Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 25.33
Brahman Indicates the Supreme Person
“The word ‘Brahman’ [‘the greatest’] indicates the Supreme Personality of Godhead, full in all six opulences. But if we take the onesided impersonalist view, His fullness is diminished.
What the purport teaches
- The word ‘Brahman,’ meaning ‘the greatest,’ indicates the Supreme Personality of Godhead, full in all six opulences.
- The Lord is originally the Supreme Person. He expands Himself impersonally through His potency.
- A one-sided impersonal understanding diminishes His fullness rather than recognizing all that He is.
