TRANSLATION
When it was understood that the King had indifferently left home, all
the citizens, priests, ministers, friends, and people in general were greatly
aggrieved. They began to search for him all over the world, just as a less
experienced mystic searches out the Supersoul within himself.
PURPORT
The example of searching for the Supersoul within the heart by the less
intelligent mystics is very instructive. The Absolute Truth is understood in
three different features, namely impersonal Brahman, localized Paramatma,
and the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such kuyoginah, or less intelli-
gent mystics, can by mental speculation reach the point of the impersonal
Brahman, but they cannot find the Supersoul who is sitting within each
living entity. When the King left, it was certain that he was staying some-
where else, but because they did not know how to find him they were
frustrated like the less intelligent mystics.
