Ultimate Knowledge

S.B.2.10.1, S.B.2.10.2 (Krishna Kirtan Prabhu)

Bhagavatam is answer to all questions, In the chapter 8 MP puts several questions in front of SG. Beginning from the universal creation. In summary the questions are, how the spirit soul acquires different bodies? And what is the difference between the Lords Spiritual body and the body of common living entity. How the Lord transcendental to creation. How he is living in every living entity. How He is lord of all energies still untouched by his external energies. What is the actually positions of different planetary system in the virat purasa. What is time difference between creation, annihilation. How Narada presented this literature to his disciples and several other questions about universal creation.

All these questions are humanly impossible to answer. The answers depend on the qualification of the person who is going to explain. SG is highly qualified and most suitable person to answer these questions. By hearing MP questions, SG is very pleased because all these questions pertain to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna. To answer his questions SG replied, first this knowledge was spoke by Lord himself to Brahmaji. The Supreme Lord is very much pleased by lord Brahma’s austerities and devotional service and presented this eternal and transcendental form to lord Brahma. Lord Brahma is in ecstasy after seeing the Supreme Lords transcendental form. After that Krishna impregnated lord Brahma with the vedas and saying that the Ultimate benediction as the result of all penance is to see me by realization.

Brahama put forward several questions to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the first question was how in spite of your transcendental form you assumed this mundane form. Lord replied, I who existed before this is ultimate knowledge. Any knowledge that is not related to me is my material energy. I myself exist in the creation and at the same time I am outside of the creation.

Narda received this knowledge from Brahma, after receiving this Sri Narada enquired in detail. From where this supplementary knowledge S.B came into existence where in the 10 characters of the Supreme Lord are explained by lord Brahma. Then Sri Narada passed this knowledge to his disciples.
