Lectures and Commentaries on Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 2, made in Vrindavan (India)
The purpose of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is to glorify the Supreme Absolute Truth, known as Śrī Kṛṣṇa, for the benefit of the suffering humanity. Śrī Vyāsa himself calls this Purāṇa the ripened fruit of the Vedic tree and compares it to the personification of rasa, or devotional relish. It is to be tasted by the rasikas, the connoisseurs of rasa, and relished by the sahṛdayas, the sober-hearted people or those whose hearts are imbued with sattva (SB 1.1.3)
The spiritual world is not somewhere else. It is right here. It depends on your angle of vision – same place, same thing is now different. Like a tv with 100 channels, it depends on which channel. Whatever show you are watching, you are absorbed in that show. All is there, all the channels are hanging in the same ether – depending on where you tune to, you see that. Krishna is right here, but you are not tuned to Him.
