SB 2.6.43-45 (Kp Prji):
* Brahmaji is saying here: this verse
* Everyone in this material world, every living entity has a tendency of worshipping something higher. If not God, some other super power
* In this world, we observe extraordinary strength or power or beauty or modesty etc in some one and possibly worship them
* Lord Brahmaji is telling here that what are those personalities that human beings tend to worship
- Brahma, Lord Siva, Lord Visnu, great generators of living beings like Daksa and Prajāpati, yourselves [Nārada and the Kumāras], heavenly demigods like Indra and Candra, the leaders of the Bhūrloka planets, the leaders of the earthly planets, the leaders of the lower planets, the leaders of the Gandharva planets, the leaders of the Vidyādhara planets, the leaders of the Cāranaloka planets, the leaders of the Yaksas, Raksas and Uragas, the great sages, the great demons, the great atheists and the great spacemen, as well as the dead bodies, evil spirits, satans, jinn, kūsmāndas, great aquatics, great beasts and great birds, etc. — in other words, anything and everything which is exceptionally possessed of power, opulence, mental and perceptual dexterity, strength, forgiveness, beauty, modesty, opulence, and breeding, whether in form or formless
— they may appear to be the specific truth and the form of the Lord, but actually they are not so. They are only a fragment of the transcendental potency of the Lord
* Because we are naturally attracted to the power of the Supreme Lord, directly or indirectly
* Actually we see that Naradamuni was also mentioning something like this in one of the previous verses
* But Brahmaji is clearing saying: until one knows of the SPG, one is sure to be illusion-ed
* Eg: Frog living in a well, thinking or informed of an ocean, will not believe the existence of the ocean. Or he
could imagine the ocean wrongly as well
- that is why experience is also required
- same is with understanding the SPG
* SP says here: those who are simply astonished by the powers of anything in the creation of the Lord, without any factual information of the Lord Himself, are known as saktas, or worshipers of the great powers
- Devotees, we were also in that stage sometime back
* All the above list may appear like a form of the Lord, but actually they are not. They are just a simple portion of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna!
* SP mentions, one should know the truth by following the instructions of Lord Brahma
- by surrendering to a Spiritual Master and serving his lotus feet
