Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 6.145-146
The Lord’s Mind and Senses Are Transcendental
“Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu continued, “When the Supreme Personality of Godhead wished to become many, He glanced over the material energy. Before the creation there were no mundane eyes or mind; therefore the transcendental nature of the Absolute Truth’s mind and eyes is confirmed.”
What the purport teaches
- When the Supreme Personality of Godhead wishes to become many, the cosmic manifestation arises simply by His glance over material energy.
- The Lord desired and glanced before creation, when no material minds or eyes existed. His mind and eyes are therefore transcendental.
- The Lord’s mind, eyes and all His other senses are transcendental, not material.
