184 TEACHINGS OF QUEEN KUNTI

going on so nicely if there is no controller? If we see any establishment
going on very well, we immediately understand that the manager, direc-
tor, or controller of the institution is expert. Similarly, if we see the uni-
versal affairs going on nicely, we must know that behind them is a good
controller. And who is that controller? That controller is Krsna, as stated
in Bhagavad-gita (mayadhyaksena prakrtih stiyate sa-caracaram). There-
fore Kunti addresses Him as viSvesa, the controller of the universe.
People are interested only in pictures of Krsna embracing Radharani that
depict the dealings of Radha and Krsna to be like those of ordinary boys
and girls. They don’t understand Krsna. Such obnoxious pictures should
be avoided. Krsna is the supreme controller. Let there be a picture show-
ing how Krsna is controlling the whole universe. That kind of picture is
wanted, not these cheap pictures.

Unless the living force is present within the body, the body cannot
move or work nicely, and similarly within the universe, the cosmic
manifestation, Krsna is present as the living force—Ksirodakasayi Visnu,
or Paramatma. Therefore Kunti addresses Krsna as visvatma, the soul of
the universe. Rascals do not know how this world is moving and how
this universe is acting, and therefore they should learn from Srimad-
Bhagavatam.

Kuntidevi also addresses Krsna as visva-murti, the personality of the
form of the universe. When Arjuna wanted to see Krsna’s universal
form, Krsna immediately manifested it. This is another of Krsna’s opu-
lences (vibhiuti). The original form of the Lord, however, is Krsna with
two hands, playing on the flute. Because Arjuna was a devotee and
wanted to see the universal form, Krsna showed it to him, but that was
not His actual form. A person may dress himself as a king, but his real,
natural appearance is shown at home. Similarly, Krsna’s real form is seen
at home in Vrndavana, and all other forms are expansions of His plenary
portions. As stated in the Brahma-samhitad, advaitam acyutam anadim
ananta-rupam: He can expand Himself in millions and millions of forms
(ananta-rtipam) , but He is one (advaita), and He is infallible (acyuta).
His real form, however, is the dvi-bhuja murali-dhara—the form with two
hands holding a flute. Therefore Kuntidevi says, ‘‘You have Your univer-
sal form, but the form in which You are standing before me is Your real
form.”

Kuntidevi prays, ‘‘Please sever my tie of affection for my kinsmen.”’
Weare thinking, ‘‘This is my own, that is my own,”’ but this is moha, il-
lusion (janasya moho ‘yam aham mameti). How does this illusion come
into existence? It begins with the natural attraction between man and
