form and variety. | sincerely take shelter of that form of Yours which | am now
seeing. This form is the original source of all living beings and their senses.’
PURPORT
This is a quotation from Srimad-Bhagavatam (3.9.3). This verse was spoken by
Lord Brahma, who perfectly realized the Supreme Personality of Godhead after
meditating upon the Lord within the water of the Garbhodhaka Ocean. Brahma
realized that the form of the Lord is completely spiritual. This is certainly a better
understanding of the Absolute Truth than impersonal understanding.

He is celebrated in Vedic literature. Everything is Krsna, and without Him
there is no existence. He is the root of all understanding, and He is that which
is understood by all words.’
