The Supreme Remains Unchanged
“If there is such inconceivable potency in material objects, why should we not believe in the inconceivable potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead?
What the purport teaches
- The sun gives off vast amounts of heat and light without decreasing in power. This helps us consider the inconceivable potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- The sun is only a medium, not the original cause of creation. It is itself created by the supreme energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
- Material things can transform their energy and yet remain as they are. Similarly, the Supreme Personality of Godhead need not change when His energies change.
