“All the living beings within the material and spiritual worlds are ultimately born of You, for You are the Supersoul of them all.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
All living beings in the material and spiritual worlds are ultimately born of the Lord, who is their Supersoul.
The material manifestation arises through the three modes of material nature. The spiritual world has no material modes, yet is full of spiritual variety and eternally liberated souls serving Lord Kṛṣṇa with love.
Conditioned souls suffer the threefold miseries of material nature. They exist in different species because of their aversion to transcendental loving devotion to the Supreme Lord.
