Multi-farious activities of the Lord

Verse 1.1.17: Here Srila Prabhupada is writing that the Sages headed by Shaunaka Rishi, that they are very very eager to know about the incarnations of the Supreme Lord. So Krishna is the master of the devotees, the pure liberated devotees are always eager to know what Krishna is doing in other planetary systems.

Some less-intelligent people think that God is non-moving or inactive. But such people will come down to the material platform, just doing some philanthropy. But Krishna in the spiritual world is very busy immersed in the transcendental affairs of his pure devotees. There are unlimited devotees in the spiritual world. There is unlimited variegatedness too, so Krishna is busy caring for these devotees.

To keep the same enthusiasm, we have to chant very nicely. Especially in our initial days, we need to be very very enthusiastic. The body that we have is slowly aging out and we will need to give it up sometime soon. So when it is good, we need to strengthen our sadhana very very nicely. That's why we see the appearance days of previous acharya's, they have strengthened themselves and are presenting us with the methods to do so too.

Eg: Srila Prabhupada, we cannot achieve his level of consciousness, but we should work in the same direction.
