অগাধ ঈশ্বর-লীলা কিছুই না জানি ।
তুমি যেই কহ, সেই সত্য করি' মানি ॥ ১৫৮ ॥ agadha isvara-lila kichui na jani
tumi yei kaha, sei satya kari' mani
SYNONYMS
agadha-unfathomable; isvara-lila-pastimes of the Lord; kichui-anything; na jani-I do not know; tumi-You; yei-whatever; kaha-say; sei satya-that is right; kari' mani-I accept.
TRANSLATION
"The transcendental pastimes of the Lord are unfathomable, and I do not know anything about them. Whatever You say I accept as the truth.
PURPORT
This is the way to understand the truth about the Supreme Personality of Godhead. After hearing Bhagavad-gita, Arjuna said very much the same thing:
sarvam etad rtam manye
yan mam vadasi kesava na hi te bhagavan vyaktim vidur deva na danavah "O Krsna, I totally accept as truth all that You have told me. Neither the gods nor demons, O Lord, know Thy personality." (Bg. 10.14)
Vyeṅkata Bhatta says very much the same thing to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It is not possible to understand the truth about the pastimes of the Lord simply by using our own logic, argument and academic education. We must receive bona fide information from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, just as Arjuna received information when Krsna spoke Bhagavad-gita. We have to accept Bhagavad-gita or any other Vedic literature in good faith. These Vedic literatures are the only source of knowledge. We must understand that we cannot comprehend the Absolute Truth by the speculative process.
