Скачать или смотреть Impersonal or Personal? The Truth About God | | Srila Prabhupāda | SB 1.2.11 | EP-39

In this powerful lecture on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.2.11, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains the three realizations of the Absolute Truth — Brahman, Paramātmā, and Bhagavān.

Human life is not meant for sense gratification but for tattva-jijñāsā — inquiry into the Absolute Truth. Through the example of Sanātana Gosvāmī approaching Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Prabhupāda emphasizes that real intelligence begins when we ask:

Who am I? Why am I suffering? What is the purpose of life?

The Absolute Truth is one, but realized in three stages:

Impersonal Brahman (spiritual effulgence)

Paramātmā (Supersoul in the heart)

Bhagavān (Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa)

By understanding Kṛṣṇa fully, one automatically understands Brahman and Paramātmā.

The key process?
Bhaktyā śruta-gṛhītayā — devotional hearing.
