SECTION FIFTY-NINE

The Lord's Body is the Lord.

In this way first it has been proven that the Lord's opulence and so on are part of His essential nature. And this is appropriate because these are the internal qualification of His svarupa.

" If we take it, accept it as it is, as Krsna says, then actually, we shall be benefited. And great stalwart scholars just like Ramanujacarya, Sankaracarya, Madhvacarya, in India, they have accepted Krsna as the supreme authority."

(Fourteenth Cluster of Flowers)

Text 1

Praying to be excused for his offenses, the author concludes his book—- O Lord, although I am an unqualified fool, sullied with the mud of false-ego and false-possessiveness, I have tried to describe Your pure devotional service, which is confidential even for the Vedas.

Please forgive me.
