Translation

My Lord ! every thing that is mysterious is also known to you because the creator and destroyer of the material world and maintainer of the spiritual world,—the original Personality of Godhead who is transcendental to the three modes of material nature,—is worshipped by you.

Purport

A person who is cent per cent engaged in the service of the Lord,—is the emblem of all knowledge. Such devotee of the Lord in full perfection of devotional service is also perfect by the qualification of the Personality of Godhead. As such the eight fold prefection of mystic power (Astasiddhi) are very little portion of Godly opulence. A devotee like Narada, can act wonderful by his spiritual perfection for which every individual is trying to overcome success. Srila Narada is cent per cent perfect living being although not equal to the qualifications of the Personality of Godhead.
