Text 232] Explanations of the Atmarama Verse 211
PURPORT
The great saint Narada is so liberated that he can go to the Vaikuntha planets to
see Narayana and then immediately come to this planet in the material world and
go to Praydga to bathe in the confluence of three rivers. The word tri-veni refers
to aconfluence of three rivers. This confluence is still visited by many hundreds of
thousands of people who go there to bathe, especially during the month of Janu-
ary (Magha-mela). A liberated person who has no material body can go anywhere
and everywhere; therefore a living entity is called sarva-ga, which indicates that
he can go anywhere and everywhere. Presently scientists are trying to go to other
planets, but due to their material bodies, they are not free to move at will.
However, when one is situated in his original spiritual body, he can move any-
where and everywhere without difficulty. Within this material world there is a
planet called Siddhaloka, whose inhabitants can go from one planet to another
without the aid of a machine or space rocket. In the material world every planet
has a specific advantage (vibhdti-bhinna). In the spiritual world, however, all the
planets and their inhabitants are composed of spiritual energy. Because there are
no material impediments, it is said that everything in the spiritual world is one.
