72 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 17

TRANSLATION

“The holy name of Krsna, His body and His pastimes cannot be understood
by blunt material senses. They are manifest independently.

PURPORT

The transcendental body of Krsna, His name, form, qualities, pastimes and en-
tourage all constitute the Absolute Truth and are as good as Krsna (sac-cid-
dnanda-vigraha). As long as the living entity is conditioned by the three modes of
material nature— (goodness, passion and ignorance) —the objects of his material
senses —material form, taste, smell, sound and touch—will not help him under-
stand spiritual knowledge and bliss. Rather, these are revealed to the pure devo-
tee. One's material name, form and qualities are certainly different from one
another. In the material world, there is no conception of absolute; however, when
we come to Krsna consciousness we find that there is no material difference be-
tween Krsna’s body and His names, activities and entourage.
