Text 88] Explanations of the Atmarama Verse 125

TRANSLATION
‘The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, the son of mother Yasoda,
is accessible to those devotees engaged in spontaneous loving service, but He
is not as easily accessible to mental speculators, to those striving for self-
realization by severe austerities and penances, or to those who consider the
body the same as the self.’
PURPORT
This verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.9.21) is spoken by Srila Sukadeva
Gosvami. It concerns the statement about Krsna’s being subjugated by the gopis
and thus glorifying them.
