Traducción

Translation

El rey Parīkṣit preguntó a Śukadeva Gosvāmī: Mi querido señor, aquellos que son completamente puros de corazón alcanzan el conocimiento por medio de la práctica del bhakti-yoga, y su apego a las actividades fruitivas queda reducido a cenizas. En esas personas, los poderes del yoga místico surgen de un modo natural, y no son causa de aflicción. ¿Por qué, entonces, dejó Ṛṣabhadeva a un lado esos poderes?

King Parīkṣit asked Śukadeva Gosvāmī: My dear Lord, for those who are completely pure in heart, knowledge is attained by the practice of bhakti-yoga, and attachment for fruitive activity is completely burned to ashes. For such people, the powers of mystic yoga automatically arise. They do not cause distress. Why, then, did Ṛṣabhadeva neglect them?

Significado

Purport

El devoto puro está constantemente ocupado en el servicio a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios, y de modo natural obtiene todo lo que se necesita para la práctica del servicio devocional, aunque ello pueda parecer resultado del poder místico del yoga. A veces un yogī manifiesta un pequeño poder yóguico, y produce oro. Con un poquito de oro cautiva a los necios, y de ese modo, obtiene muchos seguidores, deseosos de aceptar a esa insignificante persona como si fuese la Suprema Personalidad de Dios. También puede ocurrir que ese yogī se proclame Bhagavān. El devoto, sin embargo, no tiene que exhibir esas proezas mágicas, y, sin necesidad del proceso de yoga místico, obtiene una opulencia aún mayor por todo el mundo. En vista de las circunstancias, el Señor Ṛṣabhadeva Se negó a manifestar las perfecciones místicas del yoga, y Mahārāja Parīkṣit pregunta la razón de que no las aceptase, ya que para el devoto no suponen ninguna perturbación. El devoto nunca está ni afligido ni satisfecho con la opulencia material. Lo que le preocupa es complacer a la Suprema Personalidad de Dios. Cuando, por la gracia del Señor, obtiene una opulencia extraordinaria, el devoto aprovecha la oportunidad para servir al Señor. La opulencia no le perturba.

A pure devotee is constantly engaged in the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whatever is necessary for the discharge of devotional service is automatically attained, though it may appear to be the result of mystic yoga power. Sometimes a yogī displays a little yogic power by manufacturing gold. A little quantity of gold captivates foolish people, and thus the yogī gets many followers, who are willing to accept such a tiny person as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such a yogī may also advertise himself as Bhagavān. However, a devotee does not have to exhibit such magical wonders. Without practicing the mystic yogic process, he achieves even greater opulence all over the world. Under the circumstances, Lord Ṛṣabhadeva refused to manifest mystic yogic perfections, and Mahārāja Parīkṣit asked why He did not accept them, since, for a devotee, they are not at all disturbing. A devotee is never distressed or satisfied by material opulence. His concern is how to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If, by the grace of the Supreme Lord, a devotee achieves extraordinary opulence, he utilizes the opportunity for the Lord’s service. He is not disturbed by the opulence.
