TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION
 | My dear Aditi, engage in devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the master of everything, who can subdue everyone’s enemies, and who sits within everyone’s heart. Only that Supreme Person — Kṛṣṇa, or Vāsudeva — can bestow all auspicious benedictions upon everyone, for He is the spiritual master of the universe. | | | Mi querida Aditi, ocúpate en el servicio devocional de la Suprema Personalidad de Dios. Él es el amo de todo, puede vencer a los enemigos de todos y está situado en el corazón de todos. Sólo esa Persona Suprema, Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, puede conceder toda clase de bendiciones auspiciosas a todos los seres, pues es el maestro espiritual del universo. | |
PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO
| | With these words, Kaśyapa Muni tried to pacify his wife. Aditi made her appeal to her material husband. Of course, that is nice, but actually a material relative cannot do anything good for anyone. If anything good can be done, it is done by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva. Therefore, Kaśyapa Muni advised his wife, Aditi, to begin worshiping Lord Vāsudeva, who is situated in everyone’s heart. He is the friend of everyone and is known as Janārdana because He can kill all enemies. There are three modes of material nature — goodness, passion and ignorance — and above material nature, transcendental to material nature, is another existence, which is called śuddha-sattva. In the material world, the mode of goodness is considered the best, but because of material contamination, even the mode of goodness is sometimes overpowered by the modes of passion and ignorance. But when one transcends the competition between these modes and engages himself in devotional service, he rises above the three modes of material nature. In that transcendental position, one is situated in pure consciousness. Sattvaṁ viśuddhaṁ vasudeva-śabditam (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.3.23). Above material nature is the position called vasudeva, or freedom from material contamination. Only in that position can one perceive the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva. Thus the vasudeva condition fulfills a spiritual necessity. Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ. When one realizes Vāsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he becomes most exalted. | | | Con estas palabras, Kaśyapa Muni trató de tranquilizar a su esposa. Aditi dirigió su súplica a su esposo, un ser material. Eso, por supuesto, está bien, pero la verdad es que un pariente material no puede hacer nada bueno por nadie. Si algo bueno puede hacerse, es la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, Vāsudeva, quien lo hace. Por lo tanto, Kaśyapa Muni aconsejó a su esposa, Aditi, que adorase al Señor Vāsudeva, que está en el corazón de todos. Él es el amigo de todos, y es conocido con el nombre de Janārdana porque puede matar a todos los enemigos. En la naturaleza material hay tres modalidades —la bondad, la pasión y la ignorancia—, pero por encima de la naturaleza material, y en una posición trascendental a ella, hay otro estado de existencia, que recibe el nombre de śuddha-sattva. En el mundo material se considera que lo más elevado es la modalidad de la bondad; sin embargo, debido a la contaminación material, también la modalidad de la bondad sucumbe a veces ante las modalidades de la pasión y la ignorancia. Pero la persona que trasciende la tensión entre esas modalidades y se ocupa en servicio devocional, se eleva por encima de las tres modalidades de la naturaleza material. En esa posición trascendental, se sitúa en el plano de la conciencia pura. Sattvaṁ viśuddhaṁ vasudeva-śabditam (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.3.23). Vasudeva es la posición que está por encima de la naturaleza material, y que se caracteriza por estar libre de contaminación material. Solo desde esa posición se puede percibir a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, Vāsudeva. Por lo tanto, el estado de vasudeva satisface una necesidad espiritual. Vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ. Aquel que llega a percibir a Vāsudeva, la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, es muy elevado. | | | | | “To those who are constantly devoted and who worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.” (Bhagavad-gītā 10.10) | | | «A aquellos que están constantemente consagrados a servirme con amor, Yo les doy la comprensión con la cual pueden llegar hasta Mí». (Bhagavad-gītā 10.10) | | | | | īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ

(Bhagavad-gītā 5.29) | | | | | Whenever one is perplexed, let him take shelter of the lotus feet of Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, who will give the devotee intelligence to help him surpass all difficulties and return home, back to Godhead. Kaśyapa Muni advised his wife to seek shelter at the lotus feet of Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, so that all her problems would be very easily solved. Thus Kaśyapa Muni was an ideal spiritual master. He was not so foolish that he would present himself as an exalted personality, as good as God. He was actually a bona fide guru because he advised his wife to seek shelter at the lotus feet of Vāsudeva. One who trains his subordinate or disciple to worship Vāsudeva is the truly bona fide spiritual master. The word jagad-gurum is very important in this regard. Kaśyapa Muni did not falsely declare himself to be jagad-guru, although he actually was jagad-guru because he advocated the cause of Vāsudeva. Actually, Vāsudeva is jagad-guru, as clearly stated here (vāsudevaṁ jagad-gurum). One who teaches the instructions of Vāsudeva, Bhagavad-gītā, is as good as vāsudevaṁ jagad-gurum. But when one who does not teach this instruction — as it is — declares himself jagad-guru, he simply cheats the public. Kṛṣṇa is jagad-guru, and one who teaches the instruction of Kṛṣṇa as it is, on behalf of Kṛṣṇa, may be accepted as jagad-guru. One who manufactures his own theories cannot be accepted; he becomes jagad-guru falsely. | | | Whenever one is perplexed, let him take shelter of the lotus feet of Vāsudeva, Kṛṣṇa, who will give the devotee intelligence to help him surpass all difficulties and return home, back to Godhead.
