Getting To Know God

Always Him, the illusory energy, Maya, cause of the perpetual transmigration of conditioned being from one form to another.

The Lord Kishna, the Supreme Eternal is the original Cause of all causes, just as the Earth is at the origin of the different species of trees, plants and other similar manifestations. As the Earth is represented in everything, it is present through this entire material manifestation in the form of the Supreme Soul. Yes, He is the Sovereign Cause of all causes, the Eternal Principle. Everything, in truth, is manifestation of its unique energy. The three gunas, virtue, passion, and ignorance, as well as the result of their interaction, are related to Him through his inner power. Supposedly independent, they are not, because, to be honest, the entire material energy rests on Him, the Supreme Soul. Ultimate cause of all, the transformations of material manifestation, birth, growth, stabilization, reproduction, decline, and destruction, are absent in Him. His supreme energy has a thousand forms, and precisely because it represents his energy, He is everywhere present.

Krishna, the Supreme Eternal says:

“This Universe is entirely penetrated by Me, in My unmanifest form. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them”.

To say that the Lord is not everywhere present is to say that He is beyond all things, even though his energy is active everywhere. A simple example will help us understand this. In a large company, the energy, or the organizational power of the general manager acts in the smallest structures of the operation, but that does not mean that the boss is himself present everywhere at once, even if, once again, its presence is indeed felt by all its employees, in every sector of the business. It is pure formality that the director manifests his presence in the various departments of the company, because in truth, his energy is already acting everywhere. Likewise, the omnipresence of the Supreme Lord is felt in the action of his energies. This is why the philosophy of the inconceivable and simultaneous difference and non-difference that exists between the Lord and all that is everywhere is confirmed. In short, God is One, but his energies are multiple.

The material universe is such a great river, whose waves are the three gunas, Virtue, Passion and Ignorance. The material body with the senses, the faculty of thinking, of feeling and of wanting, as well as the states of distress, happiness, attachment and covetousness, are indeed only so many products of the three gunas. And the fool who fails to realize that the Spiritual and Absolute Identity of God transcends these material influences remains entangled in the traps of the action concerned and is subject to the perpetual cycle of the dead and rebirth, deprived of any chance of to be freed.

Whoever knows the nature of the advent and acts of the Supreme Lord, Krishna, frees himself from the clutches of material nature and returns to his original dwelling
