[[Madhya-lilā Ch 17
TRANSLATION
“The holy name of Kṛṣṇa, His body and His pastimes cannot be understood by blunt material senses. They are manifest independently.
PURPORT
The transcendental body of Krṣṇa, His name, form, qualities, pastimes and entourage all constitute the Absolute Truth and are as good as Krṣṇa ( sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha ). As long as the living entity is conditioned by the three modes of material nature—(goodness, passion and ignorance)—the objects of his material senses—material form, taste, smell, sound and touch—will not help him understand spiritual knowledge and bliss. Rather, these are revealed to the pure devotee. One’s material name, form and qualities are certainly different from one another. In the material world, there is no conception of absolute; however, when we come to Krṣṇa consciousness we find that there is no material difference between Krṣṇa’s body and His names, activities and entourage.
