of material creation, too, is none other than the Lord. Lying on the Causal Ocean, Maha-Visnu, with his breath, produces all the galaxies. Then penetrating into each of them in the form of Garbhodakasayi Visnu, He creates Brahma, Siva and many other celestial beings to watch over these galaxies, and again absorbs everything into His Person.
Lord Krishna says: “At the end of Brahma's life span, all created manifestation returns to My energy, and when I desire, by My own power, I create again.”
In truth, all of these represent only manifestations of the inconceivable energies of the Lord, about which no one can have any complete information
Logos 21
Too many people ignore the existence of the soul spiritual. They still do not know that matter being inert, it is the soul embodied in a human body, animal and plant, which allows the latter to move and live.
Material elements do not create, alone the soul can create. Life cannot be a product of matter and the latter cannot create itself, because being inert it cannot in any case move. The body of matter owes its existence to the soul, which is life or the vital force. The material energy, called lower, has no power without the help of the higher energy, the spiritual soul. But there is another force, higher than the spiritual soul, this is how we trace our way back to Krishna, the original source of all power. Nature comes alive under the guidance of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person. This is the real knowledge. Krishna imprints the first movement, then this force is transmitted in successive phases until the entire cosmic manifestation is manifested and then maintained, this is the initial phase of creation.
Krishna explains it clearly: “Material nature acts under My direction and thus generates all beings, mobile and still. Know that all living species proceed from the bosom of material nature, and that I am its father, who gives seed.”
Krishna is the original father; it is He who gives the seed of everything. It is therefore the root cause of everything we know. Now, if we understand the original cause of all causes, then we understand the nature of everything. Also, the one who has knowledge of the original cause, naturally knows the subsequent causes.
