Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Madhya 6.143
ব্রহ্ম হৈতে জন্মে বিশ্ব, ব্রহ্মেতে জীবয় ।
সেই ব্ৰহ্মে পুনরপি হয়ে যায় লয় ॥ ১৪৩ ॥
brahma haite janme viśva, brahmete jīvaya
sei brahme punarapi haye yāya laya
“Everything in the cosmic manifestation emanates from the Absolute Truth, remains in the Absolute Truth, and after annihilation again enters the Absolute Truth.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
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.
