Ultimately 9.10 emphasizes the Lord’s Supreme will and thus proves that without the superintendence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, material nature cannot do anything
The Lord is neutral and aloof and He simply sanctions the material energy
Management is done by material nature on His behalf and Lord is detached
Lord and material nature
Analogy: Lord is Father and Material Nature is Mother
Lord glances, but species are decided based on past deeds and desire of living entity
Analogy: Fragrance of a flower touched by the smelling power of a person (yet the smelling and the flower are detached):
Similar connection is there between material world and Supreme Personality of Godhead SUMMARISED THEME 9A SUMMARY OF LORD’S AISHVARYA-JNANA His inconceivable potency in terms of creation, maintainence and destruction A) Krishna’s role in maintenance
Lord pervades the entire universe by His energies
He pervades in His unmanifested form, which can only be revealed by devotional service
Everything rests in Him, but still He does not lose His personal existence
Inconceivable mystic opulence – He is aloof from all the material creation and everything happens just by His will
Sky is the biggest manifestation to conceive. In that sky, wind is the biggest to conceive
Wind is great and influences all the movements. But wind is never beyond sky, it is always subordinate to the sky
All wonderful cosmic manifestations (compared here to the movements of the wind) exist by the will of the Lord (Lord compared to sky) – Still Lord is aloof and unaffected just like sky is aloof and not affected by movements of wind B) Krishna’s role in creation and destruction
Under the influence of the Lord’s energy, material world is automatically created and destroyed again and again
At the end of the millennium all material manifestations enter into My nature
Maha-Vishnu is the resting place of all material
It is Lord Krishna Himself who controls this process as the purusha-avartaars
At the beginning of another millennium, the Lord again creates by His potencies C) Lord is neutral – The Lord is not directly responsible for any of the activities of material existence. He simply sanctions the material energy based on the past deeds and desires of the living entities
