Bhagavad-gita As It Is Lectures

God is puruṣa. Puruṣa means man, I mean to say, male. Not female. Male. Without becoming male one cannot be enjoyer. In another place it is stated that Kṛṣṇa is the supreme enjoyer. As soon as the word is used "enjoyer," he must be puruṣa, male. So that is described. Arjuna understood it. He is a puruṣa, paraṁ puruṣa, the supreme person. In another place Kṛṣṇa is described as Puruṣottama, the best of the males. So, puruṣaṁ, śāśvataṁ. Śāśvataṁ means eternal. The Māyāvādī philosopher, they think that the Absolute Truth is imperson.

Kṛṣṇa comes to this world, we also come to this world, but we are contaminated. But Kṛṣṇa is not contaminated. The example is, just like in the prison house there are many prisoners, but if the king or some king's representative, minister, goes into the prison to inspect things, how things are going on, it does not mean that the king or his minister is also a prisoner. He is not prisoner.

But we living entities, we have been entangled with these material modes of nature. But Kṛṣṇa never becomes involved in these modes of material nature. Therefore He is called pavitraṁ paramaṁ, absolute pure, bhavān. Bhavān means "You, Your Lordship." And puruṣaṁ. Puruṣaṁ, He is addressed as . . . addressed as a person. God is never imperson. God is person, exactly a person like you and me. And when He appeared on this planet, exactly like a human being: two hands, two legs, walking like human being, talking, behaving like human being, everything.

So God is puruṣa. Puruṣa means man, I mean to say, male. Not female. Male. Without becoming male one cannot be enjoyer. In another place it is stated that Kṛṣṇa is the supreme enjoyer. As soon as the word is used "enjoyer," he must be puruṣa, male. So that is described. Arjuna understood it. He is a puruṣa, paraṁ puruṣa, the supreme person. In another place Kṛṣṇa is described as Puruṣottama, the best of the males. So, puruṣaṁ, śāśvataṁ. Śāśvataṁ means eternal. The Māyāvādī philosopher, they think that the Absolute Truth is imperson.
