Sarga· CreationThe Lord Enters Everything
“When all these elements were unmixed, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the origin of creation, along with time, work, and the qualities of the modes of material nature, entered into the universe with the total material energy in seven divisions.”
What the purport teaches
- When the causes were still unmixed, the Supreme Personality of Godhead entered each universe as Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu.
- The seven primary elements accompanied Him: the five material elements, mahat-tattva and false ego. The translation also describes time, work and the modes of material nature accompanying Him.
- The Lord is not only within the universe but also within its atoms. He is within the heart of every living entity.
