Kṛṣṇa Is Good in All Circumstances
“The priest continued, “Would the sannyāsī whose name is Mādhavendra Purī please come and take this pot of sweet rice and enjoy the prasādam with great happiness! You are the most fortunate person within these three worlds!””
What the purport teaches
- By Gopīnātha’s stealing for His devotee, Mādhavendra Purī became the most fortunate person within the three worlds.
- Kṛṣṇa is the Absolute Truth, beyond mundane distinctions of moral and immoral. Whatever He does is good.
- The Lord is transcendental, outside the jurisdiction of this material world. The purport explains that He can be understood only by those already living in the spiritual world.
