of water, air, fire, ether, false ego and elements of material nature, and each layer is ten times larger than the previous one . The cosmic space contained within these layers can not be measured by any scientist or anyone else, and beyond this space are seven layers of elements, each ten times more great than the previous one. The layer of water is itself ten times larger than the diameter of the galaxy, then comes the layer of fire, ten times larger than the layer of water, and the layer of air is in turn ten times thicker than the layer of fire. Such dimensions are simply inconceivable for the small brain of the human being. This is true for all galaxies. It is also stated that this description is that of a single egg-shaped galaxy. There are countless galaxies outside ours, some of which are infinitely larger. In fact, the galaxy we inhabit is said to be the smallest; that is why the master of this galaxy, Brahma, has only four heads to administer it. Because in other galaxies, whose dimensions far exceed those of ours, Brahma has more heads. The Caitanya-caritamrta reports that one day, all these Brahmas were called by Krishna at the request of ours, who was then amazed at the sight of the other Brahmas, all greater than him. This is the inconceivable power of the Lord. No one can appreciate the greatness of God by intellectual speculation or by committing the gross error of identifying oneself with Him. Such attempts are madness.

In truth, with each breath of Maha-Visnu, the plenary emanation of Krishna, immersed in his mystical sleep, innumerable galaxies emanate from Him and these then return to His body when He inspires again. Let us only try to imagine that these galaxies that our limited knowledge holds for infinity, are so vast that the raw ingredients, the five elements of the cosmic manifestation the earth, water, fire, air and ether , are not only an integral part of the galaxy but also form around it seven layers of matter, each ten times larger than the previous one. Thus, each of the galaxies is carefully coated and there is an incalculable number. All spring from the innumerable pores of the spiritual body of Maha-Visnu. Atoms and dust particles that float in the air can not be counted, and so are the innumerable galaxies that spring from the spiritual body of the Lord. This is why the Vedas, the original scriptures also called "The true gospel" affirm that God is beyond our power of understanding. Understanding the greatness of God escapes our intellectual abilities. That is why the truly erudite and sane man will not claim to be God himself, but will rather endeavor to understand the nature of the Lord by learning to distinguish the spiritual from the material. By careful discernment, man is able to understand with clarity that the Supreme Soul, also called the Holy Spirit, transcends the higher and lower energies, although it maintains a direct relationship with these two manifestations. Krishna teaches that while everything is based on his energy, He is none the less different, or distinct.

Krishna left behind all the planets and finally reached the bark, the limit of the galaxy. In fact, the entire material galaxy is drowned in darkness, but the sun chases away the darkness. However, the bark deprived of the rays of the sun, always remains in the densest darkness. When Krishna approached, the four horses that were pulling
