শান্তের স্বভাব - কৃষ্ণে মমতা-গন্ধহীন ।
'পরংব্রহ্ম'-'পরমাত্মা'-জ্ঞান-প্রবীণ ॥ ২১৮ ॥

santera svabhava-krsne mamata-gandha-hina

'param-brahma'-'paramatma'-jnana pravina

SYNONYMS

santera sva-bhava-the characteristic of santa-rasa; krsne-in Krsna; mamata-gandha-hina-not even the smallest quantity of intimacy; param-brahma-impersonal Brahman; paramatma-the localized situation of the Lord; jnana-knowledge; pravina-prominence.

TRANSLATION

"It is the nature of santa-rasa that not even the smallest intimacy exists. Rather, knowledge of impersonal Brahman and localized Paramatma is prominent.

PURPORT

Because of an impersonal impression of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, a devotee in the santa-rasa relationship worships the impersonal Brahman or localized aspect of the Absolute Truth (Paramatma). He does not develop a personal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krsna.
