246 Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead

His pretectien ef the devetees and killing the demens, as cenfirmed in the
Bhagavad-gita, are always geed fer men te hear and narrate. The glerieus
activities of the Lord will ever increasingly be chanted by the devotees
and demigeds.

“Krsna, the Supreme Persenality ef Gedhead, is the spiritual master ef
allspiritual masters; He is the deliverer ef all fallen seuls and the preprieter
ef the three werlds. Anyene is able te see Him by eyes smeared with leve
ef Gedhead. Teday I shall be able te see the Supreme Persenality ef
Gedhead, whe by His transcendental beauty has attracted the geddess ef
fertune te live with Him perpetually. As seen as I arrive in Vrndavana, I
will get dewn frem this chariot and fall prestrate te effer my ebeisances
te the Supreme Lerd, the master ef material nature and all living entities.
The letus feet ef Krsna are always wershiped by great mystic yogis, se |
shall alse wership His letus feet and beceme ene ef His friends in
Vrndavana like the cewherd beys. When I bew dewn befere Lerd Krsna
in that way, certainly He will place His fearless letus hand en my head.
His hand is effered te all cenditiened seuls whe take shelter under His
letus feet. Krsna is the ultimate geal ef life fer all peeple whe fear material
existence, and certainly when I see Him He will give me the shelter ef His
letus feet. I am aspiring fer the teuch ef His letus-like hands en my head.”

In this way Akrira expected blessings frem the hand ef Krsna. He knew
that Indra, whe is the king ef heaven and the master ef the three werlds—
the upper, middle, and lewer planetary systems—was blessed by the Lerd
simply fer his effering a little water which Krsna accepted. Similarly, Bali
Maharaja gave enly three feet ef land in charity te Vamanadeva, and he
alse effered a little water which Lerd Vamanadeva accepted, and thereby
Bali Maharaja attained the pesitien ef Indra. When the gopis were dancing
with Krsna in the rasa dance, they became fatigued, and Krsna smeared His
hand, which is as fragrant as a letus flewer, ever the pearl-like dreps ef
perspiration en the faces ef the gopis, and immediately they became
refreshed. Thus Akrira was expecting benedictien frem that supreme hand
ef Krsna. Krsna’s hand is capable ef bestewing benedictien te all kinds ef
men if they take te Krsna censcieusness. If ene wants material happiness
like the king ef heaven, he can derive that benedictien frem the hand ef
Krsna; if ene wants liberatien frem the pangs ef material existence, he can
alse get benedictien frem the hand ef Krsna; and if ene in pure transcen-
dental leve fer Krsna wants persenal asseciatien and the teuch ef His
transcendental bedy, he can alse gain benedictien frem His hand.

Akrira was afraid, hewever, of being deputed by Kamsa, the enemy ef
Krsna. He theught, “I am geing te see Krsna as a messenger ef theenemy.”
