"The Supreme Personality of Godhead is attained only by one whom He
Himself chooses."*
Although everything in that city is perfectly spiritual, still it appears like a city
made of earth and the other material elements. The word "vat" (like) used in the
sūtra refutes the idea that this city is actually material in nature. The sūtra says
that it is "svātmanaḥ" (manifested from Himself). In the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad
(2.2.11) it is said:
brahmaivedam amṛtaṁ purastāt paścāc ca. brahma dakṣiṇataś cottareṇādhaś
cordhvaṁ prasṛtam. brahmaivedaṁ viśvam idaṁ variṣṭham.
"The Supreme is eternal. He is in the east and the west. He is in the south and
the north. He is below and He is above. He is everywhere in the universe. He is the
greatest."
As the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is full of transcendental
knowledge and bliss, has a wonderful variety of features, such as His hands, feet,
nails, and hair, so the Lord's transcendental abode, which is manifested from His
own personal form, also has a wonderful variety of features, such as the different
forms in its land and water. Even though they are all spirit and nothing else, still
they manifest a great variety, like a peacock feather or other colorful object.
Sūtra 37
anyathā bhedānupapattir iti cen nopadeśāntara-vat
anyathā—otherwise; bheda—difference; anupapattiḥ—non-attainment; iti—
thus; cet—if; na—not; upadeśa—teaching; antara—another; vat—like.
If it is said, "It is otherwise, for there is no difference", then I reply: No. It is not
so. For it is like other teachings.
