Sastra Reading


"You descend to propagate the transcendental science of devotional service unto the hearts of the advanced transcendentalists and mental speculators, who are purified by being able to discriminate between matter and spirit. How, then, can we women know You perfectly?" 


Even the greatest philosophical speculators cannot have access to the region of the Lord. 

It is said in the Upaniṣads that the Supreme Truth, the Absolute Personality of Godhead, is beyond the range of the thinking power of the greatest philosopher. 

He is unknowable by great learning or by the greatest brain. 

He is knowable only by one who has His mercy. Others may go on thinking about Him for years together, yet He is unknowable. 

This very fact is corroborated by the Queen, who is playing the part of an innocent woman. 
Women in general are unable to speculate like philosophers, but they are blessed by the Lord because they believe at once in the superiority and almightiness of the Lord, and thus they offer obeisances without reservation. 

The Lord is so kind that He does not show special favor only to one who is a great philosopher. He knows the sincerity of purpose. 

For this reason only, women generally assemble in great number in any sort of religious function. 

In every country and in every sect of religion it appears that the women are more interested than the men. 

This simplicity of acceptance of the Lord's authority is more effective than showy insincere religious fervor.

Kuntīdevī prayed to the Lord very submissively, and this is the symptom of a Vaiṣṇava. The Lord, Kṛṣṇa, had come to Kuntīdevī to offer respect to her by taking the dust of her feet. Because Kṛṣṇa considered Kuntīdevī His aunt, He used to touch her feet. But although Kuntīdevī, a great devotee, was in such an exalted position, practically on the level of Yaśodāmayī, Kṛṣṇa's mother, she was so submissive that she prayed, "Kṛṣṇa, You are meant to be understood by the paramahaḿsas, the most advanced transcendentalists, but I am a woman, so how can I see You?

--Teachings of Queen Kunti (chapter three)--

"Śrīmatī Kuntīdevī was quite aware that Kṛṣṇa is the original Personality of Godhead, although He was playing the part of her nephew. Such an enlightened lady could not commit a mistake by offering obeisances unto her nephew. Therefore, she addressed Him as the original puruṣa beyond the material cosmos."

--Teachings of Queen Kunti (SB.1.8.18)--



Srimati Kuntīdevī was quite aware that Kṛṣṇa is the original Personality of Godhead, although He was playing the part of her nephew. Such an enlightened lady could not commit a mistake by offering obeisances unto her nephew. Therefore, she addressed Him as the original puruṣa beyond the material cosmos.

Then again He is addressed as īśvara, or the controller. The living entities or the demigods like Candra and Sūrya are also to some extent īśvara, but none of them is the supreme īśvara, or the ultimate controller. Kṛṣṇa is the parameśvara, or the Supersoul.

Kuntī herself was puzzled about whether Śrī Kṛṣṇa is all-pervasive or localized. In fact, He is both, but He reserves the right of not being exposed to persons who are not surrendered souls. 

--Teachings of Queen Kunti (bhaktivedanta purport)



"Being beyond the range of limited sense perception, You are the eternally irreproachable factor covered by the curtain of deluding energy. You are invisible to the foolish observer, exactly as an actor dressed as a player is not recognized." SB.1.8.19



In the Bhagavad-gītā Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa affirms that less intelligent persons mistake Him to be an ordinary man like us, and thus they deride Him.

When the Lord Himself appears amongst us, as Rāma, Nṛsiḿha, Varāha or in His original form as Kṛṣṇa, He performs many wonderful acts which are humanly impossible.

And yet there is a class of menwho are always reluctant to accept the Lord as the Supreme Absolute Truth. This is partially due to their poor fund of knowledge and partially due to their stubborn obstinacy, which results from various misdeeds in the past and present. Such persons could not recognize Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa even when He was present before them. Another difficulty is that those who depend more on their imperfect senses cannot realize Him as the Supreme Lord.

They want to know everything by their experimental knowledge. But it is not possible to know the Supreme Person by imperfect experimental knowledge. He is described herein as adhokṣaja, or beyond the range of experimental knowledge. All our senses are imperfect. We claim to observe everything and anything, but we must admit that we can observe things under certain material conditions only, which are also beyond our control. The Lord is beyond the observation of sense perception.

--(bhaktivedanta purport)--



Kuntidevi says: tathā paramahaḿsānām: "You are meant to be understood by the paramahaḿsas." The word parama means "ultimate," and haḿsa means "swan." So paramahaḿsa means "the perfect swan." 

If we give a swan milk mixed with water, the swan will take the milk and leave aside the water. Similarly, this material world is made of two natures — the inferior nature and the superior nature. 

The superior nature means spiritual life, and the inferior nature is material life. Thus a person who gives up the material part of this world and takes only the spiritual part is called paramahaḿsa.

One should know that the activities of the body are due to the soul within the body. That is the real fact. The body is only the outward covering. 

Similarly, one should know that Kṛṣṇa is the real center of all activities, and one who knows this is a paramahaḿsa. Thus bhakti-yoga is for the paramahaḿsa, one who knows that Kṛṣṇa is the central fact.

Queen Kuntī was the most intelligent woman, for she recognized Kṛṣṇa to be the Supreme Godhead: "He has come to me to offer me respect, materially appearing to be my nephew, but He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead." 

Therefore she said, alakṣyaḿ sarva-bhūtānām antar bahir avasthitam: "You are not seen by ordinary men, although You are everywhere, inside and outside." 

In another verse also she said, na lakṣyase mūḍha-dṛśā: "Fools and rascals cannot see You." This indicates that Kuntī saw Him. Unless she were able to see Kṛṣṇa as He is, how could she say that.

She also said, prakṛteḥ param: "You are transcendental to this material creation."

But Kuntī always continues to express herself with humility.This humility is very good in devotional service. 

Therefore Śrī Kṛṣṇa Chaitanya Mahāprabhu teaches us, tṛṇād api sunīcena taror api sahiṣṇunā: "One should be more tolerant than the tree and humbler than the grass to make progress in spiritual life."
