Prabhupada: Just like Krsna... Krsna is expanding Himself in so many ways. Still, He's Krsna. He's not impersonal. The Mayavadi says, "Because Krsna has expanded in so many ways, therefore no more Krsna. Krsna is finished." Because this is Mayavada. "Because Krsna has expanded in so many ways, therefore there is no personal Krsna." This is Mayavada philosophy. But the Upanisads say, "No, even though He has expanded in so many thousands ways, still He's Krsna."

There is a beautiful verse written in the avadhi language which reveals the greatness of unalloyed love to the Supreme Lord over years and years of attempt to understand Him through jnana marga.

H H Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj liked this verse very much because it gives the complete essence of pure bhakti as revealed in Srimad Bhagavatam and has written it in his notes.
