Conclusion of Teachings to Sanatan Goswami

by one word:  Atmarama . Just as in the forest, there may be different kinds of trees, but only by saying that there are trees there, the meaning is understood.
Thus the Lord completed 60 different meanings of the word  Atmarama . And then He again said that  Atma  means “the living entity, beginning from the first living creature, Brahma, down to the ant.” He cited a verse from  Vishnu Purana , Sixth Chapter, in which it is stated that the energies of the Lord are all spiritual. Of them, the energy which is known as the source of the living entity is also spiritual, but the other energy, which is full of ignorance and is manifested in material activities, is called material Nature. The living entities are innumerable, even in the material creation, and if by chance one of them or some of them can get the association of a pure devotee, then they can be engaged in the pure devotional service of Krishna. The Lord said, “Formerly I thought of 60 different meanings for the word  Atmarama , but here another meaning came to My mind by your association.”
Sanatan Goswami, after hearing from the Lord about different meanings of the word  Atmarama , was struck with wonder and fell down in devotion at the feet of Lord Chaitanya.

So, as Krishna is unlimited, similarly, in each word and each letter of  Srimad Bhagwatam , there are unlimited meanings, and one can understand them by association of devotees. Don’t, then, say that  Bhagwatam  is a collection of answers to questions.”
There were six questions put by the sages of Nayamisharanya to Sukadeva Goswami, and Sukadeva Goswami explained or answered the six questions in the  Srimad Bhagwatam . There is a verse in the Vedic literature in which Lord Shiva says, “So far as  Bhagwatam  is concerned, I may know or Sukadeva may know or Vyasadeva may know It or not know It—but actually  Bhagwatam  is to be understood by devotional service, and from a devotee, and not by one’s own intelligence or by learned comments.”
The sages of Nayamisharanya asked, “My dear sir, kindly tell us now, after the departure of the Lord for His own Abode, if the principles of religion
