almost eighty-four percent of the attributes. But the jivas or the individual
living beings in different statuses of life possess up to the limit of seventy-
eight percent of the attributes. In the conditioned state of material exis-
tence, the living being possesses these attributes in very minute quantity,
varying in terms of the pious life of the living being. The most perfect of
living beings is Brahma, the supreme administrator of one universe. He
possesses seventy-eight percent of the attributes in full. All other demigods
have the same attributes in less quantity, whereas human beings possess
the attributes in very minute quantity. The standard of perfection for a
human being is to develop the attributes up to seventy-eight percent in
full. The living being can never possess attributes like Siva, Visnu or Lord
Krsna. A living being can become godly by developing the seventy-eight
percent transcendental attributes in fullness, but he can never become a
God like Siva, Visnu or Krsna. He can become a Brahma in due course. The
godly living beings who are all residents of the planets in the spiritual sky
are eternal associates of God in different spiritual planets called Hari-dhama
and Mahega-dhama. The abode of Lord Krsna above all spiritual planets is
called Krsnaloka or Goloka Vrndavana, and the perfected living being by
developing seventy-eight percent of the above attributes in fullness can
enter the planet of Krsnaloka after leaving the present material body.
