One Spiritual Energy, Beyond Material Qualities
“O Lord, You are the support of everything. The three attributes hlādinī, sandhinī and samvit exist in You as one spiritual energy. But the material modes, which cause happiness, misery and mixtures of the two, do not exist in You, for You have no material qualities.”
What the purport teaches
- The Lord is the support of everything.
- Hlādinī, sandhinī and samvit exist in Him as one spiritual energy.
- The material modes cause happiness, misery and mixtures of both. They do not exist in the Lord, who has no material qualities.
