Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 14


Sanskrit:

इति सञ्चिन्त्य भगवान् महाकारुणिको हरि: । दर्शयामास लोकं स्वं गोपानां तमस: परम् ॥ १४ ॥

ITRANS:

iti sañcintya bhagavānmahā-kāruṇiko hariḥdarśayām āsa lokaṁ svaṁgopānāṁ tamasaḥ param

Translation:

Thus deeply considering the situation, the all-merciful Supreme Personality of Godhead Hari revealed to the cowherd men His abode, which is beyond material darkness.

Purport:

It is clear from this verse that the Absolute Truth dwells in His own eternal abode. Everyone of us tries to live as comfortably as possible, surrounding ourselves with peace and beauty. How can we, in the name of “logic,” begrudge the Supreme Lord, our creator, the supremely beautiful and comfortable abode known by people in general as the kingdom of God?
