overcome by material action. The individual living entities are eternally
part and parcel of God. As minute sparks of the original fire, Krsna, they
have the tendency to become extinguished.

Akriira continued: “The less intelligent class of men misunderstand
Your transcendental form to be also made of material energy. That con-
cept is not at all applicable to You. Actually, You are all spiritual, and
there is no. difference between You and Your body. Because of this, there
is no question of Your being conditioned or liberated. You are ever-
liberated in any condition of life. As stated in the Bhagaved-gita, ‘Only the
fools and rascals consider You to be an ordinary man.’ To consider Your
Lordship to be one of us, conditioned by the material nature, is a mistake
due to our imperfect knowledge. When people deviate from the original
knowledge of the Vedas, they try to identify the ordinary living entities
with Your Lordship. Your Lordship has appeared on this earth in Your
original form in order to reestablish the real knowledge that the living
entities are neither one with nor equal to the Supreme God. My dear
Lord, You are always situated in uncontaminated goodness (suddha-

to fulfill this mission, You have glorified the dynasty of Yadu, appearing
in the family as one of its members.

Personality of Godhead, who is worshipable by all different kinds of demi-
gods, Pitrs, living entities, kings and emperors, and who is the Supersoul
of everything, has come into my home. The water of His lotus feet is
purifying the three worlds, and now He has kindly come to my place. Who
is there in the three worlds among factually learned men who will not take
shelter of Your lotus feet and surrender unto You? Who, knowing well
that no one can be as affectionate as You are to Your devotees, is so
foolish that he will decline to become Your devotee? Throughout the
Vedic literature it is declared that You are the dearmost friend of every
living entity. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita: suhrdati sarva-
bhiitanam. You are the Supreme Personality of Godhead, completely
capable of fulfilling the desires of Your devotees. You are the real friend
