Conclusion 289

This is the system of instruction from the Supersoul. Externally He is not
to be seen. Yet, internally, He speaks to the devotee, and that is confirmed in the
Bhagavad Gita: to anyone who is sincerely engaged in the service of the Lord,
the Lord from within dictates, and He acts in such a nice way that he ultimately
achieves the Supreme goal of life. When Brahma was born there was nobody
else to instruct him. Therefore, in the Vedic literature, we find that the Supreme
Lord Himself instructed Brahma about the Vedic knowledge through his
heart. The same thing is also confirmed in the Srimad Bhagwatam, Second Canto,
4th Chapter, by Sukadeva Goswami: the Gayatri Mantra was first of all in-
structed by the Supreme in the heart of Brahma. Similarly, Sukadeva Goswami
prayed to the Lord to also help him in speaking Srimad Bhagwatam before
Maharaj Parikshit.

The first verse of the First Canto of the Srimad Bhagwatam describes the
Supreme Absolute Truth, Who instructed Brahma through the heart. It is
stated there by Vyasadeva, the author of Srimad Bhagwatam: “Let me offer my
respectful obeisances to Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
Who is the Cause of cosmic manifestation, its maintenance, and its dissolution.”
If we scrutinizingly try to understand the Supreme Truth, we can understand
that He knows everything directly and indirectly. He is the only Supreme
Personality fully independent, and it is He only, alone, Who instructed Brahma
as the Supersoul from within. Even the greatest learned scholar becomes
bewildered about understanding the Supreme Truth, because the whole per-
ceivable cosmic manifestation is situated in Him. Although this material mani-
festation is a byproduct of fire, water, and earth, still it appears just like the
truth. But it is in Him only that the spiritual manifestation, the material mani-
festation, and the manifestation of the living entities—everything—rests.
Therefore He is the Supreme Truth.

Sri Ramananda Roy continued to speak to Lord Chaitanya: “Sir, first
of all Isaw You as a Sannyasi, and again I saw You asa cowherd Boy. Further,
I see before You a golden doll. Due to the presence of that golden doll, Your
complexion has become gold, and yet I see Your complexion to be black,
as a cowherd boy. Will You kindly explain why I am seeing You with such
different complexions? Will You kindly explain to me without any reserva-
tion?”

Lord Chaitanya replied, “It is the nature of highly elevated devotees to
see Krishna in everything. Whenever they see anything, they do not see the
form of that particular thing, but they see Krishna.” This is confirmed in
Srimad Bhagwatam, Eleventh Canto, 2nd Chapter: that a person who is highly
