1272 Stimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 29

gita. Janma karma ca me divyam: the activities and the appearance and
disappearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are transcendental;
they are not to be considered material. Anyone who knows this fact—that
the appearance, disappearance and activities of the Lord are beyond
material activities or material conception—is liberated. Yo vetti tattvatah
tyaktva deham punar janma: such a person, after quitting his body, does
not come back again to this material world, but goes to the Supreme
Person. It is confirmed here, purusah purusam vrajet: the living entity
goes to the Supreme Personality simply by understanding His transcen-
dental nature and activities.

PURPORT

Everyone is afraid of the activities of time, but a devotee who knows
that the time factor is another representation or manifestation of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead has nothing to fear from the influence
of time. The phrase riipa-bheddspadam is very significant. By the
influence of time, so many forms are changing. For example, when a
child is born his form is small, but in the course of time that form
