Thank you Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is speaking and he says Bhagwan the Supreme Lord His energy is and His many qualities they all have inconceivable powers one cannot actually describe them especially in exhaustive way so Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is here elaborating on the various possible purports and that connection that is the last line that such are the qualities of Lord Hari that they attract even the liberated souls who are not attracted to anything else so in that connection Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is stating that that the Lord’s qualities the gunagana is listed as one among His form is He Himself His energies shakti and gunagana they all be there they all have inconceivable influence inconceivable power and it’s inconceivable and it’s indescribable it can’t be put into words also so this is how by connecting the itthambhuta gunohari with gunagana over here saying that the qualities are inconceivable Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is continuing His analysis of the purport of the Atmarambhuras so anyayata and whatever else might be there sadhya sadhana refers to the main sentence they are covered over they are subordinated they are relegated to the background and these three take away others and then siddha sadhake rama just by these three because they attract the mind of the sadhaka and thus does catapult the sadhaka to spiritual success all the other processes whatever they may be in the spiritual path they are ultimately meant to help us fix our mind on Krishna but whereas other paths require us to push our mind towards Krishna or towards transcendence away from matter and the material attachments that we form in this world the path of bhakti gives us an all attractive sense object in the form of Krishna who pulls our mind towards Him and because of that pull once we develop a higher taste then fixing the mind on Krishna although it is a challenge it is relatively much easier than fixing the mind on some some abstract conception of the absolute truth that has or some conception of a generic spiritual reality whose qualities which neither does not have any qualities or those qualities we don’t know about but when it is Krishna his pastimes his his qualities his relationships they are all absorbing even his message is absorbing and as we ponder deeper and deeper into the imports of his message and his glories and his actions of love then our heart becomes more and more attracted to him and our mind becomes more and more easily fixed on him this is a big advantage as compared to the other paths in Karma Yoga the focus is on primarily detaching oneself from matter and material things in Gyan Yoga so in Karma Yoga the focus is on doing things while meditating that I am not the doer in Gyan Yoga the focus is there is a lot of intellectual analysis but that intellectual analysis may be gratifying to some extent but that gratification is not spiritual it is intellectual because the focus is not on Krishna is not on the absolute truth in a in an attractive personal manifestation but it is on a on a conception that is primarily a negation of everything material and such a conception is not very attractive is not very attracting and that’s why in Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita states in 12.5 klesho dhiktaras tesham avyaktasat chetasam avyaktahikatir dukham dehavad biravapyate krishna says klesho dhiktaras tesham that is klesho and adhiktara lot of klesho avyaktasat chetasam avyaktasat that there is klesho that is based on attachment to the impersonal avyaktasat chetasam and now it is not that the brahman is anyway source of misery the brahman is also a manifestation of Krishna and brahman is also jitananda but for us to fix the mind on brahman in its conception as as a formless attributeless, qualityless transcendental substance it is very difficult and that’s why the klesho is there so this klesho makes progress on the spiritual path troublesome slow and troublesome avyaktahikatir dukham dehavad biravapyate that for those who are embodied it is very difficult to do the point of embodied is not that the embodiment is a temporary transition condition material embodiment is a temporary transition condition but the point is that we have experience of reality in embodied terms we are attracted to things which have some sort of perceptibility with our senses form, taste, fragrance, color sound like that when something has no perceptibility at all and yes because the impersonalists do not accept the conception of the spiritual sense object so they can’t accept the conception of spiritual perceptibility of all attractive form of Krishna so they are caught in conceiving and contemplating something that is not very easy to visualize to speak of fix the mind on steadily and thus they stay they make their own spiritual progress substantially difficult and here Chaitanya Mahaprabhu states that as far as the the attributes of supreme lord is concerned they are these three they captivate the takeaways and therefore enable the sadhaka to move towards ultimate success with far greater felicity with far greater ease than what is possible in other parts
