Wisdom of today - Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (Bhāgavata Purāṇa) » Canto 1: Creation » SB 1.11: Lord Kṛṣṇa’s Entrance into Dvārakā

SB 1.11.37

tam ayaṁ manyate loko
 hy asaṅgam api saṅginam
ātmaupamyena manujaṁ
 vyāpṛṇvānaṁ yato ’budhaḥ

Word for word: 

tam — unto Lord Kṛṣṇa; ayam — all these (common men); manyate — do speculate within the mind; lokaḥ — the conditioned souls; hi — certainly; asaṅgam — unattached; api — in spite of; saṅginam — affected; ātma — self; aupamyena — by comparison with the self; manujam — ordinary man; vyāpṛṇvānam — being engaged in; yataḥ — because; abudhaḥ — foolish because of ignorance.

Translation: 

The common materialistic conditioned souls speculate that the Lord is one of them. Out of their ignorance they think that the Lord is affected by matter, although He is unattached.

Purport: 

The word abudhaḥ is significant here. Due to ignorance only, the foolish mundane wranglers misunderstand the Supreme Lord and spread their foolish imaginations amongst innocent persons by propaganda. The Supreme Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the original primeval Personality of Godhead, and when He was personally present before the eyes of everyone, He displayed full-fledged divine potency in every field of activities. As we have already explained in the first verse of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, He is completely independent to act however He likes, but all His actions are full of bliss, knowledge and eternity. Only the foolish mundaners misunderstand Him, unaware of His eternal form of knowledge and bliss, which is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā and Upaniṣads. His different potencies work in a perfect plan of natural sequence, and doing everything by the agency of His different potencies, He remains eternally the supreme independent. When He descends to the material world by His causeless mercy to different living beings, He does so by His own potency. He is not subject to any condition of the material modes of nature, and He descends as He is originally. (....)
