TEACHINGS OF QUEEN KUNTĪ
going on so nicely if there is no controller? If we see any establishment going on very well, we immediately understand that the manager, director, or controller of the institution is expert. Similarly, if we see the universal affairs going on nicely, we must know that behind them is a good controller. And who is that controller? That controller is Kṛṣṇa, as stated in  Bhagavad-gītā  ( mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram ). Therefore Kuntī addresses Him as  viśveśa , the controller of the universe. People are interested only in pictures of Kṛṣṇa embracing Rādhārāṇī that depict the dealings of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa to be like those of ordinary boys and girls. They don't understand Kṛṣṇa. Such obnoxious pictures should be avoided. Kṛṣṇa is the supreme controller. Let there be a picture showing how Kṛṣṇa is controlling the whole universe. That kind of picture is wanted, not these cheap pictures.
Unless the living force is present within the body, the body cannot move or work nicely, and similarly within the universe, the cosmic manifestation, Kṛṣṇa is present as the living force—Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu, or Paramātmā. Therefore Kuntī addresses Kṛṣṇa as  viśvātmā , the soul of the universe. Rascals do not know how this world is moving and how this universe is acting, and therefore they should learn from  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam .
Kuntīdevī also addresses Kṛṣṇa as  viśva-mūrti , the personality of the form of the universe. When Arjuna wanted to see Kṛṣṇa's universal form, Kṛṣṇa immediately manifested it. This is another of Kṛṣṇa's opulences ( vibhūti ). The original form of the Lord, however, is Kṛṣṇa with two hands, playing on the flute. Because Arjuna was a devotee and wanted to see the universal form, Kṛṣṇa showed it to him, but that was not His actual form. A person may dress himself as a king, but his real, natural appearance is shown at home. Similarly, Kṛṣṇa's real form is seen at home in Vṛndāvana, and all other forms are expansions of His plenary portions. As stated in the  Brahma-saṁhitā ,  advaitam acyutam anādim ananta-rūpam : He can expand Himself in millions and millions of forms ( ananta-rūpam ), but He is one ( advaita ), and He is infallible ( acyuta ). His real form, however, is the  dvi-bhuja muralī-dhara —the form with two hands holding a flute. Therefore Kuntīdevī says, "You have Your universal form, but the form in which You are standing before me is Your real form."
Kuntīdevī prays, "Please sever my tie of affection for my kinsmen." We are thinking, "This is my own, that is my own," but this is  moha , illusion ( janasya moho 'yam aham mameti ). How does this illusion come into existence? It begins with the natural attraction between man and
