Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 21.87
Kṛṣṇa’s Energy Cannot Be Measured
“ ‘No one can measure the length and breadth of the one fourth of My energy manifested in the material world. Who then can measure the three fourths that is manifested in the spiritual world?’
What the purport teaches
- The material world manifests one fourth of Kṛṣṇa’s energy.
- No one can measure even the length and breadth of this material manifestation.
- Three fourths of His energy is manifested in the spiritual world. Kṛṣṇa asks who, then, could measure that.
