Getting To Know God
Page 38 of 176

Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, whose form is all of knowledge, bliss and eternity, is the Master of all supernatural powers. It is situated beyond the material manifestation of its cause, which lies in the Sovereign Person of Maha-Visnu, its plenary manifestation. From all He is the original Master. On Him rests the cosmic manifestation, of which He is the Creator but also the ingredients of his creation. He is the Supreme Master of the cosmos, created in truth for the sole purpose of his entertainment.

It also represents the different phases of matter, from the beginning to the end of the cosmic manifestation, visible in various aspects of time, for He is both the Cause and the effect of this cosmos. The two poles of this world, represented by the dominant and the dominated, also lie in Him, who is above them the Supreme and Absolute Master. This is why He is beyond the perception of our senses. He is still the Supreme Soul (the Holy Spirit), not born and immutable, He possesses in his Divine Essence all the source principles. The six kinds of transformations which the material body must undergo do not affect it in any way. And the wonderful variety that people the material universe is also created by Him, who came in the form of the Supreme Soul in every living being and even atoms. He is the support of all that is.

The vital force, the principle of life in all things, and the resulting creative force do not act on their own; they depend entirely on Krishna, without whose will they can not act. Material energy does not enjoy knowledge. It can not act independently without being by God implemented. And because the material nature rests entirely on Him, living beings can only attempt to act. Without his sanction and will, they can not accomplish anything or achieve the results they want. It is from Krishna, and from Him alone, that the original energy emanates. The rays of the moon, the heat of fire, the radiance of the sun, the glitter of the stars and the lightning charged with electricity - so powerful-, the gravity of the mountains, the energy of the Earth as the quality of its aroma These are so many different manifestations of his Person. And so for the water and its pure taste, as well as for the vital force that holds all life: are mere aspects of his Grace.

Although the power of the senses, the power of the mind to think, feel, and want, as well as the power, movements, and growth of the body, seem to result from different movements of the airs within the body, they are not in truth only manifestations of his energy. The vast expanse of space rests in Him. The vibrations of the ether, the thunder, the supreme sound, the omkara, as well as the various combinations of words that distinguish things from one another, are its symbolic representations. In truth, He is everything. The senses, the Master of the senses, the heavenly beings, and the acquisition of knowledge, which is the function of the senses, as well as the object of knowledge, He is everything. The resolution of the intelligence and the piercing memory of living beings is Him. The egotistical principle inherent in ignorance, at the origin of this material universe, and the egotistical principle inherent in passion, in the origin of the senses, and that inherent in virtue, at the origin of the various celestial beings acting as masters in this world, it is Him again.
