Greed of the Lord

Greed of the Lord

A lecture given by Śrī Śrīmad Gour Govinda Swami Mahārāja on Gaura-purnima 17 March, 1992, in Bhubaneswar, India.

Using the word greed is wonderful. Has anyone used the word this way before? No one, but Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī did. He said that because of this greed, Nandanandana (Kṛṣṇa) became Śacīnandana (Lord Caitanya). Pūrṇa Brahma, the Complete Whole, who has no deficiency, who wants nothing, still develops greed. Wonderful! He is self-satisfied. He lacks nothing. Then why such greed? You should understand its mystery, the truth behind it. He, who is self-satisfied, who is full of eternity, knowledge and bliss, develops greed. What type of greed and to get what? In the Supreme Lord the seed of desire gradually develops, and it fructifies in Gaurāṅga-svarūpa, the form of Gaurāṅga, Lord Caitanya. Let me explain to you how.
