Suppose you are very great in this city, just like you are Mr. Kennedy or you are Mr. Rockefeller or Mr. Ford. Just like in your country there are so many big men, by their richness—because they are very rich; they have got money—so they are attractive. So money is one of the feature of attraction.
Therefore God must be the supreme wealthy person. Otherwise He is not God. Another attraction is beauty. So God must be the most beautiful. You have seen the picture of Kṛṣṇa so many times. Perhaps you are convinced that you have never seen such a beautiful picture, although He's little blackish.
So in this way, "God," "Kṛṣṇa" means all-attractive. He's attractive by His opulences, six kinds opulences, which I have described many times in this class. Another name is Adhokṣaja, this name here. He has got many millions and trillions of names, according to perception of the devotee or the knower.
He is also known as Brahma, Paraṁ Brahma, Paramātmā and Kṛṣṇa, Madhusūdana, Govinda. There are many millions and trillions of names of God, but in the Vedic literature it is said that out of all kinds of names designated . . . not designated, designated will be wrong word. Actually. Because God name . . . God's name is given according to His transcendental quality.
Just like this word "Kṛṣṇa." "Kṛṣṇa" means, real means the all-attractive. So because He has got transcendental qualities to attract everyone, He can attract the richest man, He can attract the most beautiful man or woman, He can attract the most strong man, He can attract the most wise man—therefore He's all-attractive. So adhokṣaja means you cannot perceive. You cannot have any actual idea of God by your mental speculation. He is called adhokṣaja.
So here the definition is adhokṣaja means God, the Supreme Lord. The definition is: that principle of religion is the best by which you can develop your devotion or love for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. How nice this definition is, just try to understand. You may follow Christianism or Hinduism or Buddhism or Muhammadanism—it doesn't matter. The test is how far you have developed love of God. That is the test.
If you have developed the sense of love for God, then it is to be understood that you have actually followed the religious principle. Not the rituals that go in a hackneyed way to a temple or to a mosque or to a church, and as a matter of formalities you pay something and come back and do all nonsense subjects.
That is not religion. Religion is how far you have . . . just like in the same way a man is supposed to be great. How? He is considered a great man if he has got riches or he has got knowledge or he has got influence or he has got beauty—so many things.
