1066 Srimad-Bhagavatam © [Canto 4, Ch. 24

The words santaya kufasthaya sva-rocise are very significant. Although
the Lord is within this material world, He is not disturbed by the waves of
material existence. However, conditioned souls are agitated by six kinds of
transformations; namely, they become agitated when they are hungry,
when they are thirsty, when they are aggrieved, when they are illu-
sioned, when they grow old, and when they are on the deathbed. Although
conditioned souls become very easily illusioned by these conditions in the
material world, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as the Supersoul,
Vasudeva, is never agitated by these transformations. Therefore it is said
here (kutasthaya) that He is always peaceful and devoid of agitation be-
cause of His prowess, which is described herein as sva-rocise, indicating that
He is illuminated by His own transcendental position. In other words, the
individual soul, although within the illumination of the Supreme, some-
times falls down from that illumination because of his tiny position, and
when he falls down he enters into material conditional life. The Lord, how-
ever, is not subject to such conditioning; therefore He is described as self-
illuminated. Consequently any conditioned soul within this material uni-
verse can remain completely perfect when he is under the protection of
Vasudeva or when he is engaged in devotional service.
