Liberation Does Not Leave the Universe Empty
“In this way all moving and nonmoving living entities will come into existence, and the entire universe will be filled as it was previously.
What the purport teaches
- Moving and nonmoving living entities will again come into existence, filling the universe as before.
- The purport compares the material world to a prison. Even when its present prisoners are freed, others will fill it again.
- Association with material nature brings living entities into good and evil circumstances among various species. Unmanifested beings covered by ignorance gradually come to passion, and fruitive activities lead most of them into further imprisonment.
