562 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 1, Ch. 11

PURPORT

The all-good Personality of Godhead, being the creator of the universe,
also plans for the good of all good living beings. The good living beings are
advised by the Lord to follow His good advice, and by doing so they be-
come successful in all spheres of life. There is no need to worship any deity
but the Lord. The Lord is all-powerful, and if He is satisfied by our obedi-
ence unto His lotus feet, He is competent to bestow upon us all kinds of
blessings for the successful execution of both our material and spiritual
lives. For attaining spiritual existence, the human form is a chance for all
to understand our eternal relation with God. Our relation with Him is
eternal; it can neither be broken nor vanquished. It may be forgotten for
the time being, but it can be revived also by the grace of the Lord, if we
follow His injunctions, which are revealed in the scriptures of all times and
all places.

TRANSLATION

Oh, it is our good luck that we have come again today under Your
protection by Your presence, for Your Lordship rarely visits even the
denizens of heaven. Now it is possible for us to look into Your smiling
face, which is full of affectionate glances. We can now see Your tran-
scendental form, full of all auspiciousness.
