Everything Comes From and Rests in Kṛṣṇa
“Everything in the cosmic manifestation emanates from the Absolute Truth, remains in the Absolute Truth, and after annihilation again enters the Absolute Truth.
What the purport teaches
- Everything in the cosmic manifestation emanates from the Absolute Truth, remains in Him and enters Him again after annihilation. That original Absolute Truth is Kṛṣṇa.
- Kṛṣṇa is the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Although He always stays in Goloka Vṛndāvana, He is still all-pervading.
- His all-pervasive feature is understood as impersonal because His form is not seen in that all-pervasiveness. Everything rests on the rays of His bodily effulgence.
