Kṛṣṇa’s mother, father, abode, house, bedding, seats and so on are all transformations of śuddha-sattva.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Kṛṣṇa’s mother, father, abode and household furnishings are all transformations of śuddha-sattva. His family and household affairs share the same viśuddha-sattva existence.
Kṛṣṇa consciousness begins on the platform of pure goodness. Although realization is faint at first, Kṛṣṇa is actually realized as Vāsudeva, the prime predominating Deity of all potencies.
Situated in viśuddha-sattva, beyond the three material modes, a living entity can perceive the Lord’s form and qualities through a service attitude. Pure goodness is the platform of understanding because the Lord always exists spiritually.
