Bhagavad-gita As It Is | Part [BG.7.15]

TRANSLATION:

All states of being-be they of goodness, passion or ignorance-are manifested by My energy. I am, in one sense, everything—but I am independant. I am not under the modes of this material nature.

PURPORT:

All material activities in the world are being conducted under the three modes of material nature. Although these material modes of nature are emanations from the Supreme Lord, Krishna, He is not subject to them. For instance, under the state laws one may be punished, but the king, the lawmaker, is not subject to that law. Similarly, all the modes of material nature-goodness, passion and ignorance-are emanations from the Supreme Lord Krishna, but Krishna is not subject to material nature. Therefore He is nirguna, which means that these gunas, or modes, although issuing from Him, do not affect Him. That is one of the special characteristics of Bhagavan, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead

  
Translation and commentary by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

I am, in one sense, everything—but I am independant

Lust is burning in d hearts of conditioned souls like forest
fire.Neither our buckets of water nor fire service can put off this
fire.It's been burning for many lives in our hearts.It has so densely
captured our hearts&can b put-off only by devotional service 2d
SupremeLord which is like torrents of rain!

Calling fire service?

A giant wheel has exit@1point only.Likewise,dis human life is d only
chance2escape d cycle of repeated birth&death.Modern life forbids dis
fact&promotes animal life2make2legged animals.D congregational
chanting of d holy names of d Lord is d only means of deliverance4d
conditioned souls
diseased by lust.

Symptom of love

via Jyoti Pahuja's Facebook Notes by Jyoti Pahuja on 1/29/11

What is the symptom of love? The symptom, the prime symptom, most important symptom of love is that the devotee wants to see that his Lord's name, fame,etc. become widespread. He wants to see that "My Lord's name be known everywhere." This is love. If I love somebody, I want to see that hisglories are spread all over the world. And Krsna also says in the Bhagavad-gita, na ca tasmat manusyesu kascit me priya-krttamah, anyone who preaches His glory, nobody is dearer to Him than that person.
