TRANSLATION
The brahmana inquired as follows: Who are you? Whose wife or daughter
are you? Who is the man lying here? It appears you are lamenting for this
dead body. Don’t you recognize Me? I am your eternal friend. You may
remember that many times in the past you have consulted Me.
PURPORT
When a person’s relative dies, renunciation is automatically visible.
Consultation with the Supersoul seated within everyone’s heart is possible
only when one is completely free from the contamination of material attach-
ment. One who is sincere and pure gets an opportunity to consult with the
Supreme Personality of Godhead in His Paramatma feature sitting within
everyone’s heart. The Paramatma is always the caitya-guru, the spiritual
master within, and He comes before one externally as the instructor and
initiator spiritual master. The Lord can reside within the heart, and He can
also come out before a person and give him instructions. Thus the spiritual
master is not different from the Supersoul sitting within the heart. An un-
contaminated soul or living entity can get a chance to meet the Paramatma
face to face. Just as one gets achance to consult with the Paramatma within
his heart, he also gets a chance to see Him actually situated before him.
