Āśraya· The supreme shelterRecognize Kṛṣṇa Behind Creation’s Wonders
“Who else but You, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, could deliver the earth from within the water? It is not very wonderful for You, however, because You acted most wonderfully in the creation of the universe. By Your energy You have created this wonderful cosmic manifestation.”
What the purport teaches
- An intelligent person gives credit not only to a scientist’s discovery but to the creator of the scientist’s wonderful brain.
- A learned Kṛṣṇa conscious person knows that behind the cosmic manifestation is the brain of Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- For the Lord who directs the cosmic manifestation, assuming a gigantic boar form and rescuing the earth is not difficult. His potencies are inconceivable even to the most learned scientist.
