God’s abode is Gunatit, i.e. above all material qualities. And we want to make all jivas gunātit. We have heard this spiritual knowledge, which is not possible to get anywhere else, and we will be unable to stay elsewhere. And he whom we have attained is not likely to let us go elsewhere, since he knows how (to keep us with him). And those who listen to today’s knowledge and go to his abode are not tempted by Shvetdwip and anything below it. This spiritual knowledge is like the Portuguese canons.1 Compared to it other knowledge is just like a firecracker. Footnotes: 1. 1. It destroys many enemies at a time.
