23 Krishna's Body is Spiritual

Krishna's Body is Spiritual


Krishna is non-different from His body. His body is eternal, full of
bliss, and knowledge. He never changes His body, but in His selfsame
body appears in different ways, according to His desires, in His
various incarnations .This is the same as a dramatic artist who can
expertly assume different roles according to the scripts which he is
called upon to perform. It is stated in the Vedic literatures, that
when we see God in His original manifestation, He is known as
Krishna--the all attractive Personality of Godhead.


In His various manifestations in this world, Krishna establishes
religious principles; annihilates miscreants, and helps His devotees.
At the same time, He exhibits these activities to attract people who
have no information about God other than their faulty speculation or
the speculations of others such as theologians. When people see or
hear about Krishna's wonderful activities, they become attracted to
Him, and become interested in spiritual life.


Krishna also enjoys acting in many different ways. God is not
impersonal. He has desires like ourselves, but His desires are not
fraught with the impurities that contaminate ours. He enjoys dancing,
playing, singing, fighting, and all the activities that we can
imagine.


In the spiritual world these activities are constantly going on. This
is the destination of the pure devotees of the Lord: to interact with
the Lord in His eternal pastimes.
