strength, physical, Balarama is not

So this is the description of quadruple expansion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The advaitam acyutam anadir ananta-rūpam [Bs 5.33], how ananta-rūpam of Krsna is expanded, now this is the beginning of such description. The first expansion is Balarama, Baladeva. Nayam atma bala-hinena labhyaḥ. It is... In the Upanisad it is said, "Atma, the Supreme Soul, cannot be understood without being favored by Balarama." This balarama sometimes misunderstood as the bodily strength, that "Without physical strength, nobody can attain the Supreme Personality of Godhead." But that is not the fact. Bala-hinena means one who is not favored by Balarama or Nityananda, he cannot make any progress to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the real meaning, bala-hinena: "without the favor of Balarama." Balarama is guru-tattva, and Balarama is present in this age as Nityananda. So bala-hinena labhyaḥ does not mean "without any physical strength." One has to get favor of Nityananda Prabhu. Nityananda Prabhu, katiya mohan, avadhya karuna sindhu katiya mohan, durlabha krsna-prema kare jare tare jana.[?] There is a song like that.    (More...)
