The Internal Realization of the Supreme: SB 3.15.47 RGM 10/13/2022

The 4 Kumaras had cursed the gatekeepers, Jaya and Vijaya which caused the Supreme Lord to appear before them. Having seen the Supreme, they now had actual sight of the Supreme in His Personal Form. Previously they only knew of the Supreme as Brahman, or the impersonal, undifferentiated white light. This white light is the target of many who are on the transcendental path to self-realization, but in this part of Srimad Bhagavatam, this white light is made unimportant by the Personal Form of the Supreme. This the Kumaras saw directly, and simultaneously they had the experience of seeing the Supreme Lord, face-to-face and knowing that Who they were seeing was, in fact the Supreme. Some think of the Supreme's highest manifestation as that white light, but the 4 Kumaras transitioned away from placing importance on that white light and became devoted to His Personal Form. And they never looked back. If the Brahman, or white light, is NOT the ultimate goal of all Spiritual Quests, why are we trying desperately to merge with it. If is IS the goal of all Spiritual Quests, (in other words, the highest attainment) then why did we ever depart from it (obviously, some of us are not merged with it at present, but rather experience a world of staggering variety); what could have been the reason? I have heard people give such answers as, "To learn." This answer make no sense, because the white light is eternal, undifferentiated, non-changing, full and therefore has no need of learning anything. At least this is the way those attracted to the white light speak about it. If it is the ultimate, it has no need of change; if it is not ultimate, why bother with it? The Vedic Literatures do not reject the existence of the white light, but place the real emphasis on developing a service attitude to the Supreme, in His Personal Form. The Bhagavad Gita states the we all persons in the past (eternally) and we will be persons in the future (eternally), just as the Supreme Lord is eternal both in the past and future. Persons thrive on action, relationship and pastimes. In the impersonal Brahman there are no action, relationship or pastimes.
