Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesHearing Kṛṣṇa Gives the Senses Real Pleasure
“Śaunaka continued: There is no one who knows more than the Lord Himself. No one is more worshipable or more mature a yogī than He. He is therefore the master of the Vedas, and to hear about Him always is the actual pleasure of the senses.”
What the purport teaches
- No one is equal to or greater than Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He supplies the necessities of all other living entities and surpasses everyone in all opulences.
- Anyone constantly associated with the Supreme Lord is accepted as a first-class yogī. A devotee’s extraordinary power is the Lord’s concession.
- Kṛṣṇa’s instructions are transcendental and nondifferent from Him. Repeatedly hearing His teachings and chanting His glories bring fresh enlightenment and increasing happiness.
