FILE INFO | Caption | The queens of King Suyajna, lamenting his death, kept the king's body on their laps. Their loud cries were heard even in the abode of Yamaraja. Yamaraja assumed the body of a boy and approached the queens. Yamaraja said, "Only by the will of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is never diminished, is the entire world created, maintained and again annihilated. This is the verdict of the Vedic knowledge. This material creation, consisting of the moving and nonmoving, is exactly like His plaything. Being the Supreme Lord, He is completely competent to destroy and protect. Sometimes one loses his money on a public street, where everyone can see it, and yet his money is protected by destiny and not seen by others. Thus the man who lost it gets it back. On the other hand, if the Lord does not give protection, even money maintained very securely at home is lost. If the Supreme Lord gives one protection, even though one has no protector and is in the jungle, one remains alive, whereas a person well protected at home by relatives and others sometimes dies, no one being able to protect him. Every conditioned soul receives a different type of body according to his work, and when the engagement is finished the body is finished. Although the spirit soul is situated in subtle and gross material bodies in different forms of life, he is not bound by them, for he is always understood to be completely different from the manifested body." -Srimad Bhagavatam 7.2.39-41 | Headline | Yamaraja Instructs a King's Widows | Copyright Notice | © Copyright The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc.
