the paramaha\u1e41sas,<\/i> and Kunt\u012bdev\u012b has especially mentioned that the Lord descends (paritr\u0101\u1e47\u0101ya s\u0101dh\u016bn\u0101m<\/i>) especially to award bhakti-yoga<\/i> to the paramaha\u1e41sas.<\/i> So ultimately the paramaha\u1e41sas,<\/i> in the true sense of the term, are unalloyed devotees of the Lord. \u015ar\u012bla J\u012bva Gosv\u0101m\u012b has directly accepted that the highest destination is bhakti-yoga,<\/i> by which one accepts the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Those who accept the path of bhakti-yoga<\/i> are the factual paramaha\u1e41sas.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Since the Lord is very kind to everyone, the impersonalists, who accept bhakti<\/i> as the means of merging in the existence of the Lord in His impersonal brahmajyoti,<\/i> are also awarded their desired destination. In the Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101<\/i> (4.11)<\/a> He has assured everyone: ye yath\u0101 m\u0101\u1e41 prapadyante.<\/i> According to \u015ar\u012bla Vi\u015bvan\u0101tha Cakravart\u012b, there are two classes of paramaha\u1e41sas,<\/i> namely the brahm\u0101nand\u012bs<\/i> (impersonalists) and the prem\u0101nand\u012bs<\/i> (devotees), and both are awarded their desired destinations, although the prem\u0101nand\u012bs<\/i> are more fortunate than the brahm\u0101nand\u012bs.<\/i> But both the brahm\u0101nand\u012bs<\/i>and the prem\u0101nand\u012bs<\/i> are transcendentalists, and they have nothing to do with the inferior, material nature full of the existential miseries of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
