TRANSLATION
From his very birth, Utkala was fully satisfied and unattached to the
world. He was equipoised, for he could see everything resting in the Super-
soul and the Supersoul present in everyone’s heart.
PURPORT
The symptoms and characteristics of Utkala, the son of Maharaja Dhruva,
are those of a mahda-bhagavata. As stated in the Bhagavad-gita (Bg. 6.30),
yo mdm pasyati sarvatra sarvarn ca mayi pasyati: a highly advanced devo-
tee sees the Supreme Personality of Godhead everywhere, and He also sees
everything resting in the Supreme. It is also confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita
(Bg. 9.4), maya tatam idam sarvam jagad avyakta-mirtina: Lord Krsna is
spread all over the universe in His impersonal feature. Everything is resting
on Him, but that does not mean that everything is He Himself. A highly ad-
vanced mahd-bhagavata devotee sees in this spirit: he sees the same Super-
soul, Paramatma, existing within everyone’s heart, regardless of discrimina-
tion based on the different material forms of the living entities. He sees
everyone as part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The
maha-bhagavata who experiences the Supreme Godhead’s presence every-
where is never missing from the sight of the Supreme Lord, nor is the Su-
preme Lord ever lost from his sight. This is only possible when one is ad-
vanced in love of Godhead.
