Divine Words of His Divine Grace Srila B.R. Sridhara Deva Goswami

Sri Sukadeva Goswami explained to Maharaj Prikshit and all the top most assembled sages, ‘This illusory world is full of variety and movement, and above it is the Brahman, the non differentianed plane of the absolute. But on the other side, there is again a differentiated and specified world, the Adhoksaja world (beyond sense perception). This Brahman is not the ultimate existance, but crossing Brahman, on the other side , there is an Adhoksaja world. There we find Krishna lila, which is not a thing of this mundane world. You all know I have no charm of this world whatsoever. And my mind was attracted by the charm of that higher Lila.

Today I shall speak to you all about Lila (divine pastimes).’
