More on Incarnations of the Lord!

Verse 1.3.27: Here Vyasadev is going little technical. Like in any administration, the Prime Minister has Cabinet level ministers, bureaucrats etc, also at the state level. Similarly, Lord Krishna also has His energies manifested through various expansions, expansions of expansions, plenary expansions and so on.

Jivas are also sometimes empowered for special reasons. Srila Prabhupada is also a shaktyavesh avatar, an empowered personality, who was given this special role of introducing the movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to the entire world. He traveled around the 14 times in 12 years and established more than 108 temples. It is definitely not possible by an ordinary person.

But what we must understand is that Lord Krishna is a person. His pastimes, activities are all real and it is not just some impersonal void. We should understand that God is a person and He is watching over us at every moment.

He is explaining that this world is a place of suffering, but as a Father He is actually waiting for us. Thats why He again and again comes just take us back to His eternal home.
