Ādi-līlā, Chapter 2
113
earth may be able to reach the moon, but the inhabitants of heaven can reach even the fiery sphere called the sun. What is impossible for man on earth is easy for the demigods in heaven because of their different bodies. Similarly, to see the Supreme Lord one must have the spiritual eyes of devotional service. The Personality of Godhead is unapproachable by those who are habituated to speculation about the Absolute Truth in terms of experimental scientific thought, without reference to the transcendental vibration. The ascending approach to the Absolute Truth ends in the realization of impersonal Brahman and the localized Paramātmā but not the Supreme Transcendental Personality.
TEXT 26
জ্ঞানযোগমার্গে তাঁরে ভক্তে যেই সব।
ব্রহ্ম-আত্মরূপে তাঁরে করে অমুন্তব ॥ ২৬ ॥
jñāna-yoga-mārge tāṅre bhaje yei saba brahma-ātma-rūpe tāṅre kare anubhava
SYNONYMS
jñāna —of philosophical speculation;  yoga —and of mystic  yoga ;  mārge —on the paths;  tāṅre —Him;  bhaje —worship;  yei —who;  saba —all;  brahma —of impersonal Brahman;  ātma —and of the Supersoul, [Paramātmā];  rūpe —in the forms;  tāṅre —Him;  kare —do;  anubhava —perceive.
TRANSLATION
Those who walk the paths of knowledge and yoga worship only Him, for it is Him they perceive as the impersonal Brahman and localized Paramātmā.
PURPORT
Those who are fond of mental speculation ( jñāna-mārga ) or want to meditate in mystic  yoga  to find the Absolute Truth must approach the impersonal effulgence of the Lord and His partial representation respectively. Such persons cannot realize the eternal form of the Lord.
