Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

It is said, bhārāvatāraṇāyānye bhuvo nāva ivodadhau. Bhuva-bhara, this world becomes overburdened. Overburdened. As soon as it becomes overburdened, there must be a war, pestilence, famine, epidemic and finish. This is natural. Overburdened. Nature's law. This is called . . . in economics there is some law. So why the world becomes overburdened? The earth planet . . . not only earth planet; there are many millions of other planets also. They are bearing big, big mountains, big, big ocean. So why it becomes overburdened? Yes.

So Kuntīdevī is describing different statements of different person why Kṛṣṇa appeared. Somebody says that He appeared on the request of Devakī and Vasudeva. Somebody says He appeared on the request of Brahmā.

So there is bhuva-bhara. Bhuva-bhara. It is said, bhārāvatāraṇāyānye bhuvo nāva ivodadhau. Bhuva-bhara, this world becomes overburdened. Overburdened. As soon as it becomes overburdened, there must be a war, pestilence, famine, epidemic and finish. This is natural. Overburdened. Nature's law. This is called . . . in economics there is some law. So why the world becomes overburdened? The earth planet . . . not only earth planet; there are many millions of other planets also. They are bearing big, big mountains, big, big ocean. So why it becomes overburdened? Yes.

First of all, you have to consider how this planet is floating in the air. It is floating in the air, as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, gām āviśya (BG 15.13). Because Kṛṣṇa enters within this . . . Kṛṣṇa, just like He enters within the atom. So He's the spirit, Supreme Spirit. So because the Supreme Spirit is within, therefore it is floating. Not that weightlessness. Weight is there, very heavy weight. Just like you can test: This body will float in the water so long you are living. And as soon as the spirit soul goes, then immediately the body goes down. The law of gravity acts, the so-called law of gravity. This is an example. A child, so long it is living you can take in one hand. But as soon as the child is dead, it becomes heavier. That is natural.

So everything is lighter as soon as it is spiritually advanced or there is spirit. Similarly, when we'll be spiritually advanced, then there will be no impediment. Now we cannot fly in the air, but when you are free from this body, your spirit soul, within a second you can go to the Vaikuṇṭhaloka. It is so light. Within a second. Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti (BG 4.9).

So the conclusion is, when the world becomes overloaded with the demons, nondevotees, it becomes disturbed; it becomes . . . the mother earth feels load, very much load. So at that time, Kṛṣṇa comes. Therefore it is said, bhāra-avatāraṇāya: just to unload. And bhārāvatāraṇāyānye. Somebody says, bhuvo nāva ivodadhau. Just like if a ship or boat is overloaded, it is very dangerous. It can be drowned at any moment. So sīdantyā bhūri-bhāreṇa.
