Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 20.153
The Source of All Is Ever Youthful
“Kṛṣṇa is the original source of everything and the sum total of everything. He appears as the supreme youth, and His whole body is composed of spiritual bliss. He is the shelter of everything and master of everyone.
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa is the origin of all viṣṇu-tattvas, including Mahā-Viṣṇu, Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu and Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. He is the ultimate goal of Vaiṣṇava philosophy.
- Everything emanates from Kṛṣṇa, but He Himself has no source. He is the shelter of everything and the master of everyone.
- His body is completely spiritual, composed of spiritual bliss, and the source of all spiritual being. Although He is the supreme source of everyone, He is always a fresh youth.
