Verse Text
(53) nitya-nūtanaḥ –
sadānubhūyamāno ’pi karoty ananubhūtavat |
vismayaṁ mādhurībhir yaḥ sa prokto nitya-nūtanaḥ ||184||
Translation
He who astonishes by appearing to be previously unrelished, though he has already been relished with His sweet qualities, is called ever-fresh.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
53. Ever Fresh
Kṛṣṇa is always remembered, and His name is always chanted by millions of devotees, but the devotees never become satiated. Instead of becoming disinterested in thinking of Kṛṣṇa and in chanting His holy name, the devotees get newer and newer impetus to continue the process. Therefore Kṛṣṇa is ever fresh. Not only Kṛṣṇa Himself, but also Kṛṣṇa’s knowledge is ever fresh. Bhagavad-gītā, which was imparted five thousand years ago, is still being read repeatedly by many, many men, and still new light is always being found in it. Therefore, Kṛṣṇa and His name, fame, qualities—and everything in relationship with Him—is ever fresh.
