Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devoteesLoving Service Is Yoga’s Highest Perfection
“When Dhruva Mahārāja thus captured the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the refuge of the total material creation and who is the master of all living entities, the three worlds began to tremble.”
What the purport teaches
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the origin and resting place of Brahman. His transcendental form is the seed of all greatness.
- Kṛṣṇa controls both matter and the living entities, entering everything—even the atom. With the Supreme Brahman situated in his heart, Dhruva Mahārāja became so great that the worlds trembled.
- The topmost yogī always thinks of Kṛṣṇa within the heart and engages in His loving transcendental service. A pure devotee can surpass the wonderful material powers of ordinary yogīs.
