Chapter 9: Rājavidyā-rājaguhya-yoga – Kingly Knowledge, Kingly Secret: Verse 11
अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् ।
परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥
avajānanti māṃ mūḍhā
mānuṣīṃ tanum-āśritam
paraṃ bhāvam-ajānanto
mama bhūta-maheśvaram – 9.11
Seeing Me, the Supreme, as having taken a human form, fools disregard Me, not knowing My superior state as the Great Lord of the entire Creation.
Chapter 9: Rājavidyā-rājaguhya-yoga – Kingly Knowledge, Kingly Secret - Verse 11
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Krishna, like any other person, had a gross body with senses, mind, intelligence, ego and the Soul – the substratum of all. Body is obviously human, which alone the others can readily see. The body is limited like all others’ bodies. Any greater potential or character can only be in the inner personality, which too is the same for all.
The lordship Krishna speaks about can only be about the all-pervading Soul within, which ordinary people are ignorant about. Knowledge of the Self makes Krishna speak about Its higher spiritual dimensions. As the body bestows human form, the Soul imbues divine dimensions.
In fact, whatever character, quality and magnificence one has can only be due to the external and internal personality he has, a fundamental point the seeker should not miss at any time.
