TRANSLATION You are the
father of this complete cosmic manifestation, the worshipable chief, the
spiritual master. No one is equal to You, nor can anyone be one with You.
Within the three worlds, You are immeasurable.
PURPORT The Lord Krsna
is worshipable as a father is worshipable for his son. He is the spiritual
master because He originally gave the Vedic instructions to Brahma, and
presently He is also instructing Bhagavad-gita to Arjuna; therefore
He is the original spiritual master, and any bona fide spiritual master
at the present moment must be a descendant in the line of disciplic succession
stemming from Krsna. Without being a representative of Krsna, one cannot
become a teacher or spiritual master of transcendental subject matter.
The Lord
is being paid obeisances in all respects. He is of immeasurable greatness.
No one can be greater than the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, because
no one is equal to or higher than Krsna within any manifestation, spiritual
or material. Everyone is below Him. No one can excel Him.
The Supreme
Lord Krsna has senses and a body like the ordinary man, but for Him there
is no difference between His senses, body, mind and Himself. Foolish persons
who do not know Him perfectly say that Krsna is different from His soul,
mind, heart and everything else. Krsna is absolute; therefore His activities
and potencies are supreme. It is also stated that He does not have senses
like ours. He can perform all sensual activities; therefore His senses
are neither imperfect nor limited. No one can be greater than Him, no one
can be equal to Him, and everyone is lower than Him.
Whoever
knows His transcendental body, activities and perfection, after quitting
his body, returns to Him and doesn't come back again to this miserable
world. Therefore one should know that Krsna's activities are different
from others. The best policy is to follow the principles of Krsna; that
will make one perfect. It is also stated that there is no one who is master
of Krsna; everyone is His servant. Only Krsna is God, and everyone is His
servant. Everyone is complying with His order. There is no one who can
deny His order. Everyone is acting according to His direction, being under
His superintendence. As stated in the Brahma-samhita, He is the
cause of all causes.
