In defining the Supreme Personality of Godhead, we say that He is full in all six opulences — wealth, fame, strength, influence, beauty and renunciation. He is called renounced because He is not attached to anything in this material world; He is specifically attached to the spiritual world and the living entities there. The affairs of the material world take place under the superintendence of DurgÄdevÄ« (sṛṣá¹i-sthiti-pralaya-sÄdhana-Å›aktir ekÄ/ chÄyeva yasya bhuvanÄni bibharti durgÄ). Everything is going on under the strict rules and regulations of the material energy, represented by DurgÄ. Therefore the Lord is completely detached and need not give attention to the material world. SÄ«tÄdevÄ« belongs to the spiritual world. Similarly, Lord Laká¹£maṇa, RÄmacandra’s younger brother, is a manifestation of Saá¹…kará¹£aṇa, and Lord RÄmacandra Himself is VÄsudeva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Since the Lord is always spiritually qualified, He is attached to servants who always render transcendental loving service unto Him. He is attached to the truth in life, not to brahminical qualities. Indeed, He is never attached to any material qualities. Although He is the Supersoul of all living entities, He is specifically manifest to those who are self-realized, and He is especially dear to the hearts of His transcendental devotees. Because Lord RÄmacandra descended to teach human society how dutiful a king should be, He apparently gave up the company of mother SÄ«tÄ and Laká¹£maṇa. Factually, however, He could not have given them up. One should therefore learn about the activities of Lord RÄmacandra from a self-realized soul. Then one can understand the transcendental activities of the Lord.
