Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 22
sva-kāryāt pūrva-pūrvasmāt
kāraṇaṁ cottarottaram
pūjya-pūjaka-bhoga-śrī-
mahattvenādhikādhikam
TRANSLATION
Each covering was the subtle cause of the one before it, and had a greater object of worship, a greater worshiper, and greater sense gratification, opulence, and importance.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 11
pūrvaṁ ye bahu-kālena
samprāptāḥ kramaśo ’dhunā
sarve nimeṣataḥ krāntā
yugapan manaseva te
TRANSLATION
The planets I had earlier attained one by one, over a long period of time, I now crossed in the blink of an eye, as if by the power of my mind alone.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 3 Text 9
pāñca-bhautikatātītaṁ
sva-dehaṁ kalayan raveḥ
nirbhidya maṇḍalaṁ gacchann
ūrdhvaṁ lokān vyalokayam
TRANSLATION
I then saw my body change into a form transcendental to the five material elements. And as I traveled upward, breaking through the sphere of the sun, I saw all the planetary systems.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 234
śrī-bhagavān uvāca
nija-priya-tamāṁ yāhi
māthurīṁ tāṁ vraja-kṣitim
tat-tan-mat-parama-krīḍā-
sthaly-āvali-vibhūṣitām
TRANSLATION
The blessed Lord said: Go to Mathurā, to your dearest pasturing grounds, to the land adorned with many places of My varied supreme pastimes.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 231
śrī-gopa-kumāra uvāca
teṣām etair vacobhir me
bhaktir vṛddhiṁ gatā prabhau
vicāraś caiṣa hṛdaye
’jani māthura-bhūsura
TRANSLATION
Śrī Gopa-kumāra said: O Mathurā brāhmaṇa, these words of the scriptures greatly strengthened my devotion for the Supreme Lord, and this thought was born in my heart:
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Texts 223-224
bhavāṁs tu yadi mokṣasya
tucchatvānubhavena hi
viśuddha-bhagavad-bhakti-
niṣṭhā-sampattim icchati
tadā nijaṁ mahā-mantraṁ
tam eva bhajatāṁ param
atrāpīdaṁ mahā-gūḍhaṁ
śṛṇotu hṛdayaṅ-gamam
TRANSLATION
If you have indeed realized the pettiness of liberation and want to attain the treasure of firm faith in pure devotional service to the Lord, then simply worship your transcendental mantra. And please hear this great secret, which is pleasing to the heart:
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 218
sadaika-rūpo ’pi sa viṣṇur ātmanas
tathā sva-bhakter janayaty anu-kṣaṇam
vicitra-mādhurya-śataṁ navaṁ navaṁ
tayā sva-śaktyetara-durvitarkyayā
TRANSLATION
Although Lord Viṣṇu is always one and unchanging, at every moment He brings forth hundreds of newer and newer varieties of transcendental charm, both in Himself and in His devotional service. He does this by His personal energy, inconceivable to everyone else.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 217
sadaika-rūpaṁ bahu-rūpam adbhutaṁ
vimukti-saukhyāt pratiyogi tat sukham
harer mahā-bhakti-vilāsa-mādhurī-
bharātmakaṁ tarkyam atad-vidāṁ na hi
TRANSLATION
That extraordinary happiness is always one, yet it assumes many features. It stands in contrast to the happiness of impersonal liberation. Devotional happiness is made of the intense sweetness of sporting pastimes in the highest devotional service to the Lord. Persons unfamiliar with this pleasure cannot even imagine what it is like.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 215
paraṁ samādhau sukham ekam asphuṭaṁ
vṛtter abhāvān manaso na cātatam
vṛttau sphurad vastu tad eva bhāsate
’dhikaṁ yathaiva sphaṭikācale mahaḥ
TRANSLATION
The happiness felt in impersonal samādhi is plain, isolated, vague, and limited because in that samādhi the functions of the mind have ceased. But when the object of meditation appears in the active mind, that object is more vividly manifest, like sunlight reflected on a crystal mountain.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 209
avāntara-phalaṁ bhakter
eva mokṣādi yady api
tathāpi nātmārāmatvaṁ
grāhyaṁ prema-virodhi yat
TRANSLATION
Even though liberation and its effects are natural by-products of devotional service, devotees do not regard satisfaction in the self as worth taking, for it obstructs pure love of God.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 207
muktāś cāsya tayā śaktyā
sac-cid-ānanda-dehitām
prāpitās te bhajante taṁ
tādṛśaiḥ karaṇair harim
TRANSLATION
The Lord’s personal energy grants those liberated souls spiritual bodies of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. And with the spiritual senses thus acquired, those souls worship Lord Hari.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 193
tat sukhaṁ vardhate ’bhīkṣṇam
anantaṁ paramaṁ mahat
na tu brahma-sukhaṁ muktau
vardhate sīmavad yataḥ
TRANSLATION
That happiness increases endlessly. It is limitless and supremely great. In contrast, the happiness of Brahman found in liberation never increases, because it is limited.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 169
śrī-bhakti-śāstrāṇy ūcuḥ
labdha-brahmādhikāredaṁ
mahā-gopyaṁ nidher api
bhavat-sad-guṇa-sandohair
ākhyāmo mukharī-kṛtāḥ
TRANSLATION
The devotional scriptures said: O dear one who have achieved the post of Brahmā, this topic is more secret than a rare treasure. But we shall explain it to you because your abundant good qualities inspire us to speak freely.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 166
tato mahā-purāṇānāṁ
mahopaniṣadāṁ tathā
mādhya-sthyād āgamānāṁ tu
jayo jāto mama priyaḥ
TRANSLATION
Then the major Purāṇas and Upaniṣads became arbitrators, and so victory went to the Āgamas. That pleased me very much.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 146
ittham ahnāṁ katipaye
prayāte prātar ekadā
kautukād brahmaṇā spṛṣṭaḥ
pheṇa-puñjo ’suro ’bhavat
TRANSLATION
After I had spent some days in this way, early one morning, out of curiosity, Brahmā touched a mass of foam, and it turned into a demon.
In today’s sanga, Śrīla Dhanurdhara Swami shares his realizations in celebration of Govardhana-pūjā and the disappearance day of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 136
bhagavantaṁ muhuḥ paśyan
praṇamann avadaṁ manaḥ
nijepsitāntam adyāgā
niścalaṁ tvaṁ mudaṁ bhaja
TRANSLATION
Gazing at the Supreme Lord and repeatedly bowing down before Him, I told my mind: “Today you have attained the ultimate fulfillment of all your desires! Be steady and joyful.
Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 2 Text 132
saṁvāhyamāna-caraṇaṁ ramayā suparṇe
baddhāñjalau kṛta-dṛśaṁ vidhinārcyamānam
bhūyo vibhūtibhir amuṁ bahu lālayantaṁ
śrī-nārada-praṇaya-bhaktiṣu datta-cittam
TRANSLATION
As the goddess of fortune, Lakṣmī, massaged His feet, He glanced at Garuḍa, who stood before Him with joined palms. Lord Brahmā worshiped the Lord with opulent offerings, and in turn the Lord amply gratified him. Lord Mahāpuruṣa was also attentive to Śrī Nārada’s displays of loving devotion.
