eva vedyah). To advance in human life, human society must follow the
Vedic principles personally demonstrated by Lord Krsna in His house-
holder life. The real purpose of Krsna’s appearance, however, was to
manifest how one can take part in loving affairs with the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead. Reciprocations of loving affairs in ecstasy are possi-
ble only in Vrndavana. Therefore just after His appearance as the son of
Vasudeva, the Lord immediately left for Vrndavana. In Vrndavana, the
Lord not only took part in loving affairs with His father and mother, the
gopis and the cowherd boys, but also gave liberation to many demons by
killing them. As stated in Bhagavad-gitd (4.8), paritrandya sadhinam
vinasdya ca duskrtam: the Lord appears in order to protect the devotees
and kill the demons. This was fully exhibited by His personal behavior.
In Bhagavad-gita the Lord is understood by Arjuna to be purusam
SaSvatam divyam—the eternal, transcendental Supreme Person. Here
also we find the words utpddya tesu purusah. Therefore it is to be con-
cluded that the Absolute Truth is purusa, a person. The impersonal
feature is but one of the features of His personality. Ultimately, He is a
person; He is not impersonal. And not only is He purusa, a person, but
He is the lila-purusottama, the best of all persons.
