The liberation of Sārvabhauma Bhattācārva
279
प्रारम्भिक परिचय
According to the Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad (3.19):
apāṇi-pādo javano grahītā   paśyaty acakṣuḥ sa śṛṇoty akarṇaḥ   sa vetti vedyaṁ na ca tasyāsti vettā   tam āhur agryaṁ puruṣaṁ mahāntam
This Vedic  mantra  clearly states,  puruṣaṁ mahāntam . The word  puruṣa  means “person.” That person is confirmed in  Bhagavad-gītā  by Arjuna when he addresses Kṛṣṇa,  puruṣaṁ śāśvatam : “You are the original person.” (Bg. 10.12) This  puruṣaṁ mahāntam  is Śrī Kṛṣṇa. His hands and legs are not mundane, but are completely transcendental. However, when He comes, fools take Him to be an ordinary person ( avajānanti māṁ mūḍhā mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam ). One who has no Vedic knowledge, who has not studied the  Vedas  from the bona fide spiritual master, does not know Kṛṣṇa. Therefore he is a  mūḍha . Such fools take Kṛṣṇa to be an ordinary person ( paraṁ bhāvam ajānantaḥ ). They do not actually know what Kṛṣṇa is.  Manuṣyāṇāṁ sahasreṣu kaścid yatati siddhaye . It is not possible to understand Kṛṣṇa simply by studying the  Vedas  perfectly. One must have the mercy of a devotee ( yat pādam ). Unless one is favored by a devotee, he cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Arjuna also confirms this in  Bhagavad-gītā : “My Lord, it is very difficult to understand Your personality.” The less intelligent class of men cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead without being favored by His devotee. Therefore  Bhagavad-gītā  contains another injunction (Bg. 4.34):
tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ
One has to approach a bona fide spiritual master and surrender to him. Only then can one understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead as a person.
