Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionGlorify the Lord’s Transcendental Qualities
“I am very much pleased by your description of Me in terms of My transcendental qualities, which appear mundane to the mundaners. I grant you all benedictions in your desire to glorify all the planets by your activities.”
What the purport teaches
- Pure devotees desire that every living entity throughout the universe should know the Lord. The Lord blesses this desire.
- The Lord possesses transcendental qualities, not material qualities. Describing Him merely as an embodiment of material goodness does not properly glorify Him.
- Although the Lord is kind and merciful to all living entities, His pure devotees are especially dear to Him.
