KNOWLEDGE OF BOTH WORLDS

Many misconceptions I had about the Universal Form of the Lord are being cleared up in this section of Bhagavatam (SB 2.6). I sincerely hope I have not mislead anyone who may have read some of my previous posts. I try to post according to my realizations and not just dogmatically present something. So I am learning as I go. My experience is that if I make some effort even if I am not quite right about something Krishna will correct me.

The Universal Form section of Bhagavatam is so fascinating. We really do need to have knowledge of both worlds... the spiritual world made of the internal energy of the Lord as well as the material word made of His external energy.

If the residents of the spiritual world are in full knowledge they must certainly have knowledge of the external energy as well. However they have no attraction for going there unless Krishna requests them to on His behalf.
