position of the Lord and the transcendental method by which one can
approach that transcendental dhama, the King was confident about his
ultimate destination, and by knowing this he could leave aside everything
material, even his own body, without aniy difficulty of attachment. In the
Bhagavad-gita, it is stated, param dystvd nivartate, or one can give up all
connection of the material attachment when one is able to see the param,
or the superior quality of things. We understand the superior quality of
energy of the Lord and the material quality of material energy from the
Bhagavad-gita and by the grace of a bona fide spiritual master like Sukadeva
Gosvami. It is quite possible to know everything of the superior energy
of the Lord by which the Lord manifests His eternal name, quality,
pastimes, paraphernalia and variegatedness. Unless one thoroughly under-
stands this superior or eternal energy of the Lord, it is not possible to
leave the material energy, however one may theoretically speculate on the
true nature of the Absolute Truth. By the grace of Lord Krsna, Maharaja
Pariksit was able to receive the mercy of a personality like Sukadeva
Gosvami, and thus he was able to know the actual position of the uncon-
querable Lord. It is very difficult to find the Lord from the Vedic litera-
tures, but it is very easy to know Him by the mercy of a liberated devotee
like Sukadeva Gosvami.
