manifestation, but the whole show is for the satisfaction of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead. Brahma knows how to satisfy the Lord, and
similarly persons engaged in the line of Brahma’s plan of activities also
know how to satisfy the Lord. The Lord is satisfied by the process of
devotional service, consisting of the ninefold process of hearing, chanting,
etc. It is in one’s own self-interest to execute prescribed devotional
service, and anyone who neglects this process neglects his own self-interest.
Everyone wants to satisfy his senses, but above the senses is the mind,
above the mind is the intelligence, above the intelligence is the individual
self, and above the individual self there is the Superself. Above even the
Superself there is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Visnu-tattva. The
primeval Lord and the cause of all causes is Sri Krsna. The complete pro-
cess of perfectional service is to render service for the satisfaction of the
transcendental senses of Lord Krsna, who is known as Janardana.
