Adi-tila, Chapter 2 113

earth may be able to reach the moon, but the inhabitants of heaven can reach even
the fiery sphere called the sun. What is impossible for man on earth is easy for the
demigods in heaven because of their different bodies. Similarly, to see the Supreme
Lord one must have the spiritual eyes of devotional service. The Personality of
Godhead is unapproachable by those who are habituated to speculation about the
Absolute Truth in terms of experimental scientific thought, without reference to
the transcendental vibration. The ascending approach to the Absolute Truth ends in
the realization of impersonal Brahman and the localized Paramatma but not the
Supreme Transcendental Personality.

paths; tarnre—Him; bhaje—worship; yei—who; saba—all; brahma—of impersonal
Brahman; Gtma—and of the Supersoul, [Paramatma] ; rupe—in the forms; tanre—
Him; kare—do; anubhava—perceive.

TRANSLATION

Those who walk the paths of knowledge and yoga worship only Him, for it is Him
they perceive as the impersonal Brahman and localized Paramatma.

PURPORT

Those who are fond of mental speculation (jAa@na-marga) or want to meditate in
mystic yoga to find the Absolute Truth must approach the impersonal effulgence of
the Lord and His partial representation respectively. Such persons cannot realize the
eternal form of the Lord.
