Āśraya· The supreme shelterKṛṣṇa Is the Ultimate Absolute Truth
“O my lord, being changelessly situated in your own abode, you expand your universal form within this cosmic manifestation, thus appearing to taste the material world. You are Brahman, the Supersoul, the oldest, the Personality of Godhead.”
What the purport teaches
- The Absolute Truth appears as impersonal Brahman, the localized Supersoul, and ultimately the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa.
- The cosmic manifestation is the Lord’s gross material body. His parts and parcels, the living entities, are qualitatively one with Him.
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead enjoys spiritual mellows in the Vaikuṇṭha planets. The one Absolute Truth pervades all through His cosmic manifestation, Brahman effulgence, and personal existence as the Supreme Lord.
