Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.9.15
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
When we speak of a king it is naturally understood that the king is accompanied by his confidential associates, like his secretary, private secretary, aide-de-camp, ministers and advisers. So also when we see the Lord we see Him with His different energies, associates, confidential servitors, etc. So the Supreme Lord, who is the leader of all living entities, the Lord of all devotee sects, the Lord of all opulences, the Lord of sacrifices and the enjoyer of everything in His entire creation, is not only the Supreme Person, but also is always surrounded by His immediate associates, all engaged in their loving transcendental service to Him.
Having described Lakṣmī, Śukadeva now describes the Lord.
- Do I picture meeting God as solitary, or as joining a living community of associates?
- Whom would I want as my companions in the Lord's audience hall?
