The Lord says, what these ordinary living entities with teeny brain, they can calculate about Lord's opulence?" These are opulences of the Supreme Lord. He says, brahmā śiva. Brahmā. Brahmā is considered to be the highest of the living entities, and Śiva, Lord Śiva, he is also considered very high-grade demigod.
So Lord Caitanya says that even Brahmā and Śiva cannot calculate, and what to speak of this ordinary human beings. They cannot understand, it is not possible. Ei-mata ṣaḍ-aiśvarya: nobody can calculate the six opulences of Kṛṣṇa. We have discussed the six opulences, I mean to say: wealth, riches and strength and fame and knowledge and beauty and renunciation. Nobody can calculate. So he's giving a quotation from Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam:
- ko vetti bhūman bhagavan parātman
- yogeśvarotīr bhavatas trilokyām
- kva vā kathaṁ vā kati vā kadeti
- vistārayan krīḍasi yoga-māyām
- (CC Madhya 21.9)
He bhūman: "O the great, O the Supreme Personality of Godhead, O the Supersoul, O the master of the mystic . . . mysticism, how You are acting, tri-bhuvane, tri-bhuvane, within this three worlds?" Three world means that in the materially there is lower planet and middle planets and upper planets, this three worlds. So "How You are acting within this three worlds, and how You are utilizing Your internal potency, yogamāyā, extending Yourself in so many expansions, plenary expansions? Who can understand You? Nobody can understand You."
You may say if nobody can understand, what is the use of discussing such things? That is the qualification of the devotee. In spite of their inability to understand His supremacy, the expansion, the extension of the Supreme Lord, still, by discussing about the Supreme Lord, hearing and chanting, they take transcendental pleasure. It is not that anybody can understand Kṛṣṇa, but still, it is a transcendental pleasure to try to understand. Not that we shall be able to understand Kṛṣṇa fully; it is not in our power. But still, bodhayantaḥ parasparam, tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca (BG 10.9).
Mahātmā, those who are great souls, in their society, in their spiritual society of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, by discussing about Kṛṣṇa as in terms of the Vedic literature and authoritative literature, they enjoy transcendentally. This is transcendental pleasure.
Not that for understanding Kṛṣṇa we are discussing all these scriptures. It is not possible. It is not possible. Nobody can understand. But as far as possible, whatever we can understand or imagine, that is transcendental pleasure. This is the process of devotional service. And by such discussion, one becomes pure. Yesterday we were discussing that Bhagavad sloka . . . yo mām vetti anadiṁ. Eh? sarva-pāpaiḥ vimuktase (BG 10.3): he becomes freed from all reactions of sinful acts. So not that we are going to understand Kṛṣṇa. It is not poss . . . not possible for our teeny brain. But by discussing about Him we become purified of all sinful reactions, and we enjoy transcendental pleasure.
