spiritual bliss, eternity and living force. By the inconceivable energy of
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Lord can appear before us in
His original spiritual body, but because we have no experience of the
spiritual body, we are sometimes bewildered and see the form of the
Lord as material. The Mayavadi philosophers are completely unable to
conceive of a spiritual body. They say that the spirit is always imper-
sonal, and whenever they see something personal, they take it for
granted that it is material. In Bhagavad-gita (9.11) it is said:

spiritual world, every living entity is surrendered to the Supreme Lord
and is completely on the spiritual platform. Although there are servitors,
the served and service, all are spiritual and variegated. At the present
moment, due to our material conception. everything is durvibhdvya, in-
conceivable. Being the Supreme, the Lord is called Rsabha, the best. In
terms of the Vedic language, nityo nityanam. We are also spiritual, but
we are subordinate. Krsna, the Supreme Lord, is the foremost living en-
