Text 192] Explanations of the Atmarama Verse 187
vice of the Supreme Personality of Godhead—who acts very wonderfully —
and follow the path of the devotees and take lessons from them. Although the
ocean of nescience is vast, they can still cross over it. What, then, is the
difficulty for those who are advanced in Vedic knowledge?’
PURPORT
This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (2.7.46). Lord Brahma said this
when speaking to his disciple Narada about the wonderful characteristics of Lord
Visnu. Simply by chanting the glories of Lord Visnu, one can cross the ocean of
nescience, even though one may be lowborn.
