Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 24.80
One Truth Revealed According to the Process
“The Absolute Truth is the same, but according to the process by which one understands Him, He appears in three forms — as Brahman, Paramātmā and Bhagavān, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
What the purport teaches
- The Absolute Truth remains the same.
- According to the process by which one understands Him, He appears as Brahman, Paramātmā or Bhagavān.
- Bhagavān is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. These three forms do not make the Absolute Truth three separate truths.
