in Himself, although an infinite number of Avatars equally complete in themselves emanate from Him, He always remains identical and complete in Himself.
Krishna's energy is naturally transformed into three categories: internal energy or spiritual energy, Master divinity of eternal bliss, marginal energy constituted by spiritual beings and material energy or energy of illusion.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, fully permeated with perfections, holds innumerable powers, all of which are divided into three main groups, corresponding to the three primary energies of Lord. Its spiritual energy, as well as marginal energy, constitutes its higher energy, while material energy, issued from ignorance, constitutes its lower energy.
Living beings or spiritual souls, which belong to the marginal energy, lie between higher spiritual energy and lower material energy. Depending on their closer proximity to spiritual energy or to material energy, living beings experience higher or lower levels of existence. The individual soul conditioned by material nature embodies marginal energy under the influence of external energy or material energy. However, when marginal energy comes under the sign of spiritual energy, it becomes worthy of the love of God.
When to us living beings we constitute the marginal energy of the Lord, which is greater than the external energy or material energy. The Lord's higher marginal energy is incompatible with material energy. But when the distinct beings who constitute the higher marginal energy reestablish the link with the internal energy, they regain their condition of joy and happiness.
Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, is the reservoir of all knowledge, of all pleasure and for all eternity. Krishna's supreme knowledge manifests through three energies; the internal, the marginal and the external.
Through his internal energy, He exists in Himself with his spiritual surroundings, through his marginal energy, He manifests in the form of living beings that we all are, and through His external energy, He manifests in the form of material energy. And the manifestation of each of these energies rests on a background of eternity, bliss, and knowledge.
The Supreme Lord enjoys six excellences, so that no one can establish that God is formless or devoid of energies. Anyone who claims this is totally against the Vedic teaching [of the Vedas, the original holy scriptures, also called “The True Gospel”].
In reality, God, the Supreme Person, is the Master of all energies, while the distinct being, an infinitesimal fragment of his Person, can be subjugated by material energy. The “Mundaka Upanisad” sacred text, offers us the example of two birds perched on a branch of the same tree. One of them [the distinct being] eats its fruits, while the other [God] only observes it. When the first turns to the second, he frees himself from all anxiety. Such is the position of the infinitesimal being. As long as he forgets
