Āśraya· The supreme shelterThe Supreme Lord Is Beyond Illusion
“My obeisances unto You, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Soul, within whom there is no trace of the illusory energy, which orchestrates the creation of this world.”
What the purport teaches
- Varuṇa offers obeisances to Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Absolute Truth, and the Supreme Soul.
- Vedic literature contains authorized statements from the Lord or His enlightened representatives. These authorities never attribute the fault of illusion to the Supreme Lord.
- The Lord is complete in Himself and controls all living entities. The material, illusory energy has no authority over Him.
