Theme Analysis

Śrīla Prabhupāda contrasts the conditioned living entity's forgetfulness with the infallible omniscience of God's remembering. Because the jīva changes material bodies, they naturally forget their past lives and activities; however, because the Supreme Lord never changes His sac-cid-ānanda body, He remembers everything from millions and billions of years ago. The Lord remembers the activities of every living entity as the Supersoul, and He specifically remembers the loving sacrifices of His pure devotees. His remembrance is also filled with deep transcendental affection, as seen when He cried out of love while remembering the residents of Vṛndāvana, or when He mercifully thought of Vidura before departing the material world.

• The Infallible Memory: Unlike the conditioned soul who forgets everything due to the constant changing of material bodies, the Supreme Lord remembers all events across millions of years because His spiritual body never changes.
• The Supersoul's Constant Remembrance: As the Paramātmā situated in the core of the heart, the Lord perfectly remembers every single activity and desire of the living entity throughout all their evolutionary lifetimes.
• Affectionate Reciprocation: The Lord's remembering is not merely a mechanical recording of data; it is filled with intense transcendental emotion and causeless mercy toward His surrendered devotees.
