SB 2.9.6 (Kp Prji):
* "While thus engaged in thinking, in the water, Brahmājī heard twice from nearby two syllables joined together. One of the syllables was taken from the sixteenth and the other from the twenty-first of the sparśa alphabets, and both joined to become the wealth of the renounced order of life."
* Here, Srila SG is answering MP's question
* The Lord, out of His own will, when He desires to create this whole world
- Lord Brahma manifests from the right side of MahaVishnu
- From MahaVishnu's navel, comes a lotus flower and in its flower, Lord Brahma is born
* When born, Brhma is perplexed as to how to construct the world, as he is the guna avatar
* Being inquisitive, he tries to find out what is the source of his creation
- When Lord Brahma was perplexed about how to construct the material manifestations in the universe and went down within the water to find out the means and the source of his lotus seat, he heard the word tapa vibrated twice.
* Thus, he accepted that the goal of his life is tapa
- and it is the beauty or power of the renounced order of life
* SP says: The animal does not know anything except sense gratification in the jurisdiction of eat, drink, be merry and enjoy. But the human being is made to undergo tapasya for going back to Godhead, back home.
* This tapasya we can learn from the top most being of this material creation, Lord Brahma
* "In the Brahma-saḿhitā Lord Brahmā has sung in every verse govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajmi". Thus Brahmā was initiated by the Krsna mantra, by Lord Krsna Himself, and thus he became a Vaisnava, or a devotee of the Lord, before he was able to construct the huge universe. It is stated in the Brahma-samhita that Lord Brahmā was initiated into the eighteen-letter Kṛṣṇa mantra, which is generally accepted by all the devotees of Lord Krsna."
* We follow the same principle because we belong to the Brahma sampradaya.
* One who is thus initiated in the disciplic succession is able to achieve the same result or power of creation. Chanting of this holy mantra is the only shelter of the desireless pure devotee of the Lord. Simply by such tapasya, or penance, the devotee of the Lord achieves all perfections like Lord Brahma.
* To perfect our life, we must also follow this path set by our acharya's
