40 Transcendental Qualities of the Lord!

Verse 1.16.26-30 (Srinivas Acharya Prji):

* So many wonderful (around 40) qualities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead (SPG) are mentioned herein.
* For the rebellious souls, Lord Krishna creates the material world where these transcendental qaulities are presented in the perverse way, upside down.
* But through scriptures and his devotees, He tells that there is the other, the spiritual world, where all these qualities are present as they are and therefore is requesting everyone to come back.
* Out of His causeless mercy for the living entities suffering in this world, He Himself comes personally taking avatars.
* But in the spiritual world, there are no avatars, Krishna Himself expands Himself and is present there in all the spiritual planets.
* Even when Krishna comes with all his opulence and His associates, He faces maximum enemies than friends. This shows that this material world is completely opposite to the spiritual world, where the Lord has only friends.
* Krishna uses 3 modes of material nature to make the conditioned souls to understand the troublesome nature of this world.
- In Ramayana, Ravana against principles of dharma kidnapped Mother Sita, then Lord Rama had to kill Ravana to establish dharma again. Even Lavanasura pastime. So we can see that the SPG Himself has to face so many problems in this material world.
- Even in Mahabharata, Krishna tried to establish peace between Pandavas and Kauravas, but still the battle happened. Even Gandhari curses Krishna
- This explains how powerful the 3 modes of material nature, where, Gandhari, a chaste and devote lady, could not control herself and she curses the SPG.
* In order to solve all problems of material world, Krishna explains in the BG that they have to shift focus, so that they can establish their relationship with Him. And this will purify all other relationships too.
* The highest dharma of any living entity is to surrender to Him and chanting His glories. Lord Caitanya also says that the highest perfection of human life is chant the Hare Krishna Mahamantra:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare!
