Lord Brahma said: O my lord, today, after many and  many years of penance, I have come to know about You. Oh, how unfortunate the embodied living entities are that they are unable to know Your personality ! My Lord, You are the only knowable object because there is nothing supreme beyond You. If there is nothing supposedly superior to you, it is not the Absolute. You exits as the Supreme by exhibiting the creative energy of matter.[1]

O my Lord, I do not see a form superior to Your present form of eternal bliss and knowledge. In your impersonal Brahman effulgence in the spiritual sky, there is no occasional change and no deterioration of internal potency. I surrender unto You because whereas I am proud of my material body and sense, Your Lordship is the cause of the cosmic manifestation and yet You are untouched by matter.[3]

This present form, or any transcendental form expanded by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna, is equally auspicious for all the universe.

Such nondevotees engage their senses in very troublesome and extensive work, and they suffer insomnia at night because their intelligence constantly breaks  their sleep with various mental speculations.

The Supreme Lord, the Personality of Godhead, is always the benefactor of the surrendered souls. His activities are always enacted through His internal potency, Rama , or the goddess of fortune. I pray only to engage in His service in the creation of the material world, and I pray that I not be materially affected by my works, for thus I may by able to give up the false prestige of being the creator.[23]

The Lord’s potencies are innumerable. As He lies down in the water of devastation, I am born as the total universal energy from the navel lake in which the lotus sprouts. I am now engaged in manifesting His diverse energies in the form of the cosmic manifestation. I therefore pray that in the course of my material activities I may not be deviated from the vibration of the Vedic  hymns.[24]

Chapter:21

Your lotus feet are the true vessel to take one across the ocean of mundane nescience. Only persons deprived of their intelligence by the spell of the deluding energy will worship those feet with a view to attain the trivial and momentary pleasures of the sense, which even persons rotting in hell can attain. However, O my Lord, You are so kind that you bestow mercy even upon them. [14]
