etad-yonini bhutani
sarvanity upadharaya
aham krtsnasya jagatah
prabhavah pralayas tatha

(Knowledge of the Absolute, Text 6 Chapter 7)


Meaning:

All created beings have their sources in these two natures. Of all that is material and all that is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both the origin and the dissolution

*** Everything that exists is a product of matter and spirit. Spirit is the basic field of creation, and matter is created by spirit. Spirit is not created  at a certain stage of material development. Rather, this material world is manifested only on the basis of spiritual energy. This material body is developed  because spirit is present within matter; a child grows gradually  to boyhood and then to manhood because that superior energy, spirit soul, is present.Similarly, the entire cosmic manifestation of the gigantic universe is developed because of the presence of the Supersoul (Visnu). Therefore spirit and matter, which combine to manifest this gigantic universal form, are originally two energies of the Lord, and consequently the Lord is the original cause of everything.

apareyam itas tv anyam
prakrtim viddhi me param
jiva-bhutam mah-baho
yayedam dharyate jagat

(Knowledge of the Absolute, Text 5 Chapter 7)


Meaning:

Besides these, O mighty-armed Arjuna, there is another, superior energy of Mine, which comprises the living entities  who are exploiting the resources of this material , inferior nature.

*** O Supreme Eternal ! If the embodied living entities were eternal and all-pervading like you, then they would not be under your control. But if the living entities are accepted as minute energies of your  Lordship, then they are at once subject to your supreme control.Therefore real liberation entails surrender  by the living entities to your control, and that surrender will make them happy.

bhumir apo’ nalo vayuh
kham mano buddhir eva ca
ahankara itiyam me
bhinna prakrtir astadha

(Knowledge of the Absolute, Text 4 Chapter 7)


Meaning:

Earth, water, fire,air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego-all together these  eight constitute My separate material energies. 

*** The science of God analyzes the constitutional position of God and his diverse energies. Material nature is called prakrti, or the energy of the Lord in his different purusa incarnations(expressions) as described in the Satvata-tantra: ” For material creation, Lord Krsna’s  plenary expansion assumes three Visnus. The first one, Maha-Visnu, creates the total material energy, known as the mahat-tattva. The second, Garbhodakasayi Vishnu, enters into all the universes to create diversities in each of them. The third, Ksirodakasayi Vishnu is diffused as the all-pervading Supersoul in all the universes and is known as Paramatma. He is present even within the atoms. Anyone who knows these three Visnus can be liberated from material  entanglement.

(Knowledge of the Absolute, Text 2 Chapter 7)


Meaning:
