Adi-lila, Chapter 6 561
PURPORT
Although Lord Baladeva appeared before the birth of Lord Krsna and is therefore
Krsna’s worshipable elder brother, He used to act as Krsna’s eternal servitor. In the
spiritual sky all the Vaikuntha planets are predominated by the quadruple expan-
sions of Krsna known as the catur-vyiiha. They are direct expansions from Baladeva.
It is the singularity of the Supreme Lord that everyone in the spiritual sky thinks
himself a servitor of the Lord. According to social convention one may be superior
to Krsna, but factually everyone engages in His service. Therefore in the spiritual
sky or the material sky, in all the different planets, no one is able to supersede Lord
Krsna or demand service from Him. On the contrary, everyone engages in the
service of Lord Krsna. As such, the more a person engages in the service of the
Lord, the more he is important; and, conversely, the more one is bereft of the
transcendental service of Krsna, the more he invites the bad fortune of material
contamination. In the material world, although materialists want to become one
with God or compete with God, everyone directly or indirectly engages in the ser-
vice of the Lord. The more one is forgetful of the service of Krsna, the more he is
considered to be dying. Therefore, when one develops pure Krsna consciousness, he
immediately develops his eternal servitorship to Krsna.
