feature of the Supreme. In the Bhaguvad-gita it is clearly stated (Bg. 12.5)
that to meditate upon the impersonal feature of the Supreme is very
difficult. }t is practically no meditation or simply a waste of time because
very seldom is the desired result obtained. The devotees, however, medi-
tate upon the Lord’s factual form and pastimes. and therefore the Lord is
easily approachable by the devotees. This is also stated in the Bhagavad-
gita (Bg. 12.9). The Lord is nondifferent from His transcendental activities.
It is indicated also in this sloka that Lord Sri Krsna, while actually present
before the human society, especially in connection with the Battle of
Kuruksetra, was accepted as the greatest Personality of the time, although
He might not have been recognized as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
The propaganda that a very great man is worshiped as God after his death
is misleading because a man after his death cannot be made into God. Nor
can the Personality of Godhead be a human being, even when He is
personally present. Both ideas are misconceptions. The idea of anthropo-
morphism cannot be applicable in the case of Lord Krsna.
