Text 82] Dhruva Maharaja Leaves Home for the Forest 357
their breathing processes choked up. We have never experienced such a
thing. Since You are the ultimate shelter of all surrendered souls, we have
therefore approached You; kindly save us from this danger.
PURPORT
Dhruva Maharaja’s influence, attained by executing devotional service
unto the Lord, was felt even by the demigods, who had never before
experienced such a situation. Because of Dhruva Mah§araja’s controlling
his breathing, the entire universal breathing process was choked. It is by
the will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead that material entities can-
not breathe whereas spiritual entities are able to breathe; material entities
are products of the Lord’s external energy, whereas spiritual entities are
products of the Lord’s internal energy. The demigods approached the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the controller of both kinds of
entities, in order to know why their breathing was choked. The Supreme
Lord is the ultimate goal for the solution to all problems within this
material world. In the spiritual world there are no problems, but the
material world is always problematic. Since the Supreme Personality of
Godhead is the master of both the material and spiritual worlds, it is better
to approach Him in all problematic situations. Those who are devotees,
therefore, have no problems in this material world. Visvarn piirna-
sukhayate: devotees are free from all problems because they are fully
surrendered unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For a devotee,
everything in the world is very pleasing because he knows how to use
everything in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.
