Limitations, in knowing the SPG!

SB 2.6.37 (SA Prji):

* Brahmaji is saying to Narada muni: Since neither Lord Śiva nor you nor I could ascertain the limits of spiritual happiness, how can other demigods know it? And because all of us are bewildered by the illusory external energy of the Supreme Lord, we can see only this manifested cosmos according to our individual ability.
* He is telling about the limitations of anybody except Krishna
* Even the greatest personalities like Brahma himself, Narada or Siva cannot know the SPG in full. Everyone is controlled by the 3 modes of material nature
* Even of the dvadasa mahajanas, Brahma, Narada and Siva, in order of merit, know the maximum about the SPG of all living entities
* We need to go through the authority of vedas and mahajanas to know the SPG. These great mahajanas represent the Vedas
* In this purport, SP also explains about Lord Brahma's bewilderment during Krishna's Dwaraka lila
 - Brahma thinking he is the only greatest Brahma
 - But Krishna called so many other Brahmas much greater than this Brahma, that he got his teaching well
* Srila Rupa Goswami explained the position of Krishna so nicely
 - om namo maha vadanyaya, kkrishna prema pradayathe, krishnaya krishna caitanya namne gauratvishe namaha
 - That Lord Caitanya is Krishna Himself and is distributing Krishna prema so freely
* Today is Lord Caitanya's appearance day too, such an auspicious day for all Gaudiya Vaisnavas
 - Just simply sit down and chant the holy name of Lord Krishna. That's all is needed
 - Just continue the Sankirtana movement of the Lord
* SP's divine words on Lord Sri CM
 - BG 7.13, following the words of Lord Sri CM...
 - SB Introduction, mission of Lord Sri CM
 - Lord Sri CM is Krishna Himself
 - Letter to Gurudas, Dec 14th 1968, This avatar of Lord does not kill the impious person, but removes the impious qualities
 - BG 4.8
* Krishna in BG put a condition that we need to surrender first, then everything will follow
* But later Krishna realized that the conditioned souls will not do that, so He Himself came as Lord Sri CM and made us chant the holy name and is giving the prema unconditionally
