Budhā, those who are intelligent, budhā . . . Bodha. Bodha means intelligence, knowledge, and budhā, those who have got knowledge. So this is knowledge.
So Brahmā, Lord Brahmā, began austerity to change the bhāva. He is the first created living being. How much great he is. But because he came into this material world . . . He is coming from Viṣṇu, ātmā-yoni. Not only Brahmā; every one of us, we are coming from Viṣṇu. Every one of us, like the small sparks of fire, we are coming from the big fire. That's a fact. But as soon as we come to this material world, our that quality, fiery quality, extinguished. Therefore we have to revive the fiery quality, change of bhāva. Pariśuddha-bhāva.
As soon as I come . . . The same example: the big fire and there are sparks, small fire. We are not big fire; we are small, spark-like. The spark, so long it is with the fire, it is very beautiful. The fire is also beautiful, and the spark is also beautiful. And if by chance the fire falls down, the small . . . The big fire never falls down. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is acyuta. He never falls down. If He comes in this material world, He does not fall down. Etad īśanam īśasya (SB 1.11.38). This is His all-powerful. He comes also in this material world. He says, tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham. Paritrāṇāya. Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata, tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmi (BG 4.7). He also comes, but He does not fall down. We fall down.
The Māyāvādī philosopher cannot understand this. They think that anyone who comes in this material world, he under the influence of māyā. That is right for the small living entities, as we are. That is not correct for the Supreme. Therefore they misunderstand Kṛṣṇa in His activities, especially when He dances with the gopīs. Therefore a neophyte person should not try to understand Kṛṣṇa's dancing with the gopīs immediately, because they do not know Kṛṣṇa.
Here, if we do something against the moral principles, we are liable to be punished. But Kṛṣṇa . . . about Kṛṣṇa it is stated in the Īśopaniṣad, apāpa-viddham (ISO 8). You know this. Apāpa-viddham. (people talking in background) (aside:) Who is that? He does not become affected by any pāpa. Apāpa-viddham. That is His nature. Etad īśanam īśasya. Just like we go into the fire—we become burnt into ashes. But there are some others, not . . . We cannot see, but if Kṛṣṇa enters . . . Yes, there are many. Just like in the forest fire, all the Vṛndāvana inhabitants they became very much afraid of the forest fire, Vṛndāvana, the cows and the cowherd boys and inhabitants. But they had no other means how to stop. They began to pray to Kṛṣṇa, "Kṛṣṇa, save us." So Kṛṣṇa swallowed up the fire. That is Kṛṣṇa. That is the difference between Kṛṣṇa and ourself. So this difference of Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's greatness we can see when we have purified ourself, tīvra-tapasā pariśuddha-bhāvaḥ. Then it is possible.
