God, his material possessions have no real value, they somehow boil down to zero. But if we relate this zero to the Supreme One, from zero it becomes ten. Separated from the Supreme One, our zero always has a zero value, even if we add another hundred zeros to it. Again, unless material assets are used in the consciousness of God, they can turn out to be harmful and demean the one who possesses them.
Logos 20
It is in God that material creation occurs. There is nothing apart from God, there is nothing except the Lord.
Krishna, God, the Supreme and Original Person creates the cosmos manifested through his first manifestation, Maha-Visnu, his emanation plenary, but He Himself remains unborn. It is in Him, however, that creation takes place; matter and its manifestations are none other than Himself. He holds them for a while, then absorbs them back into Himself.
Creation is no different from the Lord, and yet He Himself is not there. The impersonal conception of Absolute Truth, God, is also a form of the Lord, and the whole creation rests on this inconceivable form of the Lord. In other words, the whole creation is none other than the Lord Himself, nor is it different from Him; but simultaneously, as God, the Supreme and Original Person, Krishna, He abides beyond the created manifestation. Impersonalists emphasize the impersonal aspect of the Lord and do not believe in his original Personality, but the sages recognize this original form, whose impersonal aspect is in fact only one of its aspects. The impersonal and personal conceptions of the Lord therefore exist simultaneously. Inconceivable to human intelligence, this notion must simply be accepted on the authority of the scriptures. It can only be fully realized by progressing on the path of devotional service to the Lord, and never by intellectual speculation or inductive logic. Impersonalists rely more or less on it, and that is why they steadfastly remain in darkness as far as God, the Supreme Person, Krishna is concerned. Their conception of God remains obscure.
God, the Supreme and Original Person manifests his full emanation, Maha-Visnu, and thus rests on the Causal Ocean which He Himself created. All the galaxies emanate from the pores of the skin of his spiritual and absolute body, while he is immersed in the mystical sleep of eternity.
This Maha-Visnu is the first manifestation within the framework of creation. From Him come all galaxies and all material manifestations then occur, one after the other. The Lord creates the Causal Ocean which forms the material creation, like a cloud in the spiritual sky and fragment of its various manifestations. This spiritual sky is constituted by the deployment of the rays emanating from his Person, and the cloud
