Sarga· CreationKṛṣṇa Is the Ultimate Cause
“The Supreme Powerful Lord then simultaneously entered into the twenty-three elements with the goddess Kālī, His external energy, who alone amalgamates all the different elements.”
What the purport teaches
- The Supreme Powerful Lord entered the twenty-three material elements with His external energy, Kālī. Material nature is not the final source of creation.
- Time combines the material elements and later dissolves them. This energy acts under the Lord’s direction.
- The Lord enters the universes and every atom through His expansions. The wonderful activities of material nature depend on Lord Kṛṣṇa, the original Personality of Godhead and ultimate cause of all causes.
